Dental
crowns.
A dental crown covers a tooth to restore its form and function. The right restoration depends on how much healthy tooth remains and your dentist's evaluation.
Talk through restoration choices with your dentist.
How a crown protects a tooth
A crown fits over a prepared tooth. It may be recommended when a tooth is broken, weakened by a large filling, or needs protection after root canal treatment. Crowns can also be part of implant or bridge restorations.
After root canal
Some treated teeth benefit from a crown to reduce the risk of fracture.
Bridge or implant
Crowns may help anchor a bridge or restore an implant.
A crown fell off?
Keep it safe and call an office. Do not use household glue. A dentist can evaluate the tooth and whether the crown can be reattached or needs replacement.
From exam to final fit
The exact sequence varies by office, material, and treatment plan.

When a crown makes sense
The goal is to choose a treatment that fits the condition of the tooth. A dentist will examine the tooth and discuss whether a crown, filling, onlay, or another approach makes sense. Material, cost, and timing depend on the case.

Dental crown questions
Answers to help you prepare for your visit.
What is a dental crown?
A crown covers a tooth to restore its shape, support, and appearance. It may be recommended for a weakened or broken tooth, after some root canal treatments, or as the replacement tooth on an implant.
How is a crown different from a filling?
A filling repairs part of a tooth, while a crown covers the tooth more fully. The amount and location of damage help determine which restoration is appropriate.
How many visits are needed for a crown?
Ask your office about the process for your case. Preparation, a temporary restoration, and fitting the final crown may involve separate stages. Do not assume a same-day crown until it is confirmed.
Will the crown look like my other teeth?
Your dentist can discuss materials, color, shape, and the position of the tooth. Explain your preferences and ask what result is realistic for your restoration.
How long does a crown last?
Crowns need maintenance and may eventually need repair or replacement. Your oral health, daily care, and bite all matter. Ask the dentist how to care for your crown.
What if my crown feels loose or my bite feels wrong?
Contact the office for an assessment. Tell the team whether you have pain, sensitivity, a loose crown, or a bite that feels different.
Does insurance cover dental crowns?
Coverage depends on your plan, eligibility, and the reason for treatment. Request an estimate and ask about approval requirements, out-of-pocket costs, and payment options.
How do I schedule a crown consultation?
Choose an office below and arrange an examination. The dentist can assess the tooth and explain the recommended restoration.
