A dental crown is a type of restoration that is designed to fit over a damaged or compromised tooth. If a tooth has fractured, broken or has recently undergone a root canal, we may recommend that it be crowned. Crowns both protect the tooth from further damage as well as improve its size and shape. You can expect the restoration to last for many years before it’ll need to be replaced.
There are a couple of reasons why you might benefit from a new dental crown. The most common reason is because a tooth has cracked, fractured or broken. You might need a crown if you recently underwent a root canal, which can leave the tooth more prone to breaking. If a tooth has a large filling in it or a deep area of decay, we might recommend simply crowning it to protect and restore it.
Arun K. Garg, DMD will perform a thorough exam to determine whether a crown is the best option for restoring your tooth. If a crown is needed, it’s important to move forward promptly to prevent further damage. Crowns can be used to restore nearly any tooth in the mouth, offering strength, protection, and a natural appearance. If you already have an older crown that needs replacement, we make the process simple and convenient in-office—on your schedule.
The dental crown process begins by numbing the area with a local anesthetic to ensure your comfort. Once the tooth is fully numbed, it’s gently reshaped to create the ideal space for your new crown.
Next, precise impressions are taken to craft a custom crown that fits perfectly and matches your natural teeth. You’ll receive a temporary crown to protect the tooth while your permanent one is being made.
At your follow-up visit, the final crown is securely placed and adjusted for comfort and function. With proper care, your new crown can last for many years—restoring strength, appearance, and confidence to your smile.
