A broken or damaged tooth can affect both your oral health and your confidence. In many cases, leaving it untreated may lead to further problems, including discomfort or infection. Fortunately, dental crowns offer a reliable way to restore both function and appearance.

A dental crown is a cap placed over a tooth to protect and strengthen it. It also improves the look of your smile by covering imperfections.

Dental crowns can help to:

• Protect a weak tooth from breaking
• Hold a cracked tooth together
• Support a damaged or decayed tooth
• Cover severe discoloration
• Restore a worn or broken tooth

Dentists use porcelain for most crowns because it provides both strength and a natural appearance. After the procedure, it is important to maintain good oral hygiene. For example, regular brushing, flossing, and dental visits will help your crown last for many years.

We also offer same-day crowns using our advanced CEREC technology. As a result, your tooth can be restored in just one visit while still delivering excellent results.

During your visit, Dr. Lane will take the time to evaluate your needs and explain your options. This helps you make a confident and informed decision about your treatment.
