Dental Crowns

Durable, natural-looking crowns that protect compromised teeth.

A dental crown wraps a tooth completely — strengthening what’s left, restoring full chewing function, and matching your natural shade. Modern crowns are stronger and more natural-looking than ever.

When you need a crown

A large cavity that’s outgrown a filling. A tooth that’s cracked, fractured, or heavily worn. After a root canal. Over a dental implant. To replace an old, failing crown. The unifying theme: the tooth needs more support than a filling can give.

The crown process

We numb the area, shape the tooth, take a precise digital impression, and place a temporary. Your permanent crown is crafted from porcelain or zirconia and seated typically within a couple of weeks. The fit, bite, and shade are checked carefully before we cement it.

How long crowns last

Well-cared-for crowns commonly last 15 to 30 years. Habits matter — grinding, biting hard objects, and inconsistent flossing all shorten lifespan. We’ll show you exactly how to extend yours.
