Protect & Strengthen Teeth With Dental Crowns
A dental crown is essentially a cap placed over a damaged tooth. It covers the visible portion of the tooth to protect it from further damage and to improve its appearance. Crowns are typically made from materials like porcelain, ceramic or metal, and each option offers specific benefits. Porcelain crowns are particularly popular for their natural appearance, seamlessly blending in with your existing teeth.
With our in-house CAD/CAM technology, many crowns can be designed, milled and placed in a single appointment — eliminating the need for temporary crowns and multiple visits. Our prosthodontists carefully evaluate each case to recommend the ideal material and approach for long-lasting, comfortable results.

Frequently Asked Questions about Dental Crowns
How long do dental crowns last?+
Dental crowns last five to 15 years on average, and often longer. Porcelain and ceramic crowns typically last five to 15 years, while metal crowns can last even longer with good oral care.
Is the dental crown process painful?+
No, getting a dental crown is not painful. The tooth is numbed with local anesthesia during treatment, and any mild soreness afterward is usually managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
Can I eat normally with a temporary crown?+
Yes, you can eat with a temporary crown, but avoid sticky and hard foods that could dislodge it. Once your permanent crown is placed, you can return to your usual diet.
How do I care for a dental crown?+
Care for a dental crown like a natural tooth: brush twice daily, floss around the crown and keep routine dental visits. Avoiding hard or sticky foods helps the crown last longer.
