What Is a Dental Crown?

A dental crown, sometimes called a dental cap, is a custom-made restoration that completely covers a damaged tooth. Crowns restore the tooth’s shape, size, strength, and appearance while allowing you to chew, speak, and smile comfortably.

Dental crowns are commonly recommended for teeth that are:

  • Cracked or fractured
  • Severely worn down
  • Weakened by large fillings
  • Damaged by decay
  • Broken from injury
  • Treated with root canal therapy
  • Misshapen or discolored
  • Supporting a dental bridge
  • Restored with a dental implant
Our crowns are carefully crafted to blend seamlessly with your surrounding teeth, giving you a natural-looking smile that can last for many years with proper care.

Benefits of Dental Crowns

Dental crowns offer both cosmetic and restorative benefits, including:
  • Restoring normal chewing function
  • Strengthening weakened teeth
  • Protecting teeth from additional damage
  • Improving the appearance of damaged teeth
  • Restoring your natural bite
  • Long-lasting durability
  • Natural-looking results
Many patients are surprised by how comfortable and lifelike their new crowns feel once treatment is complete.

Here’s what Karmen shared about her family’s experience:

"I have been going to Desert Ridge Dental for years, and even started to bring my grandmother... Prior to coming to Desert Ridge, my grandmother went elsewhere for her crowns and was unhappy with the service.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a dental crown?
A dental crown is a custom restoration that covers the entire visible portion of a damaged tooth. It restores strength, function, and appearance while helping protect the tooth from future damage.
With good oral hygiene and regular dental visits, many dental crowns last 10 to 15 years or longer. Avoiding habits like chewing ice or using your teeth as tools can help maximize their lifespan.
Yes. Modern dental crowns are designed to closely match the color, shape, and size of your surrounding teeth. Our dentists carefully customize each restoration to create a natural-looking smile.
Most patients experience little discomfort during the procedure because the tooth is thoroughly numbed beforehand. If you experience dental anxiety, we also offer IV sedation, oral sedation, and nitrous oxide to help you remain comfortable throughout your visit.
When a tooth has extensive decay, large fractures, significant wear, or structural weakness, a filling may not provide enough support. A dental crown completely surrounds the tooth, providing greater protection and long-term durability.
Brush twice daily, floss around the crown every day, and continue regular dental checkups and cleanings. Good oral hygiene helps protect both your crown and the natural tooth underneath.
Many dental insurance plans cover crowns when they are considered medically necessary to restore a damaged tooth. Coverage varies depending on your individual plan. Our team will verify your benefits, explain your estimated out-of-pocket costs, and help you maximize your insurance before treatment begins.
