Dental Crown

A crown caps a damaged or heavily filled tooth, restoring its strength and shape.

When you need one

Crowns are typically recommended after a root canal, for a tooth with a large filling that's weakened the remaining structure, or to protect a cracked tooth from breaking further.

What's involved

  • The tooth is reshaped to make room for the crown
  • An impression or digital scan is taken
  • A custom crown is fitted — same-day with CEREC, or over two visits with a lab-made crown
How long does a crown last?

With good care, 10–15 years is typical, and many last much longer.

Will it look natural?

Yes — modern ceramic crowns are shade-matched and shaped to blend in with your bite.
