Crowns That Restore and Blend Right In
What a dental crown does
A crown is a custom cap that covers a tooth that is cracked, worn, weak, or heavily filled, restoring its strength and shape. It protects the tooth underneath while looking and functioning like a natural tooth.
A cosmetic eye on every crown
Even a back-tooth crown deserves to look right, and matching a crown to your natural teeth is exactly the kind of detail we care about. We match color, shape, and proportion so your crown blends right in.
Comfortable, careful treatment
We take the time to make sure your crown fits your bite comfortably and looks natural before we consider it finished. You are involved and informed at every step.
When do I need a crown instead of a filling?
A crown is usually recommended when a tooth is too damaged or weak for a filling to hold. We explain why a crown is the right choice for your specific tooth.
Will my crown match my other teeth?
Yes. We match the color and shape to your natural teeth so it blends in and looks like your own.
How long do crowns last?
With good care, crowns can last many years. We show you how to care for yours to help it last as long as possible.
Do you offer same-day crowns?
We craft your crown with attention to detail and our dental lab, which is a separate step from same-day milling. We will walk you through the timeline for your crown.
