What Is a Dental Crown?

A dental crown is a tooth-shaped covering that’s cemented over your damaged tooth to improve its appearance and allow you to continue using it normally. It can be made from different materials, such as gold, porcelain, EMAX, zirconia, or porcelain-fused-to-metal, based on your unique circumstances. Ceramic options continue to gain popularity because they can be customized to match the size, shape, and tone of your enamel, blending beautifully into your smile and boosting your confidence.

Dental crowns are usually not intended to be removed once they’re placed and can often last 5 to 15+ years with proper care. They are also incredibly versatile and can be used to:

  • Protect a tooth that recently underwent a root canal.
  • Shield chipped, cracked, broken, or decayed teeth from additional injuries or disease.
  • Cap a dental implant or anchor a dental bridge to replace one or more missing teeth.
  • Restore a shortened or worn-down tooth.

The Dental Crown Process

First, contact our office to schedule an appointment so we can examine the affected tooth and develop a customized treatment plan. If we determine a dental crown is right for you, we'll numb your mouth, then gently clean your tooth, smooth any rough edges, and remove a small amount of enamel so it fits and functions correctly.

Then, we’ll make mess-free digital impressions of your mouth that are sent to a dental laboratory to craft your one-of-a-kind prosthetic. It can take a couple of weeks to arrive, so we will likely recommend placing a temporary crown to protect your smile while you wait. Once the finished product arrives, we’ll contact you for another appointment to check the fit, make any necessary adjustments, and cement it in place.
