Dental Crowns

What It Is

A dental crown is a custom-made cap that fits over a damaged, weakened, or heavily restored tooth to protect it and restore its shape, strength, and appearance. Crowns are commonly used after a root canal, on a tooth with a large filling, or on a tooth that's cracked or worn down. They can also be used to anchor a bridge or sit on top of a dental implant.

What to Expect at Your Visit

At the first visit, the tooth is prepared by removing any damaged structure and shaping it to receive the crown; a scan or impression is then taken to design a custom fit. A temporary crown is placed while the permanent one is made, and at a follow-up visit the final crown is checked for fit and bite before being permanently bonded in place.
