A protective restoration, made for your tooth.
Every crown begins with a careful evaluation of the tooth, your bite, and the surrounding smile to determine the most appropriate path forward.
What it is
What Is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap that fits over and fully encases a tooth to improve its appearance or restore its structure. Stonebriar prefers all-porcelain and zirconia crowns for their lifelike appearance, strength, and durability.
Who it may help
Candidates for Dental Crowns
A crown may be recommended for a weakened, damaged, significantly chipped, decayed, or broken tooth. A comprehensive examination allows your dentist to determine whether this restoration fits your individual needs.
The crown process
Carefully prepared. Precisely finished.
Evaluate and prepare
Following an initial evaluation, your dentist carefully prepares the tooth by removing a small amount of enamel when necessary.
Scan and design
Images and digital impressions are sent to a dental laboratory, where the crown is manufactured for a precise fit. A temporary crown can protect a visible tooth during this stage.
Try in and bond
After approximately one to two weeks, the final crown is evaluated for appearance, comfort, and fit before it is permanently bonded to the tooth.
Benefits of dental crowns
Renewed protection with everyday confidence.
A well-designed crown does more than improve one tooth. It supports comfortable function while protecting compromised structure from further damage.
A custom crown can provide:
- Appearance: Personalized size, shape, and shade
- Strength: Durable support designed to last 10–15 years with proper care
- Function: More comfortable speaking, laughing, and chewing
- Protection: Reinforcement for damaged teeth and reduced sensitivity
Dental crown FAQ
Questions answered with clarity and care.
Understanding the procedure, materials, aftercare, and expected result can make the decision to restore your tooth feel more comfortable.
Will people be able to tell I have a dental crown?
Modern zirconia and porcelain closely mimic the way natural enamel reflects light. Because each crown is personalized to coordinate with adjacent teeth, it should blend naturally into your smile.
How do I take care of my crown?
Brush, floss, and rinse daily, and attend checkups and cleanings every six months. Avoid using teeth as tools and try not to chew especially hard or sticky foods directly with the crowned tooth.
What happens if my crown comes off?
Call the practice as soon as possible. Gently rinse the crown and keep it safe. Dental wax, sugarless gum, or a small dab of toothpaste may hold it temporarily, but professional reattachment is still needed. Avoid chewing on that tooth meanwhile.
Will my crown feel natural?
A new crown may feel unfamiliar at first, but it should gradually begin to feel like a normal part of your smile. Tooth-colored material can make its appearance equally unobtrusive.
Are dental crown procedures painful?
Local anesthesia is normally used to numb the area, so treatment is typically not painful. Some temporary pressure during preparation or mild sensitivity afterward may occur. Tell your dentist about any discomfort so your care can be adjusted.
What flexible options do dental crowns offer?
Crowns can be customized in color, shape, size, and material. They can protect weakened teeth, cover chips or discoloration, and work alongside treatments such as bridges or dental implants to address both restorative and aesthetic needs.
