What Is a Dental Crown?

A crown is a custom-made cap that fits over a damaged tooth, protecting it from further wear and restoring its function. Crowns are often recommended after a large filling is no longer enough to support a tooth, following root canal treatment, or to protect a cracked tooth from breaking further.

Benefits of a Dental Crown

  • Restores strength to a tooth that can no longer support a filling
  • Protects a weakened or cracked tooth from further damage
  • Is custom-shaped and shaded to blend with your surrounding teeth
  • Can support a dental bridge when replacing a missing tooth

The Crown Process

  1. Dr. Nalwala prepares the tooth and takes a digital scan with our Medit scanner
  2. A custom crown is fabricated to match your bite and the shade of your smile
  3. A temporary crown protects the tooth while your permanent crown is made
  4. At your follow-up visit, the permanent crown is fitted and secured
