What Are Dental Crowns?
A dental crown is a custom-fitted cap placed over a damaged tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Crowns are often recommended when a tooth can’t be restored with a filling alone but isn’t damaged enough to require extraction.
At The Smile Center, we use crowns for a variety of purposes:
- To protect cracked or fractured teeth
- To restore a worn or broken tooth
- After root canal treatment for structural support
- To cover a large filling
- To improve aesthetics of discolored or misshapen teeth
- As part of a dental implant or dental bridge restoration
Types of Dental Crowns We Offer
We tailor each crown to meet the patient’s functional needs and cosmetic goals. Our options include:
Ceramic Crowns
Crafted entirely from tooth-colored ceramic, these crowns offer superior aesthetics, making them an ideal choice for front teeth. They closely mimic the translucency of natural enamel and are metal-free for biocompatibility.
Porcelain Crowns
Porcelain crowns combine strength and beauty. They can be layered over a metal or zirconia base or made fully of porcelain. These crowns are highly durable and often used for both front and back teeth that require enhanced strength with lifelike appearance.
Your dentist will help you choose the crown type best suited for your case, depending on location in the mouth, bite pressure, and cosmetic preferences.
All procedures are performed by Dr. Frederick L. Jones, Jr., along with Dr. Brandie White-Ates and Dr. Gage Gregory — each offering extensive experience in restorative and cosmetic dentistry.
The Dental Crown Procedure
Getting a crown typically involves two visits:
- Tooth Preparation
We first remove any decay and shape the tooth for the crown. Then, we take digital impressions and place a temporary crown to protect your tooth while your final crown is crafted. - Final Crown Placement
Once your custom crown is ready, we remove the temporary one and cement the permanent crown into place. We check the fit, bite, and aesthetics to ensure everything looks and feels perfect.
Crowns are often combined with other services like inlays and onlays or part of a comprehensive smile makeover plan.
Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Crowns
How long do dental crowns last?
With proper oral hygiene and regular checkups, crowns can last 10–15 years or longer. Materials like ceramic and porcelain are designed for long-term durability and wear resistance.
Will a crown look natural?
Yes. Our crowns are custom-shaded and shaped to blend perfectly with your surrounding teeth. Most people won’t even notice you have one.
Is the procedure painful?
No. We use local anesthesia to ensure comfort during the procedure. You may experience mild soreness after preparation, but it typically resolves within a day or two.
What’s the difference between ceramic and porcelain crowns?
Ceramic crowns are made entirely from a single material and are ideal for highly visible areas. Porcelain crowns may be layered over a base material, offering additional strength for molars or high-stress areas.
Can a crown be used after a root canal?
Absolutely. A crown is often placed after a root canal procedure to protect the weakened tooth and restore full function.
