Dental crowns
A dental crown is a protective cover placed over a tooth that no longer has enough structure to stay strong on its own. Crowns help restore comfort, prevent fractures, and protect teeth affected by large fillings, deep decay, cracks, or root canal treatment. We guide you through the process calmly and clearly so you understand the recommendation and feel supported at every step.
Why a crown might be needed
- Teeth with large fillings that no longer support everyday chewing
- Cracks that risk spreading
- Teeth that have undergone root canal therapy
- Worn or weakened areas that affect comfort or function
- Teeth needing reinforcement to prevent future fractures
What to expect
Your dentist begins with a careful assessment, reviewing your tooth, bite, and X-rays to confirm that a crown is the best option. The tooth is prepared, and a digital scan is taken using iTero or Trios. A temporary crown protects the tooth while the final crown is crafted. At your follow-up visit, the permanent crown is placed, adjusted, and bonded securely for long-term comfort.
