What Are Dental Crowns?

A dental crown is a custom-made “cap” placed over a damaged or weakened tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Crowns encase the entire visible portion of the tooth above the gumline, providing protection and reinforcement.

When Might You Need a Dental Crown?
Protect a weak tooth from breaking or hold together a cracked tooth
Restore a severely worn down or broken tooth
Cover and support a tooth with a large filling and not much tooth structure remaining
Hold a dental bridge in place
Cover misshapen or severely discolored teeth
Cover a dental implant
Protect a tooth that has undergone root canal treatment

Our Crown Materials

Porcelain or Ceramic Crowns

These provide the most natural appearance and are ideal for front teeth. The color is carefully matched to your existing teeth for a seamless result.

Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal Crowns

Combining strength and aesthetics, these crowns have a metal base for durability with a porcelain exterior that mimics natural tooth color.

Gold Alloy Crowns

Extremely durable and gentle on opposing teeth, gold crowns are an excellent option for back teeth where strength is paramount.

All-Resin Crowns

A more affordable option, though typically not as durable as other materials.

Zirconia Crowns

Combining exceptional strength with natural appearance, these modern crowns are becoming increasingly popular.

Why Choose Karen Dental Clinic for Your Dental Crown?

Our dentists combine technical precision with an artistic eye to create crowns that not only function perfectly but look completely natural. We use state-of-the-art technology and work with top dental laboratories to ensure the highest quality results.

Complete Protection and Restoration

Crowns fully encase damaged teeth, preventing further deterioration while restoring full functionality and strength, allowing you to eat and speak with confidence.

Long-lasting Durability

With proper care, crowns provide exceptional longevity, often lasting 15+ years, making them a cost-effective solution for severely damaged teeth.

Natural Aesthetics

Today’s crowns are virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth, with materials that mimic the translucency, color, and light-reflecting properties of tooth enamel, enhancing your smile’s appearance.

Our Three-Step Crown Treatment Process

From initial consultation to final placement, we’ve streamlined every step to make restoring your smile remarkably simple.

1
Assessment and Planning
We begin with a thorough examination of your tooth, discussing your needs and preferences for material options.
2
Preparation
We gently prepare your tooth by removing damaged areas and reshaping it to accommodate your crown.
3
Crown Placement and Verification
We'll carefully position the permanent crown. After checking for proper fit, bite alignment, and appearance, we permanently secure the crown with strong dental cement.

FAQs About The Service

There are many questions about the service, we have selected frequently asked questions about this service. If you do not see your answer, please contact us.

Does getting a crown hurt?
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, ensuring you feel no pain during the tooth preparation. Most patients report feeling only mild pressure during the process. After the anesthesia wears off, you might experience minor sensitivity for a few days, easily managed with over-the-counter pain relievers. Our gentle techniques and attention to your comfort make the experience much more pleasant than many anticipate.
How long does the crown process take?
The entire process typically requires two appointments spaced about 2 weeks apart. The first appointment (preparation and impressions) usually takes 60-90 minutes, while the final placement appointment takes approximately 30-45 minutes. We offer same-day crowns for certain situations, allowing the entire process to be completed in a single visit of about 2 hours.
Will my crown look fake or unnatural?
Not at all. Modern dental crowns, especially those made of porcelain or ceramic, are custom-crafted to match your natural teeth in color, shape, and translucency. Our skilled dental technicians use multiple shade layers and characterization techniques to create crowns that blend seamlessly with your smile. Many patients forget which tooth has the crown because it looks so natural.
Can I still get cavities with a crown?
While the crown itself cannot decay, the natural tooth structure underneath it remains susceptible to cavities, particularly at the margin where the crown meets the tooth. Maintaining excellent oral hygiene—brushing twice daily, flossing around the crown, and attending regular dental check-ups—will help prevent decay and ensure your crown lasts for many years.
