When a tooth becomes worn, cracked, or weakened, a custom dental crown can restore its strength and appearance, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile comfortably again. At Midtown Dental, we provide high-quality, lab-crafted dental crowns made from durable, natural-looking materials that blend seamlessly with each smile. We work to protect your tooth for the long term while delivering results that look and feel completely natural.
What Is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown is a custom-made “cap” that fits over a damaged or compromised tooth. It restores proper shape, function, and appearance while protecting the natural tooth underneath.
You may benefit from a dental crown if you have:
- A tooth that is cracked, fractured, or severely worn
- Recently had a root canal
- A large filling that has weakened the tooth structure
- A misshapen or discolored tooth
- A dental implant or dental bridge treatment that needs sealing
Our Dental Crowns
At Midtown Dental, every crown is fabricated for a precise fit, comfortable bite, and natural appearance. We provide several crown materials to meet your functional and cosmetic needs, including:
- Porcelain Crowns. Beautiful, translucent, and ideal for restoring front teeth with a natural appearance.
- Ceramic Crowns. Strong, metal-free, and color-matched for both front and back teeth.
- Zirconia Crowns. Exceptionally durable and chip-resistant, zirconia crowns are an excellent choice for patients who clench or grind.
- Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM) Crowns. A metal base for strength with a tooth-colored porcelain exterior to balance durability and aesthetics.
Our team will help you choose the right option based on the tooth’s location, bite strength, and your cosmetic preferences.
What to Expect During Your Crown Appointment
Your dental crown treatment will begin with a comprehensive evaluation. We begin with a thorough exam, digital imaging, and a conversation about your goals to determine if a crown is the best solution.
The tooth is then carefully reshaped to make room for your crown. We then take precise digital or physical impressions to send to our dental lab, bond it securely in place, and make any final adjustments to ensure a comfortable fit and natural bite. You’ll leave our office with a same-day crown!
