Learn MoreA dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap that is placed over a damaged or decayed tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Crowns can be made of various materials, including porcelain, ceramic, metal, or a combination of these materials.
Dental crowns are custom-made caps that fit over the entire visible portion of a tooth, restoring its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Our crowns are crafted from durable, natural-looking materials that blend seamlessly with your existing teeth. With a dental crown, you can protect and restore a damaged tooth, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
Getting a new crown, such as a porcelain fused to metal crown, typically requires two visits. During the first visit, the dental care provider prepares the tooth by removing any decay and shaping it to fit the type of crown you choose. An impression is taken of the prepared tooth to create a custom crown. A temporary crown is placed while the permanent porcelain fused crown is being crafted. At the second visit, the temporary crown is removed, and the permanent crown is checked for fit, color, and bite before being securely cemented in place.
After getting a permanent crown, you may experience sensitivity to hot and cold temperatures from a few days to a few weeks. Avoid chewing on hard or sticky foods on the crowned tooth for 24 hours. Practice good oral hygiene, brushing twice a day and flossing daily, and visit your dentist regularly for check-ups and cleanings.
With proper care, dental crowns can last from several year to forever.
