What to Know
What exactly is a dental crown?
A crown is a custom cap that covers a damaged or weakened tooth. It restores strength, protects against further decay, and looks just like your natural teeth. Crowns are one of the most reliable ways to save a tooth that's cracked, worn, or heavily filled.
When You Need One
Cracks, large cavities, root canals, or worn teeth often require crowns.
What to Expect
Two visits: one to prep and scan, one to place your custom crown.
When to Act
Signs that a dental crown may be recommended
Pain often signals a crack or weakened structure. If the tooth can be saved, a crown stabilizes it and eliminates discomfort by preventing flexing under bite pressure.
When a piece of your tooth breaks away, a filling often isn't enough. A crown covers the entire chewing surface, restoring strength and preventing further damage.
Grinding, acid erosion, or age can wear teeth thin. A crown rebuilds the tooth's shape and height, restoring proper bite alignment and protecting what remains underneath.
A stronger fix without a full crown
Onlay restorations are a conservative alternative to full dental crowns. They protect the tooth and restore chewing strength while preserving more healthy structure.
Less removal, more protection
A measured approach when you don't need full coverage.
Not everyone qualifies. The right option depends on tooth strength, bite, and the type of damage — so diagnosis matters.
Onlays reinforces the tooth's top surface, helping reduce flexing and further breakdown over time.
Material options that last
Bonded ceramic or traditional gold, chosen based on function and fit.

Care & Longevity
Keeping your crown healthy
With proper care, crowns stay strong for years. Simple habits keep them sealed and secure.
01
Brush and floss around the crown daily
Clean where the crown meets the gumline to prevent cavities and gum disease from forming.
02
Be mindful of sticky foods
Limiting sticky foods helps keep the seal intact and the crown firmly in place.
03
Address sensitivity or looseness quickly
Early attention prevents small issues from becoming crown failures that need replacement.
04
Maintain consistent dental visits
Regular exams let us monitor your crown's condition, check the seal, and catch wear before failure.

Common Questions Here's what patients
Here's what patients
want to know most
With good care, 15-20 years is typical. Many crowns last much longer. Regular visits and careful hygiene around the crown make the biggest difference.
Not during the procedure — we use local anesthesia. Some sensitivity is normal for a few days after. Most patients describe the experience as straightforward and comfortable.
Depends on the tooth and your priorities. Ceramic matches natural tooth color best. Gold is strongest. Zirconia balances both. We explain options at your consult.
Yes. If a crown fails or wears out, it can be replaced. Early signs — sensitivity, looseness, gum irritation — warrant a check before larger problems develop.
