Stop the damage

A crown keeps a cracked or heavily decayed tooth from breaking down further. Keeping a tooth nearly always beats replacing it.

Price you can see first

We go over your options and give you the full written cost before work begins, with PPO benefits checked. Preview typical dental crown costs before your visit.

Built for your bite

Material is chosen tooth by tooth, based on your chewing forces, then take our time on the fit so it feels natural.

Signs a crown is the right fix

A crown makes sense when a tooth is too damaged for a filling to hold up. The usual reasons:

Big cavity

When decay has taken too much of the tooth for a filling to last, a crown wraps and supports what’s left.

Crack or fracture

A crack heading toward the root needs covering before it travels, the same urgency we describe in our guide to a broken or chipped tooth. The crown holds the pieces together.

Following a root canal

After root canal treatment, a tooth dries out and turns brittle. A crown keeps it from splitting.

Worn down or broken

Grinding, an accident, or a fracture can shorten a tooth or leave it jagged. A crown rebuilds its shape and height.

Anchoring a bridge

When a bridge fills a gap, its two ends are cemented to crowned neighbors.

Book a Crown Exam

Two visits, start to finish

Most people head straight back to their day. With 7 am openings Monday through Thursday, both visits can be done before you get to the office.

First visit

Reshape the tooth, capture a scan, and send you out with a temporary cap.

At the lab

Your crown is made to match from that impression, typically in one to two weeks.

Second visit

Temporary out, permanent in: fit, bite, and color confirmed, then cemented.

Choosing a crown material

All-ceramic and porcelain-fused-to-metal handle most cases. Zirconia and full gold are available on request:

Your dentist will recommend what suits that tooth and your bite rather than a one-size answer. Read more about crown types →

Zirconia and gold carry a separate lab charge that rises and falls with the metals market; we quote it when you pick.

All-ceramic / all-porcelain

The most lifelike look.

Ideal for front teeth and anywhere visible.

Zirconia

Exceptionally strong and still natural-looking. By request.

Lab fee confirmed at selection.

Full metal (gold or alloy)

The toughest choice. By request.

Typically for back molars; lab fee applies.

^FAQ

Crown FAQs

What will my crown cost?

Material is the main factor, plus whether a core buildup is needed underneath. PPO plans often cover part. Your written quote reflects your plan before you come in.

Is getting a crown painful?

Local anesthetic handles the appointment. Expect mild gum soreness for a couple of days.

How long will a crown last?

A decade or more is typical; 15+ is common with good care. We check fit and condition at every exam.

Can I get a crown in one day?

Not here. A local lab crafts each crown over roughly 7 to 14 days. A temporary protects your tooth until then.

What if I skip the crown?

The tooth usually deteriorates. Cracks spread, decay deepens, and a simple two-visit crown can become an extraction. Intraoral photos let you see the problem for yourself.
