Whether you’re dealing with a cracked tooth, severe decay, or a large filling that needs reinforcement, dental crowns provide a durable and aesthetically pleasing option.
What is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown is a cap that covers the entire surface of a tooth, restoring its shape, size, strength, and appearance.
1. Crowns are typically used when a tooth is significantly damaged and cannot be effectively repaired with a simple filling, such as a broken or decayed tooth.
2. They provide a protective layer that helps to prevent further damage and ensures the tooth can continue to function normally.
When is a Crown Used?
Dental crowns are used in a variety of situations, including:
- Protecting and supporting a cracked tooth
- Restoring a worn-down or broken tooth
- Strengthening a weak tooth
- Anchoring a dental bridge
- Covering severely stained or discolored teeth
- Protecting a tooth after a root canal
- Covering a dental implant
Benefits of Dental Crowns
Opting for dental crowns at Smile Envy Dental & Orthodontics provides several benefits:
Durability

Preventing Further Damage

The Crown Placement Process
The crown placement process typically requires two visits:
First Visit
The tooth is prepared by removing any decay and shaping it for the crown. Impressions are taken, and a temporary crown may be placed while the permanent one is crafted.
Second Visit
The permanent crown is placed and adjusted for optimal fit, comfort, and function.
