What are Dental Crowns?

A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap that is placed over a tooth to restore its shape, size, and function. Crowns are used to:

We custom-make each crown to match the shape and shade of your natural teeth, ensuring a seamless result that enhances both form and function.

When Is a Crown Needed?

You may need a crown if you have:

  • A cracked or fractured tooth

  • A large filling that compromises tooth structure

  • A tooth that has undergone root canal therapy

  • Excessive wear or erosion

  • A missing tooth being restored with an implant or bridge

If you're unsure whether a crown is right for you, Dr. Sandefer will perform a full evaluation, using digital X-rays and intraoral imaging to determine the best solution.

What to Expect During a Dental Crown Procedure

1. Initial Exam and Tooth Preparation

Your visit begins with an exam and X-rays. If a crown is needed, the tooth will be reshaped and any decay removed. An impression is taken to create a precise fit.

2. Temporary Crown Placement

A temporary crown is placed while your permanent crown is being crafted at a dental lab.

3. Final Crown Placement

At your second visit, we bond the custom crown to your tooth and check for proper bite and comfort. You'll leave with a fully restored, functional smile.

Benefits of Dental Crowns

Crowns are an essential part of restorative dentistry, helping patients maintain both function and aesthetics after dental damage.

How Long Do Dental Crowns Last?

Frequently Asked Questions

Is getting a crown painful?

No. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia to keep you comfortable. Any soreness after the appointment is usually mild and temporary.

How long does it take to get a crown?

Typically, two visits are needed. The first is for tooth preparation and impressions. The second is for placing the permanent crown.

Will my crown match my natural teeth?

Yes. We take detailed color-matching steps to ensure your crown blends in with the rest of your smile. Porcelain and ceramic crowns are especially natural-looking.

Is a crown better than a filling?

If a tooth is severely weakened or has a large portion missing, a crown is often a better option than a filling. Dr. Sandefer will explain which treatment is best for your situation.
