Full Protection for a Compromised Tooth

A dental crown is a cap that is placed over a damaged or weakened tooth, covering it entirely from the gumline up. Its purpose is to provide strength, support, and protection to the underlying tooth structure while restoring its original shape and appearance. A well-placed crown allows you to bite, chew, and speak normally — and with today’s tooth-colored materials, it will look completely natural alongside your other teeth.

At Restore Dental Aesthetics, we recommend crowns when a tooth has been significantly compromised and a filling alone would not provide enough support. If you have a cracked tooth, severe decay, or a tooth that has recently undergone root canal treatment, a crown is often the most reliable way to preserve it for the long term.

Common reasons a dental crown may be recommended:

A tooth has extensive decay that cannot be fully restored with a filling
A tooth has cracked or fractured and needs full coverage to prevent it from splitting further
Root canal treatment has been completed and the tooth needs to be capped and protected
An old metal crown or large filling needs to be replaced with a more durable and aesthetic option
A dental implant needs a crown placed on top to complete the tooth replacement

Why Choose This Service

What the Crown Procedure Looks Like

Getting a crown typically takes two appointments. At the first visit, we examine the tooth, prepare it by removing any decay and reshaping it to fit the crown, and take a precise impression or digital scan. A temporary crown is placed to protect the tooth while your permanent restoration is being custom-fabricated at the dental lab.

At the second appointment, the temporary crown is removed and the permanent one is tried in for fit, color, and bite. Once everything looks and feels right, it is bonded securely in place. Our team makes any final adjustments to ensure your bite is comfortable and the crown sits perfectly against the surrounding gum tissue.

We use tooth-colored ceramic and zirconia for our crowns, which are both strong enough to handle the forces of daily chewing and natural-looking enough that most people will not be able to tell the difference. With proper care, a well-placed crown can last 15 years or longer.

What to expect after crown placement:

Some sensitivity around the tooth and gum is normal for a few days and typically resolves quickly
Avoid very hard or sticky foods for the first 24 hours after the permanent crown is placed
If the bite feels uneven or uncomfortable after a few days, call us so we can make a simple adjustment
Brush and floss around the crown just as you would a natural tooth to keep the margins clean

Tips

How to Care for a Dental Crown

Crowns are durable, but they are not indestructible. A few simple habits will help yours last as long as possible:

Brush twice a day and floss daily, paying special attention to the gumline around the crown where plaque can build up.
Avoid biting into ice, hard candy, or other very hard foods that could chip or crack the ceramic.
If you grind your teeth at night, wearing a custom night guard is one of the most important things you can do to protect your crown.
Do not use your crowned tooth to bite fingernails, open packaging, or do anything your teeth were not designed for.
Come in for regular checkups so we can monitor the crown, check the margins, and catch any early wear before it becomes a problem.
