What are Dental Crowns?
Where large fillings are present, or portions of a tooth are missing due to breakage or decay crowns are an ideal solution. Crowns are permanent dental restorations that fit over the remaining tooth structure. Dental crowns are also sometimes referred to as caps. In addition to restoring structure, crowns provide a seal that protects the interior of the tooth. While once made of gold, dental crowns today feature a white porcelain surface that matches and blends with your neighboring teeth.
With proper home care and regular checkups, your crown can be a long-term solution for a natural-looking smile.
Why Would I Need a Dental Crown?
You may need a dental crown if you:
- have a cavity that is too large for a filling
- need to cover a dental implant
- have a missing tooth and need a dental bridge
- have a tooth that is cracked, worn down, or weakened
- have had a root canal treatment – the crown protects the restored tooth
- want to cover a discolored or badly shaped tooth to improve your smile
Benefits of Dental Crowns
Dental crowns are a great way to protect and restore teeth. They prevent further tooth damage and maintain a healthy, pleasing smile. Dental crowns also:
- Replicate the look of a natural tooth
- Improve your smile
- Protect weak, damaged teeth
- Prevent teeth from breaking apart
- Hold together a fractured tooth
- Restore a tooth after a root canal
- Function as a replacement tooth atop a dental implant
- Serve as the support for a replacement tooth in a dental bridge
What Type of Crown Should You Get?
There are three basic crown types used today:
Porcelain fused to metal crowns are the most commonly used crown today. They combine the strength of a metal base with a cosmetic covering of tooth-colored porcelain. They have a proven track record of success. However, over time, the metal may show through at the gum-line (as a visible dark line). These crowns may therefore not be the ideal choice where esthetics are of prime importance.
Porcelain or ceramic only crowns yield the best cosmetic result, by closely reproducing the natural look of a tooth. There are many types of crowns that fit into this category and the technology is constantly advancing. The new materials are durable and provide unparalleled esthetics.
Usually made from a gold alloy, these crowns are the most durable and also require the least amount of tooth reduction. Metal only crowns are a good choice in cases of heavy bruxism or where tooth reduction must be limited.

My teeth are in the best shape they’ve EVER been. ALL of the people who work at Smiles at Southcenter are wonderful. The dentists are kind and gentle, everyone is friendly, and you can tell they really enjoy their jobs. I never have to wait!!!! We’ve been going here for 24 years and we LOVE this office.
Hands down, this place is the best!! I did my research prior to coming here and from my first visit (sept 2018) to present, I am so pleased with the staffing, professionalism and everything they are doing to help me achieve the perfect smile I’ve always desired. Dr Nguyen & Dr Miller know what they’re doing and their communication with me and the treatment plan doesn’t go unnoticed. You won’t be disappointed with how this office is ran. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!
This office is amazing and so courteous and welcoming. Great atmosphere for sure. When I went in for my cleaning I was greeted very fast and walked back in a timely manner. Everything was explained to me about my teeth and what treatment I needed in the future. The best part was I was offered a blanket. That was absolutely amazing to me. Will definitely tell everyone about this office.
We love this dentist office, so comfortable and easy to communicate with. I have high functioning autistic teens who can even handle going here. Highly recommend this dentist office and especially Dr Miller!
