What Is a Dental Crown?

When Do You Need a Crown?

Crowns are typically recommended when a tooth can’t be repaired with a simple filling.

Common reasons include:

• A cracked or broken tooth
• Severe decay or a large cavity
• A tooth weakened after a root canal
• Worn-down or fractured teeth
• Cosmetic improvements for misshapen teeth

If you’re experiencing pain when biting or notice visible damage, a crown may be the most reliable way to restore the tooth.

What to Expect During Treatment

Evaluation and Preparation

We start with an exam and digital X-rays to assess the condition of the tooth. If a crown is the right option, the tooth is carefully shaped to ensure a secure fit.

Temporary Crowns

In many cases, a temporary crown is placed while your final crown is being made. This protects the tooth and allows you to function normally in the meantime.

Temporary crowns are:

• Designed for short-term use
• Less durable than permanent crowns
• Important to keep in place until your final crown is ready

Crown Repairs and Replacements

When a Crown Needs Attention

Over time, crowns can loosen, wear down, or come off completely.

Common issues include:

• A loose or fallen-out crown
• Pain or sensitivity around the tooth
• Visible damage or wear

Same-Day Help

If your crown comes off or breaks, it’s important to have it checked quickly. In many cases, we can reattach or repair it the same day, or place a temporary solution to protect the tooth.
