Crowns

Crowns

A dental crown restores a damaged, weakened, or heavily filled tooth back to its full strength and shape. Custom-fitted to your tooth, a crown protects it from further damage while giving you a natural-looking result you can chew and smile with confidently.

What It Is

A dental crown is a custom-made cap that fits completely over a tooth, restoring its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Crowns are typically crafted from durable porcelain or ceramic materials that are color-matched to blend naturally with your surrounding teeth.

Why You’d Need It

You might need a crown if you:

  • Have a cracked, fractured, or severely worn-down tooth
  • Have a cavity too large for a standard filling to repair
  • Recently had a root canal and need to protect the treated tooth
  • Need to cover and protect a dental implant
  • Want to improve the shape or color of a discolored or misshapen tooth
