Dental Crown

A reliable solution for damaged or weakened teeth

Protecting and Restoring Damaged Teeth

A dental crown is a custom-made restoration that covers and protects a damaged or weakened tooth. Crowns restore strength, function, and appearance—allowing you to chew comfortably while maintaining a natural-looking smile.
At North Coast Dentists, crowns are designed to blend seamlessly with your surrounding teeth while providing long-term durability.
Crowns are used to restore teeth that have been weakened by decay, cracks, or wear. By covering the tooth, a crown helps protect it from further damage while restoring strength, comfort, and everyday function.
In many cases, placing a crown can relieve discomfort and help reduce the need for more extensive treatment in the future.

When a Crown Is Recommended:

  • Protect a weak or cracked tooth
  • Restore a tooth that is broken or severely worn
  • Support a tooth with a large filling and limited remaining structure
  • Cover and protect a tooth after root canal treatment
  • Restore and support a dental implant
  • Improve the appearance of a tooth that is significantly discolored or damaged

Crown Materials & Options

We offer a variety of crown materials, including high-quality porcelain and porcelain-fused restorations. Each crown is carefully selected and shaded to complement your natural teeth, creating a result that looks and feels natural.
Your dentist will recommend the most appropriate material based on function, location, and aesthetic goals.

Crown Materials & Options

Crowns are typically completed over two visits. During the first visit, the tooth is prepared and a temporary crown is placed for protection. At the following visit, the custom crown is fitted, adjusted, and securely cemented—restoring comfort and function.

How Crowns Help Restore Your Tooth

Crowns provide a durable solution for teeth affected by damage, wear, or structural weakness. They help distribute biting forces evenly, reduce stress on the remaining tooth structure, and restore comfortable function.
If you have concerns about a damaged tooth or an older restoration, our team will evaluate your needs and recommend the most appropriate treatment during your visit.
