Crown Treatment Benefits
Dental crowns are custom-made restorations that repair and protect teeth with serious damage. They rebuild tooth structure, preserve your bite, and improve the look of your smile. Common reasons for crowns include:
- Extensive Decay Restoration – Rebuilds teeth with significant damage while preserving healthy tooth structure
- Endodontic Protection – Protects root canal treated teeth from fracture and restores chewing function
- Fracture Repair – Restores broken teeth to optimal strength through comprehensive crown coverage
- Aesthetic Enhancement – Corrects severe discoloration or malformation through custom shade matching
- Bridge Support – Provides stable foundation for fixed partial dentures in multi-tooth cases
Each crown is carefully crafted from durable, tooth-colored materials for a natural fit and lasting strength, helping you maintain both function and oral health. While crowns are highly effective, they may need replacement over time, and patients can occasionally experience sensitivity or discomfort if the underlying tooth changes.
Why Choose Dental Crowns
Porcelain crowns provide a reliable way to restore and protect damaged teeth while keeping a natural look. They combine strength, function, and aesthetics in a treatment that patients can trust.
- Tooth strength – reinforces weakened teeth for lasting support
- Natural appearance – custom shade matching helps crowns blend with your smile
- Durability – with good care, porcelain crowns often last 10–15 years
- Versatility – restores teeth that are decayed, fractured, discolored, or misshapen, and supports dental bridges
- Improved function – helps with chewing, speaking, and maintaining bite alignment
- Confidence – restores the look of your smile, which may improve self-esteem
Porcelain crowns are a proven option for both protecting tooth structure and improving smile appearance, giving patients a balanced solution for oral health and aesthetics.

Dental Crowns FAQ’s
What types of crown materials are available?
We offer several premium crown materials including all-porcelain crowns for optimal aesthetics, zirconia crowns for maximum strength, and porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns for durability. Material selection depends on your specific tooth location, bite forces, and aesthetic preferences through personalized restorative dentistry consultation.
Am I a candidate for dental crowns?
Ideal crown candidates have sufficient tooth structure remaining after decay removal, healthy gums, and realistic expectations. Our restorative dentistry evaluation assesses your oral health status, bite alignment, and tooth condition to determine crown suitability. Crowns work best for extensively damaged teeth requiring comprehensive restoration.
What's the crown procedure process?
Crown placement involves tooth preparation with conservative enamel removal, detailed impressions for custom fabrication, temporary crown placement for protection, and final crown bonding using advanced adhesive techniques. The complete process typically requires 2-3 appointments over 2-4 weeks for optimal results.
Are there risks with dental crowns?
Dental crowns are a safe and common treatment, but like any procedure, there are a few risks. Some patients may notice temporary sensitivity to hot or cold foods, especially right after placement. In rare cases, a crown may chip, loosen, or need adjustment if your bite changes.
Over time, crowns may also need replacement due to normal wear or changes in the underlying tooth. Choosing a dentist with extensive experience and following good oral hygiene habits can help reduce these risks and extend the life of your crown. Here’s what the Cleveland Clinic says about dental crowns.
How do I care for my dental crowns?
Crown maintenance requires regular brushing, flossing, and professional dental cleanings to prevent gum disease around crown margins. Avoid chewing hard objects, ice, or sticky foods that could damage crowns. With proper oral hygiene and regular dental visits, crowns maintain optimal function and appearance for 10-15 years.
Do you offer same-day crown technology?
We provide advanced same-day crown technology using digital impressions and in-office milling for immediate crown fabrication. This CEREC technology eliminates temporary crowns and reduces treatment time to a single appointment while maintaining the precision and quality of traditional crown procedures.
