Strength and shape, restored.
Dental crowns are strong, custom-made caps used to restore and protect teeth that are too damaged for a filling. Ours are designed to look natural, enhancing both strength and appearance.
What are they?
Crowns are custom-made caps that cover a damaged or weakened tooth to restore its shape, strength and appearance. They are the answer when a standard filling is no longer enough.
A crown is often recommended after a large filling, root canal treatment, or when a tooth is cracked or badly worn.
The benefits
- Protects and strengthens the damaged tooth

Shaping & impressions
The affected tooth is carefully shaped and we take digital or physical impressions for a precise fit.

Final fitting
At a follow-up visit, your permanent crown is secured and checked for comfort, bite and appearance.

Usually after a large filling, root canal treatment, or when a tooth is cracked, worn or weakened beyond what a filling can fix.
How many visits does it take?
Typically two. One to shape the tooth and take impressions, and one to fit the finished crown.
How long do crowns last?
With good care, crowns commonly last 10 to 15 years or more.
