What does getting a crown involve?

It's a two-step process. At your first visit we prepare the tooth and capture its shape for the lab, and you leave with a temporary crown that lets you eat and function normally. About two weeks later your permanent crown arrives from the dental lab we work with outside the office, and we fit and cement it at your second visit.

How long do crowns and bridges last?

With routine cleanings and good home care, most modern crowns and bridges last 10 to 15 years or more.

Will it look natural?

Yes — we shade-match every restoration to your surrounding teeth so it disappears into your smile.

Restorative dentistry

Restore strength, shape, and a natural-looking smile.

When a tooth is cracked, deeply decayed, or missing, crowns and bridges restore both function and appearance — color-matched to blend seamlessly with your other teeth.
