What Are Dental Crowns?
The Benefits of Our Crown Treatment
Crowns offer several benefits, including:
- Protection: These tooth caps can protect teeth that are weak or damaged from further decay or fracture.
- Durability: This treatment lasts many years with proper care and maintenance.
- Aesthetics: Porcelain crowns look like natural teeth and can be color-matched to your existing teeth, making them virtually indistinguishable.
- Improved function: It restores the functionality of damaged or decayed teeth, allowing you to eat and speak with confidence.
Our Dental Crown Procedure
This treatment typically involves two appointments. During the initial appointment, the tooth is prepared by removing any decay and shaping it to fit the crown. Next, we will take impressions of your teeth to create a custom crown that fits perfectly. Finally, we will provide a temporary crown to protect your tooth while your permanent crown is made.
During the second appointment, we will remove the temporary crown and place the permanent crown onto your tooth. Then, again, we will check the fit and adjust the crown before permanently cementing it.
Aftercare For Dental Crowns
To ensure the longevity of this treatment, it is essential to practice good oral hygiene habits, including regular brushing and flossing. It is also necessary to avoid biting down on complex objects such as ice, popcorn kernels, or hard candy.

Frequently Asked Questions
When is a dental crown needed?
A dental crown is often needed when a tooth is cracked, weakened by decay, or has a large filling. Crowns also protect teeth after root canal treatment and help restore normal shape, strength, and function.
How long do dental crowns usually last?
Dental crowns can last 10–15 years or longer with good oral hygiene. Their lifespan depends on factors like material, bite forces, and habits such as teeth grinding or chewing hard foods.
What types of dental crowns are available?
Common crown materials include porcelain, ceramic, metal, and porcelain-fused-to-metal. Each option differs in durability, appearance, and cost, and the best choice depends on tooth location and individual needs.
Does getting a crown require multiple visits?
Traditional crowns typically require two visits—one to prepare the tooth and take impressions, and another to place the final crown. Some cases may allow same-day crowns using digital technology.
How should I care for a tooth with a crown?
Care for a crowned tooth the same way as natural teeth by brushing twice daily, flossing regularly, and attending routine dental checkups. Avoid chewing ice or hard objects that could damage the crown.
