Dental Crowns

Stronger Smiles, Beautifully Crafted

Dental crowns are custom-fitted protective coverings placed over a tooth that is damaged, decayed, or aesthetically lacking. Crowns are made to look like natural teeth. They are designed to fully encase the visible portion of the tooth that sits above the gum line, restoring its shape, size, strength, and appearance.

Crowns are often recommended when a tooth has sustained significant damage or has had a root canal, or to cover dental implants. We generally make crowns for patients when the extent of decay or damage exceeds what a filling can repair.
