Strengthen, Protect, and Perfect Your Smile

Whether you’re restoring a damaged tooth or completing a larger dental procedure like a root canal or implant, dental crowns offer a durable, natural-looking solution. At Pristine Dental and Orthodontics, we custom-craft each crown to match the color, shape, and contour of your natural teeth—so your restored smile looks and feels just right.

What Is a Dental Crown?

A dental crown is a custom-made cap that fits snugly over a damaged or weakened tooth. It restores the tooth’s original shape, protects it from further damage, and improves both its appearance and function. Crowns are also used to top dental implants or anchor dental bridges.

Common materials include porcelain, ceramic, zirconia, and porcelain-fused-to-metal—each selected based on your unique needs and location of the tooth in your mouth.

When Might You Need a Crown?

Crowns may be recommended if you:

• Have a cracked, chipped, or severely worn tooth
• Need to protect a tooth after a root canal
• Have a large cavity that can’t be restored with a filling
• Want to cover a misshaped or discolored tooth
• Are receiving a dental implant or bridge

We’ll help you decide if a crown is the right choice and walk you through all your restoration options.

The Crown Process: What to Expect

Step 1: Examination and Preparation

We begin with a detailed exam and digital imaging to assess the tooth. If a crown is recommended, the tooth is reshaped to make room for the restoration, and impressions are taken to create your custom crown.

Step 2: Temporary Crown Placement

While your permanent crown is being made at the lab, we place a temporary crown to protect your tooth and keep your smile functional.

Step 3: Final Crown Placement

At your follow-up appointment, your permanent crown is securely bonded in place. We’ll check for fit, function, and comfort—then polish it so it blends beautifully with your surrounding teeth.

Long-Lasting Results You Can Count On

With proper care, dental crowns can last 10–15 years or longer. To maintain your restoration, we recommend:

• Brushing and flossing daily
• Avoiding overly hard or sticky foods
• Wearing a nightguard if you clench or grind
• Scheduling regular dental checkups

Restore Strength, Confidence, and Comfort

If a damaged or weakened tooth is keeping you from smiling or eating with ease, a crown may be the ideal solution. At Pristine Dental and Orthodontics, we combine advanced materials with expert craftsmanship to deliver restorations that look great and last.
