When a tooth needs a little extra support, dental crowns offer a reliable solution that can bring back both function and beauty to your smile. At our practice, we understand the importance of maintaining your natural teeth whenever possible. Dental crowns are an essential part of restorative care, providing protection and enhancing the appearance of damaged or weakened teeth.

The Benefits of Choosing Dental Crowns

Dental crowns, sometimes referred to as “caps,” are designed to cover the entire visible portion of a tooth. Whether you are dealing with a tooth that has been weakened by decay, cracked from injury or worn down over time, a dental crown can offer the protection it needs. Crowns are not just about strength — they also enhance the appearance of your teeth, giving them a natural look that blends seamlessly with your other teeth.

Dr. Pranay Patel takes great care in ensuring that each crown is custom-made for you. Using advanced materials, crowns can be created to mimic the look of your teeth. This attention to detail helps ensure that your crown not only restores your tooth’s function but also its appearance.

Dental crowns are versatile. They can:

  • Protect a weak tooth from breaking
  • Restore an already broken or severely worn down tooth
  • Hold a dental bridge in place
  • Cover misshapen or severely discolored teeth
  • Cover a dental implant

By choosing dental crowns, you are investing in your long-term oral health. Our dentist and team are committed to providing crowns that are durable, comfortable and made to last.
