All About Dental Crowns

Dental crowns are caps that restore and protect severely damaged teeth when a filling isn't enough.

They restore function to teeth too weak from decay or damage.

Crowns protect and strengthen your natural teeth.

They can improve the appearance of discolored or misshapen teeth.

Your treatment will typically involve two visits, during which we will prepare your tooth and place a custom-made crown.

Two-Step Process – We prepare your tooth in the first visit and place the crown in the second.
Custom Fit – A temporary crown is placed while a dental lab creates your permanent, custom crown.
Final Placement – We ensure the crown matches your teeth and fits comfortably before cementing it.

It is important to care for your temporary crown to ensure your treatment goes smoothly.

Avoid Sticky Foods – Stay away from sticky foods that can dislodge the crown.
Change Flossing Method – Use a sideways motion when flossing to prevent pulling the crown off.
Protect Your Crown – We provide specific after-care instructions to protect your temporary crown.
