Dental crowns are essentially a tooth-shaped “cap” that’s placed over a damaged tooth, acting as a helmet for your tooth. Crowns are designed to restore the tooth’s shape, size, strength, and appearance. Once cemented into place, the crown fully encases the entire visible portion of a tooth that lies at and above the gum line.

Crowns are created to match the color, height, texture, and overall appearance of your teeth. Most crowns will last for life, eliminating the need to replace them unless they fall out or become loose. You can prolong the durability of your crowns by practicing good oral hygiene and visiting your dentist for regular check-ups and cleanings. Our doctors take pride in the result we are able to achieve, so if you need a crown, call us today and see that we are the best at what we do!
