Damaged and missing teeth can have a big impact on your dental health and how you feel about your smile. If a tooth is in bad shape, a dental crown can be a helpful solution. A crown is like a custom cap made to fit over a tooth, covering the part you can see. Your dentist might suggest getting a crown if:
Strengthen and protect a tooth if extensive decay hasn’t left enough healthy tooth structure for a traditional filling
Protect a cracked, broken, or brittle tooth from further damage
Restore and reinforce a tooth after a root canal procedure
Cover a deeply discolored or irregularly shaped tooth
Complete a dental implant procedure
Serve as an anchor for a dental bridge
To start the process, we create an impression or a computer model of the tooth we’re working on. Then, we place a temporary crown made of a special type of resin to protect the tooth until the final crown is ready. The new crown is custom-made to ensure it feels just right, matches your other teeth, and doesn’t cause any issues with your bite or jaw movement.
During a follow-up appointment, the dentist carefully checks and adjusts the final crown to ensure it fits perfectly on the tooth. Once it’s just right, the crown is firmly attached using a specific dental adhesive.

These crowns are made from a mix of gold, platinum, or other metals, making them super durable. They’re commonly picked for molars at the back of your mouth, where they aren’t easily seen
These crowns, which come in a variety of shades to match your natural teeth, offer a very natural appearance. They are especially recommended for front teeth and can be used by individuals with metal sensitivities.
These crowns feature a layer of porcelain covering a metal core. Designed to blend in with the color of your natural teeth, these crowns offer a lifelike appearance, though they may not be as see-through as fully porcelain crowns.
These crowns, made from stainless steel, are commonly used for children’s baby teeth. They are a strong and budget-friendly choice if a crown is required for a primary tooth.
These crowns are created using resin that blends with your tooth color, providing a cost-effective alternative to porcelain or metal. However, they are generally considered suitable for temporary use due to their relatively lower durability when compared to other crown choices.
Crowns are among the best options for improving both the look and function of a tooth. Consider discussing with your dentist how getting a crown can help your smile become healthier and more attractive.
