What is Dental Crowns?

At Shrub Oak Smiles, we believe in providing the highest quality dental care to help our patients achieve healthy, beautiful smiles. One of the most effective treatments we offer for restoring damaged or weakened teeth is dental crowns. In this article, we will explore what dental crowns are, how they work, and the many ways they can benefit you.


A dental crown is a custom-made, tooth-shaped "cap" that is placed over a damaged or decayed tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Crowns are designed to fit snugly over the remaining part of the tooth, covering it completely and protecting it from further damage. They are made from a variety of materials, including porcelain, ceramic, metal, or a combination of these, each offering different benefits in terms of strength, durability, and aesthetics.


Dental crowns are often recommended when a tooth is too damaged or decayed to be repaired with a simple filling, but not so damaged that it requires extraction. Crowns can also be used to enhance the appearance of a tooth, improving its color, shape, or alignment. At Shrub Oak Smiles, our team of experienced dentists will assess your specific dental needs and help you choose the best type of crown for your situation.

How Shrub Oak Smiles can help

Dental crowns offer several important benefits to patients, making them an excellent solution for a wide range of dental issues. Here’s how dental crowns can help:


Restores Functionality to Damaged Teeth: When a tooth is damaged, cracked, or severely decayed, it can become difficult to chew and speak properly. A dental crown restores the tooth's functionality, allowing you to eat and speak with ease. The crown strengthens the tooth, protecting it from further damage and restoring its ability to function normally.


Prevents Further Damage and Decay: A damaged tooth is more susceptible to decay and further breakage. By covering the tooth with a crown, you provide an extra layer of protection that helps prevent additional damage and decay. This is especially important if the tooth has undergone a root canal treatment, where the removal of the pulp can leave it more vulnerable. A crown acts as a protective barrier, ensuring the tooth remains strong and healthy for years to come.


Enhances Aesthetic Appearance: Dental crowns can dramatically improve the appearance of your teeth. If you have a tooth that is discolored, misshapen, or worn down, a crown can restore its natural appearance. Crowns are custom-made to match the color, size, and shape of your existing teeth, ensuring a seamless blend with your smile. At Shrub Oak Smiles, we use high-quality materials to create crowns that look and feel just like natural teeth, enhancing your overall smile aesthetics.


Supports Teeth After Restorative Procedures: After certain dental procedures, such as a root canal or a large filling, a tooth can become fragile and more likely to break. A crown provides crucial support to the tooth, holding it together and maintaining its integrity. This added support helps to extend the life of the tooth, reducing the need for future dental work.


Improves Comfort and Confidence: A damaged or decayed tooth can cause discomfort, sensitivity, and even pain when eating or drinking. A dental crown covers and protects the tooth, alleviating discomfort and allowing you to enjoy your favorite foods and beverages without worry. Additionally, a restored, healthy smile boosts your confidence, allowing you to speak, laugh, and smile freely.


Long-Lasting Durability: Dental crowns are designed to be durable and long-lasting. With proper care, a well-made crown can last for many years, providing a cost-effective solution for tooth restoration. At Shrub Oak Smiles, we use high-quality materials and advanced techniques to ensure your crown is both durable and aesthetically pleasing, giving you peace of mind and a lasting solution.


Custom-Made for Your Needs: Every patient is unique, and so is every dental crown. At Shrub Oak Smiles, we take precise measurements and use advanced technology to create crowns that fit perfectly over your damaged tooth. This personalized approach ensures optimal comfort, functionality, and appearance, providing a crown that feels like a natural part of your smile.


Dental crowns are a versatile solution that can benefit a wide range of patients. They are ideal for those with:


  • Severely decayed or damaged teeth that cannot be repaired with fillings

  • Cracked or broken teeth in need of restoration

  • Teeth that have undergone root canal treatment

  • Teeth that are misshapen, discolored, or otherwise aesthetically unpleasing

  • Large fillings that need additional support

  • A desire to improve their smile's overall appearance and functionality
