A crown covers and supports a tooth that needs more protection than a filling can provide. We plan each restoration with attention to comfort, function, and appearance.
When a crown is considered
A tooth with substantial damage, a large restoration, or root canal treatment may benefit from a crown. Your dentist will examine the tooth and explain the available options.
What appointments involve
The tooth is prepared and a temporary crown may be placed while the final restoration is made. At the next visit, we check the fit, appearance, and bite before securing the crown.
Caring for a crowned tooth
The tooth and gums around a crown still need daily care. Regular checkups help us monitor the restoration and identify changes early.
Your care is individual. An examination helps us explain the options, benefits, and considerations that apply to you.
