Dental Crowns — Protecting & Restoring Your Smile

What Are Dental Crowns?

A dental crown is a custom-made “cap” that covers a damaged or weakened tooth. Crowns restore strength, shape, function, and appearance, while protecting the remaining tooth structure. They are a reliable solution when a filling alone isn’t enough.

Our Dental Crown Process

  1. Consultation & Exam
    We assess your tooth and recommend whether a crown is the best option.

  2. Tooth Preparation
    The tooth is shaped, and impressions are taken to ensure a precise fit.

  3. Temporary Crown
    A temporary crown protects your tooth while your custom crown is being fabricated.

  4. Final Placement
    Once ready, your permanent crown is bonded in place, adjusted for comfort and function.
