When a crown can be the right restoration

A crown is a custom-made cap that covers a tooth to help restore its normal shape and size. It can strengthen a tooth with a large filling, protect a weak or broken tooth, cover a discolored or unusually shaped tooth, or serve as part of a bridge or dental implant restoration.

Our doctors review the amount and condition of remaining tooth structure, the health of the surrounding tissues, your bite, and what you want your smile to look and feel like. They will recommend a crown or another restoration based on those findings and your goals.

  • Support for teeth weakened by decay, fracture, wear, or a large existing filling
  • Restoration for a tooth that has already broken
  • A possible component of bridge or implant restoration, based on your treatment plan

A carefully planned, comfortable experience

Your visit begins with an evaluation and conversation about the tooth, your bite, and your goals. We explain the available options and what to expect so you can make an informed decision. A crown is designed to work comfortably with the rest of your bite and complement your smile, with attention to shape, shade, contours, and function.

Questions, answered clearly

Good questions are welcome.

Does every damaged tooth need a crown?

No. The best restoration depends on the tooth's remaining structure, its health, your bite, and other clinical findings. Our doctors will examine the tooth before recommending a crown or an alternative.

Can a crown look natural?

A crown can be designed to complement the surrounding teeth in shape and shade. Your doctor can discuss realistic options for your tooth and smile during an evaluation.
