Dental crowns are an essential dental restoration option that can enhance both the appearance and functionality of your teeth. A dental crown, sometimes called a dental cap, is a custom-made prosthetic that fits over a damaged or weakened tooth. Crafted from durable materials such as porcelain, ceramic, or metal alloys, dental crowns are designed to replicate the natural look and feel of your original tooth.

Strengthen and Restore Your Smile with Dental Crowns

Some reasons for receiving a dental crown can include protecting a tooth from extensive tooth decay, restoring a fractured tooth or placing over a dental implant or root canal. Dental crowns provide structural support preventing further damage, and improving your ability to bite and chew comfortably.

Our dentist and team prioritize precision and aesthetics when it comes to creating dental crowns. Dr. Cristina Anderson will conduct a thorough examination of your teeth, utilizing advanced technology to ensure an accurate fit and color match.

Two-Step Dental Crown Process for Lasting Protection

Receiving a dental crown usually takes two visits. During the first visit, any decay is removed from the original tooth before it is reshaped to accommodate the crown. Impressions are taken, which are then sent to our dental laboratory for crown fabrication. In the meantime, a temporary crown is placed to protect the tooth. On your second visit, the permanent crown is carefully fitted, adjusted and cemented in place.
