Dental Crowns
Our goal is to provide dentistry that is natural and virtually undetectable. We can create restorations that look and feel like your natural teeth.
When damage to a person’s tooth is more extensive, we can use tooth colored ceramic crowns to make the tooth and smile as a whole appear “as new” or better. This is an extremely reliable and common technique for repairing many dental problems. We ensure a superior level of work using the highest quality materials and advanced technology. These treatments are used for a long-lasting correction of major dental problems.
How long does it take to fit a dental crown?
Creating a crown typically requires two visits to our office. Initially, we will remove any decay and damage, shape the tooth, and fit it with a temporary crown of a plastic-like material.
On the second visit, we will remove the temporary crown and then fit and adjust the final crown. Finally, we will permanently cement the crown into place and you will have a new beautiful looking tooth.

What are the capabilities of crowns?
Crowns are a very reliable solution for some major dental problems caused through accidents, diseases or wear and tear. Major problems can usually be corrected using these techniques. Material used in these repairs is most commonly a high-grade ceramic. A higher strength of the porcelain and gold materials is recommended to treat the most serious of dental problems. Where accidental damage has occurred, resulting in lost teeth, or where teeth have broken away through excessive wear, or as the result of old fillings breaking, dental crowns and/or dental bridges can be used as a long-term solution.
Many people have unexplained pain from filled back teeth, which is usually due to hairline cracks in the chewing part of the tooth. Placing crowns on these teeth relieves the pain and allows a return of full dental function for these teeth. In front teeth, older fillings can both weaken the teeth and cause “appearance” problems due to staining or chipping. High-strength ceramic crowns and bridges are suitable in cases where porcelain veneers are not. In teeth with root canal fillings, crowns increase the longevity and helps prevent tooth fracture.
