What are Dental Crowns?

Dental crowns are custom-crafted restorations designed to completely cover and protect a tooth that has been weakened, damaged, or cosmetically compromised. Acting like a protective cap, a crown restores the tooth’s original shape, size, and strength while improving its overall appearance. Each crown is precisely made to match the color, contour, and bite of your natural teeth, creating a seamless look and comfortable feel.

Crowns are often recommended for:

Strengthening a tooth weakened by decay, cracks, or large fillings
Restoring a tooth that is worn down or broken
Protecting a tooth following root canal therapy
Improving the look of discolored or misshapen teeth
Anchoring a dental bridge in place

At Plaza Dentistry, we use high-quality materials such as porcelain, ceramic, or porcelain fused to metal, selected for their durability and lifelike appearance. With proper care and regular checkups, dental crowns can last for many years, allowing you to smile, speak, and chew with confidence.

Who Needs a Dental Crown?

Dental crowns are a versatile solution for restoring both the function and appearance of your teeth. They are often recommended when a tooth is too damaged for a filling but still healthy enough to be preserved. Crowns provide the strength and protection needed to keep your tooth healthy while improving its appearance.

You may be a good candidate for a dental crown if you have:

A cracked or fractured tooth that needs reinforcement
Severe decay or a large filling that weakens the tooth
A tooth that has undergone root canal therapy
Significant wear from grinding or bite issues
A misshapen or severely discolored tooth
A need to anchor a dental bridge securely in place

By placing a custom crown, we can help you preserve your natural tooth structure while restoring your ability to smile and chew with confidence.

Treatment Process & What to Expect

Getting a dental crown at Plaza Dentistry typically takes two visits, though advanced techniques can sometimes shorten the process. During your first visit, we will examine the tooth, discuss your treatment options, and prepare it for the crown by reshaping it for a secure fit. Impressions are then taken to ensure your custom crown matches your bite and blends naturally with surrounding teeth. A temporary crown is placed to protect your tooth until your permanent crown is ready.

At your second visit, the temporary crown is removed, and your permanent crown is carefully fitted and bonded into place. We’ll make any necessary adjustments to ensure comfort and proper bite alignment, then polish the crown for a natural, smooth finish.

Cost & Payment Options

At Plaza Dentistry, we believe restoring your smile with a dental crown should be both high-quality and financially manageable. Many dental insurance plans cover a portion of the cost when crowns are needed for medical reasons, and our team will review your benefits in detail before treatment begins.
