What Are Dental Crowns?

A dental crown, also known as a “cap”, is a custom restoration that completely covers a damaged tooth. It reinforces weak enamel, restores natural shape and bite alignment, and protects against future damage. Crowns are commonly used when:

• A tooth has a large cavity or a broken filling

• You’ve had a root canal and need reinforcement

• A cracked or fractured tooth needs protection

• A dental implant needs a functional top piece

• You want to improve the cosmetic appearance

At Veda Family Dentistry, we use advanced techniques and materials to ensure a perfect fit and natural look.

Types of Crowns We Offer

We provide several material options to match your needs and smile goals:

Porcelain Crowns

Highly aesthetic and color-matched to your surrounding teeth. Great for front teeth.

Zirconia Crowns

Extremely strong and durable, ideal for molars and high-stress chewing areas.

Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM)

Combines the aesthetics of porcelain with the strength of a metal core.

Gold Crowns

Durable and long-lasting, especially for patients with heavy grinding habits.

We’ll help you choose the right crown based on function, location, and your personal preferences.

The Dental Crown Process

Here’s what to expect:

Step 1: Exam & Preparation
We begin with a digital scan and X-rays. After numbing, we reshape the tooth and take impressions.

Step 2: Temporary Crown Placement
You’ll receive a temporary crown to protect your tooth while the permanent version is custom-made.

Step 3: Final Placement
In your second visit, we securely bond your new crown, fine-tune your bite, and polish for a seamless result.

In select cases, we also offer same-day crowns using CAD/CAM technology.

Benefits of Dental Crowns

• Protect weakened or damaged teeth

• Restore function and chewing power

• Improve shape, alignment, and appearance

• Blend seamlessly with your natural teeth

• Prevent the need for extraction

With proper care, your crown can last 10–20 years or more.

Post-Procedure Care and Maintenance

Caring for your crown is simple. Brush and floss daily, avoid chewing ice or hard candies, and wear a nightguard if you grind your teeth. Attend regular dental visits so we can monitor your restoration’s integrity and surrounding gum health.
