What is a Dental Crown?

A dental crown is a tooth-shaped “cap” that fits over a damaged or weakened tooth. It restores the tooth’s shape, size, strength, and appearance. Crowns fully encase the visible portion of the tooth above the gum line and are custom-made to match your natural teeth in color and shape.

Dental crowns are ideal when:

A tooth is severely decayed or fractured
A large filling has compromised structural integrity
You’ve had root canal therapy
You need to restore a broken tooth or cover a dental implant
You want to enhance the appearance of a tooth cosmetically

Benefits of Dental Crowns

Restores chewing function
Protects weakened or cracked teeth
Enhances the appearance of discolored or misshapen teeth
Long-lasting durability (often 10–15 years or more)
Improves speech and overall bite alignment
Blends naturally with your existing teeth

Types of Dental Crowns We Offer

Depending on your needs and budget, we provide various crown materials:

Porcelain Crowns

Porcelain crowns are an excellent choice for restoring front teeth due to their lifelike appearance and ability to mimic the natural translucency of enamel. They are custom-crafted to match the color, shape, and size of your existing teeth, resulting in a seamless and aesthetically pleasing smile. These crowns are metal-free, making them ideal for patients with metal sensitivities or those seeking a fully cosmetic restoration. With proper care, porcelain crowns can last many years while maintaining their beauty and functionality.

Zirconia Crowns

Zirconia crowns are renowned for their exceptional strength and long-term durability, making them ideal for restoring molars and other high-pressure chewing areas. Made from a solid ceramic material, these crowns are highly resistant to cracking or chipping. They’re also biocompatible, which is safe for patients with metal allergies. In addition to their durability, zirconia crowns can be shaded to match natural teeth, providing both strength and aesthetics. They’re excellent for patients who grind their teeth or need extra reinforcement.

Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM) Crowns

Porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns combine the strength of a metal substructure with the aesthetic appeal of porcelain. The metal base provides excellent durability and support, especially for back teeth, while the porcelain coating allows the crown to blend with natural teeth. These crowns are a reliable choice for both functional and cosmetic restorations. However, in some cases, the underlying metal may show slightly at the gum line over time. Despite that, PFM crowns remain a cost-effective and versatile option for many patients.

Gold Crowns

Gold crowns have been used in dentistry for decades due to their superior strength, durability, and biocompatibility. They are especially well-suited for molars and premolars, where cosmetic concerns are minimal and strength is essential. Gold adapts well to natural tooth structure, causing less wear on opposing teeth and offering excellent longevity. Although they are not typically chosen for visible smile areas, gold crowns remain one of the most reliable restorative options, particularly for patients seeking long-term performance and minimal maintenance.

The Dental Crown Procedure at Pro Grace Dentistry

Here’s what to expect from your dental crown appointment:

Dental crowns are ideal when:

Step 1: Consultation and Examination: We begin with a thorough evaluation to determine if a crown is the best solution for your tooth. X-rays help us assess the tooth structure and the surrounding bone.
Step 2: Tooth Preparation: We numb the area, remove damaged or decayed tissue, and shape the tooth to accommodate the crown. An impression is then taken for the lab to custom-design your crown.
Step 3: Temporary Crown Placement: While your final crown is being made, we place a temporary crown to protect your tooth and maintain appearance and function.
Step 4: Final Crown Placement: Once your custom crown is ready (typically within 1–2 weeks), you’ll return to have it securely bonded. We ensure proper fit, bite, and color match before finalizing.
