What is a Dental Crown?

A dental crown is a protective cap placed over a tooth to restore its shape, strength, and appearance. Crowns can be made from various materials, but we typically use all-porcelain or zirconia, which offer excellent durability and the most lifelike appearance. These crowns mimic the color and translucency of real enamel while offering strong, long-lasting support.

Who is a Candidate for Dental Crowns?

You may be a good candidate for a crown if you have:

  • A tooth that’s significantly worn down or cracked
  • A cavity too large for a standard filling
  • A tooth that has undergone root canal therapy
  • A chipped or broken tooth affecting your bite or appearance

Our team will conduct a thorough exam and recommend the best restorative option based on your unique needs.

What to Expect During the Crown Procedure

Once we’ve determined that a crown is the right solution, your treatment will usually take two visits. At your first appointment, we’ll carefully reshape the tooth and take digital impressions using our advanced scanner—no messy trays needed. These scans are sent to a dental lab, where your crown is custom-crafted to match your bite and blend in with the rest of your teeth.

We’ll place a temporary crown to protect the tooth while your permanent one is being made. After a week or two, you’ll return for final placement. Once everything feels right and looks natural, we’ll permanently bond the crown in place.

Benefits of Dental Crowns

Dental crowns are one of the most popular treatments we have to offer because of their many advantages, including:

  • Natural aesthetics – Each crown is designed to match your natural teeth in shape, color, and size
  • Improved strength – Crowns reinforce weakened teeth to prevent further damage
  • Better function – Enjoy chewing, speaking, and smiling without discomfort
  • Long-term protection – A well-maintained crown can last 10 to 15 years or more

Dental Crowns FAQ

Dental treatments can be complicated, but that’s why our experts are here to help every step of the way. Before you come in for a consultation, dive into some of the most frequently asked questions about dental crowns to feel confident and ready for your visit.

The vast majority of dental crowns, especially those placed on teeth in the front of the mouth, are made of materials like zirconia or porcelain. These materials are famous for their ability to mimic natural tooth enamel. In fact, light even bounces off of them in the exact same way. Additionally, we can personalize each crown to blend in with your adjacent teeth. No one outside of our dental team should be able to tell that your crown isn’t your “real” tooth!

Essentially, caring for your dental crown is the same as caring for any other tooth. Brush, floss, and rinse with mouthwash every day as you normally would. Be sure to also attend a dental checkup and cleaning with us every six months. These appointments are a great way to spot problems with your crown and get them treated as soon as possible. Also, avoid using your crowned tooth (and your other teeth) as tools to open bottles, hold bags, etc. This can break, loosen, or dislodge your crown. Lastly, try not to directly chew anything particularly hard or sticky with your crown, as this could also damage or loosen your crown.

Sometimes, despite your best efforts, a crown can still fall off. While a lost crown isn’t as urgent a dental emergency as a knocked-out tooth, you should still call us as soon as you can after it happens. In the meantime, locate the crown and give it a gentle rinse. Once it’s clean, use dental wax, sugarless gum, or even a dab of toothpaste to place the crown back on the tooth. Keep in mind that this is only a temporary solution and you should see us right away so we can permanently reattach it. Until then, avoid chewing with that tooth.

When you first get your crown placed, it might take some time to get used to it. You might spend some time absentmindedly running your tongue over the crown, noticing how different it feels compared to your natural teeth. However, the longer your crown is in place, the more it will gradually start to feel like a normal part of your smile. In fact, if your crown is made of a tooth-colored material, you might even forget that you have it!
