What Are Dental Crowns?

A dental crown is a custom-made restoration that fully covers a damaged or compromised tooth. It is designed to restore the tooth’s shape, size, strength, and appearance.

Crowns are typically made from durable materials such as porcelain or ceramic, allowing them to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth while providing long-lasting support.

Dental Crowns vs. Fillings

Both crowns and fillings restore teeth, but they are used in different situations.

Dental crowns:

  • Cover the entire tooth
  • Provide greater strength and protection
  • Used for more extensive damage

Fillings:

  • Restore smaller areas of decay
  • Require less tooth structure removal
  • Suitable for minor repairs

We’ll recommend the best option based on your needs.

How Long Do Dental Crowns Last?

 

With proper care, dental crowns can last 10–15 years or longer. Good oral hygiene and regular dental visits are essential to maintaining their longevity.
