Dental crowns are custom restorations designed to cover and protect a tooth that has been weakened, damaged, or significantly affected by decay.
Understanding your care
A dental crown covers the visible portion of a tooth above the gumline. It may be recommended when a tooth needs more support than a filling can provide, while still allowing the natural tooth to remain in place.
Crowns can help restore function after significant decay, a crack, damage, or a large previous restoration. They may also protect a tooth following endodontic treatment when appropriate.
Personalized guidance
Thoughtful treatment
Your visit
We begin by examining the tooth and discussing why a crown may be recommended. Your plan will account for the condition of the tooth and the role it plays in your bite.
Once your crown is in place, we will explain how to care for it as part of your regular oral-hygiene routine and dental visits.
More to know
A crown benefits from the same consistent brushing, flossing, and professional care as your natural teeth. Let us know if you notice changes in comfort, bite, or the surrounding gum tissue.
Questions, answered
A crown may be considered when a tooth needs more coverage or support than a filling can provide.
A crown may be recommended after endodontic treatment when the tooth needs added protection, but the restoration is chosen case by case.
Your recommendation is based on an individual evaluation, your oral health, and the questions or goals you bring to the visit.
