Our experienced team will help you determine if a dental crown is the right solution for your needs and guide you through every step of the procedure.
A dental crown is a cap placed over a tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. At The Dental Anesthesia Center, we often recommend dental crowns as an effective solution for various dental issues. But when exactly is a crown necessary, and what benefits does it offer?

When Is a Dental Crown Necessary?
- Protecting a weak tooth: If you have a decayed or damaged tooth, a crown can help prevent it from breaking or holding together parts of a cracked tooth.
- Restoring a broken tooth: When only a little bit of tooth is left, a crown can effectively cover and support a tooth with a large filling.
- Covering a dental implant: Crowns cover dental implants, providing a tooth-like shape and structure for function.
- Covering discolored or misshapen teeth: If you have a severely discolored or misshapen tooth, a crown can help improve its appearance.
- Supporting a dental bridge: Crowns are often used to hold a dental bridge in place.
- After a root canal: Teeth that have undergone root canal treatment often need crowns to protect the restored tooth.
Benefits of Dental Crowns
- Improved appearance: Crowns can match the color of your natural teeth, enhancing your smile’s overall appearance.
- Restored function: A crown allows you to chew and speak normally again by covering a damaged tooth.
- Durability: With proper care, dental crowns can last many years, providing a long-term solution.
- Protection: Crowns shield weak or damaged teeth from further decay or damage.
- Comfort: Once in place, a well-fitted crown feels and functions like a natural tooth.
- Versatility: Crowns can address various dental issues, from cosmetic concerns to structural problems.
