A dental crown is a custom-made cap that completely covers a damaged or weakened tooth, restoring its strength, shape, and appearance while blending naturally with your smile. At our practice, we offer several types of crowns, including highly aesthetic porcelain or ceramic options, durable zirconia crowns, and porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns for added strength in molars. Gold crowns are also available for specific cases where exceptional durability or minimal wear on opposing teeth is needed.

You may need a dental crown if you have a cracked, chipped, or weakened tooth, or if an old filling has left the tooth structurally compromised. Crowns are also commonly used after root canal therapy, to improve the appearance of discolored or misshaped teeth, or as part of an implant or dental bridge. In full-mouth rehabilitation cases, crowns play an essential role in restoring strength, function, and aesthetics across the entire smile.
