A crown covers the entire visible portion of a tooth, restoring its shape, size, strength, and appearance. It's often the right call for a tooth weakened by a large filling, a crack, heavy wear, or a completed root canal — protecting what's left of the natural tooth rather than replacing it.
Book a Consultation
Crowns are custom-made for your bite and shade-matched to the teeth around them.
You may be a good candidate if any of the following sound familiar. A consultation will confirm what's right for your specific case.
Before recommending crowns, we start with a full evaluation of your teeth and goals, so the plan fits your case rather than a standard script.
Your plan accounts for your timeline, comfort, and priorities, and is walked through with you before any treatment begins.
We take the time to explain each step and answer questions as they come up, rather than rushing through the appointment.
Aftercare and follow-up are part of the plan from the start, not an afterthought once treatment is finished.
Once fitted, a crown is shaped and shade-matched to feel and look like the rest of your bite.
Typically two visits — one to prepare the tooth and take impressions, and one to place the finished crown.
Yes — crowns are commonly used to complete an implant, giving it the visible, functional part of the tooth.
With good care, a crown often lasts a decade or more, though it depends on materials used and how the tooth is used day to day.
Fillings suit smaller areas of decay; crowns are typically needed once a tooth has lost significant structure or strength. Your exam will determine which applies.
