What Is a Dental Crown and Why Do You Need One?

A dental crown is a synthetic cap that is placed over a damaged or decayed tooth to restore its original shape, size, and function. Crowns are often made from durable materials like porcelain, metal, or a combination of both, ensuring long-lasting results. They are used to address a variety of dental issues, such as:

  • Restoring teeth that have undergone a root canal
  • Covering a severely decayed tooth that has been reduced in size
  • Restoring teeth with large fillings that may be at risk of breaking
  • Protecting a cracked or weakened tooth from further damage
  • Enhancing the appearance of discolored or misshapen teeth

In many cases, crowns are also used to secure dental bridges or cover dental implants, providing a more permanent solution for missing or damaged teeth.

Enjoy Your Restored Smile

Once your crown is placed, your tooth will be fully restored—ready to function comfortably and look just like a natural part of your smile.

Caring for Your Crown

Once your crown is in place, it is essential to take good care of it to ensure it lasts for many years. With proper care, a well-made crown can last for up to eight years or even longer.
We recommend flossing gently around the crown to avoid plaque buildup and food debris that can cause decay. Avoid habits like grinding your teeth (bruxism) or jaw clenching, which can put excessive pressure on the crown and shorten its lifespan. Steer clear of hard or sticky foods, such as ice, hard candy, or sticky candies, which can damage the crown or compromise its adhesion.
Finally, schedule regular checkups with Dr. Marc or Jessica Henner to ensure that the crown remains in good condition and that your overall dental health is on track.
