Book AppointmentWhat Are Dental Crowns?
A dental crown is a cap that covers the entire visible portion of a tooth above the gumline. Crowns are used to restore teeth that have been cracked, severely decayed, worn down, or treated with a root canal. They can also improve the shape or appearance of a misshapen or discolored tooth. Modern crowns are crafted from durable materials like porcelain or ceramic that mimic the look of natural enamel. Once placed, a crown functions just like your original tooth, allowing you to bite, chew, and smile without worry.
The Benefits of Dental Crowns
A well-crafted crown restores both function and confidence to your smile.
Protects Weakened Teeth
Crowns encase damaged teeth completely, preventing further breakage and extending the life of your natural tooth.
Restores Full Tooth Function
Once your crown is in place, you can eat and speak comfortably without favoring the affected tooth.
Natural Looking Appearance
Porcelain and ceramic crowns are color-matched to blend with your surrounding teeth for a seamless, attractive result.
Our Comprehensive Dental Crown Process
Tooth Preparation
Dr. Kim gently reshapes the tooth to create room for the crown, then takes precise digital impressions using our Itero 3D scanner.
Temporary Protection
While your permanent crown is being made, we place a temporary crown to protect your tooth and maintain your appearance.
Final Placement
Once your custom crown arrives, we check the fit and color carefully, make any needed adjustments, and bond it securely in place.
Is a Dental Crown Right for You?
A crown may be the right choice if you have a tooth that is too damaged for a filling but still has a healthy root worth saving. Crowns are also recommended after root canal therapy to protect the treated tooth from fracturing. If you have a cracked tooth, significant decay, or an old large filling that is failing, Dr. Kim can evaluate whether a crown will restore your tooth effectively. She will walk you through all your options so you can make an informed decision about your care.
