Dental Crowns
Reinforce, Restore, and Renew Your Smile
Whether you're dealing with a cracked, decayed, or weakened tooth, a dental crown offers long-term strength, protection, and natural-looking beauty. At Veda Family Dentistry, we use high-quality materials and advanced techniques to restore your tooth and your confidence.
Why Choose a Dental Crown?
Crowns are a trusted restorative option for saving teeth compromised by decay, fracture, or root canal treatment. By completely covering the tooth, a crown reinforces its structure and brings back full function and appearance. Our goal is always to preserve natural teeth whenever possible, and crowns help us do just that, comfortably and beautifully.
Types of Crowns We Offer
Porcelain Crowns: Perfect for visible front teeth. These all-ceramic crowns mimic natural enamel and are biocompatible, offering cosmetic benefits while blending in seamlessly.
Zirconia Crowns: Strong and durable, ideal for back teeth and patients with strong bite force. Zirconia resists fracture while offering solid aesthetics.
Gold/Metal Alloy Crowns: Best for molars, grinders, or patients who value longevity. These require minimal preparation and can last 15–30 years with proper care.
What to Expect: The Crown Process
First Visit – Evaluation & Prep:
We begin with digital imaging and an exam. Your dentist reshapes the tooth and captures precise scans or impressions. A temporary crown is placed while your permanent one is crafted.Second Visit – Placement:
We remove the temporary crown and permanently bond your custom crown using strong dental cement. Bite and comfort are checked and adjusted for long-term wear.
For some cases, we also offer same-day crowns using in-office CAD-CAM technology.
Caring for Your Crown
Avoid sticky or hard foods for the first 24 hours
Brush and floss daily, especially at the gumline
Expect temporary sensitivity; this usually fades
Contact us if discomfort continues beyond two weeks
Long-Term Tips for Crown Longevity
Use a nightguard if you grind your teeth
Never use your teeth to open packages or bite hard objects
Stay on top of dental cleanings and check-ups
Expect a lifespan of 10–20 years or more, depending on care and material
