Dental crowns, or dental caps, are a type of restorative treatment recommended when your teeth have sustained damage or decay. A crown is designed to fit over the entire visible portion of the tooth in order to restore its original shape and size and protect it from further damage. Crowns may be made of several different materials, but the most popular type of dental crowns are made of porcelain, due to the fact that it matches the appearance and durability of your original tooth.

Our skilled dentist may recommend a dental crown to:

• Restore a tooth after it has sustained damage due to injury or tooth decay
• Protect a tooth after a root canal treatment
• Anchor a dental bridge
• Cap and complete a dental implant
• Strengthen a tooth that is cracked, fractured or weakened
• Support a tooth with a large filling
• Improve a misshapen tooth
• Enhance the appearance of your teeth and smile

At our office, we offer CEREC same-day crowns. These crowns require no impressions, since the scans are done digitally, and no temporaries, as one to three porcelain crowns can be fabricated in-house in one visit!
