What is a crown?

A custom-built cap that gives your tooth its strength back.

A dental crown is a tooth-shaped covering that fits over a damaged, decayed, or treated tooth — restoring its full shape, strength, and bite. Modern crowns are crafted from materials that mimic the translucency and wear of natural enamel, so once placed, they're virtually undetectable.

Whether you've had a root canal, a large filling that's failing, or a fractured tooth from an accident, a crown is often the most conservative way to save the tooth and avoid extraction.

  • Protects a weak tooth from breaking or holds a cracked tooth together
  • Restores a tooth that's already broken or severely worn down
  • Covers and supports a tooth with a large filling and little structure left
  • Caps a dental implant or anchors a dental bridge
  • Improves the appearance of a discolored or misshapen tooth

Why crowns work

Six reasons patients choose a crown over an extraction.

Save the tooth

Keep your natural tooth root in place — always preferable to extraction and replacement.

Built to last

With routine care, modern crowns regularly last 15+ years before any replacement is needed.

Looks natural

Color-matched and contoured to blend with your existing teeth — no one will spot it.

Restores bite

You can chew, bite, and speak normally from the day your permanent crown is placed.

Protects roots

Especially important after a root canal, when the tooth becomes more brittle and prone to fracture.

Two visits

No drawn-out treatment plans. Most patients complete the full process in 10–14 days.

Patient stories

What our patients are saying.

★★★★★

After years of avoiding photos because of a chipped front tooth, Dr. Roth's team gave me a porcelain crown that looks completely natural. I genuinely forgot which tooth was the crown after a week.

★★★★★

I'd been told I needed an extraction at another clinic. Dr. Roth saved the tooth with a zirconia crown. Two visits, no pain, and my bite feels exactly like it used to.

The entire team is meticulous in a way I've never experienced at a dentist. They scanned, fitted, and adjusted my crown three times until it felt perfect. Worth every dollar.

Common questions

Answers to what most people ask.

With proper oral hygiene and regular dental checkups, modern crowns last 15 to 20 years on average. Zirconia and E-max crowns can last even longer. The crown itself is essentially impervious to decay, but the underlying tooth still needs care.

The procedure itself is done under local anesthesia, so you'll feel pressure but no pain. Most patients describe mild sensitivity for a few days after the tooth preparation visit, which resolves once the permanent crown is placed.

Traditionally, it's two visits about 10–14 days apart. The first visit is for preparation and impressions; the second is to fit and bond the final crown. We also offer same-day CEREC crowns for select cases.

Most PPO dental plans cover 40–60% of the cost when a crown is medically necessary (after a root canal, large fracture, or significant decay). Our front desk verifies your benefits before treatment so you know exactly what to expect.

A veneer is a thin shell that covers only the front of a tooth — purely cosmetic. A crown covers the entire tooth and is used when the tooth is structurally compromised. Veneers preserve more tooth structure but can't restore function the way a crown can.

Yes. If a crown chips, becomes loose, or wears out, it can be replaced with a new one in most cases. We also honor a 5-year workmanship warranty on every crown we place at this practice.
