What Is a
Dental Crowns
A dental crown, sometimes called a “cap,” is a custom-made restoration designed to cover the entire visible surface of a tooth. It restores the tooth’s natural shape, size, and strength while improving its appearance. Crowns are ideal for repairing teeth that are fractured, worn down, or severely decayed — and they play an important role in protecting teeth after root canal treatment or completing a dental implant.
By combining durability with lifelike aesthetics, crowns allow patients to chew comfortably and smile confidently once again.

WHAT TO EXPECT DURING?
Dental Crowns?
Getting a dental crown is a simple, comfortable process typically completed in two visits. Each step is designed to ensure a secure fit, natural look, and lasting strength.

Dr. Goldwater will reshape the affected tooth and take precise digital impressions to create your custom crown. A temporary crown is placed to protect your tooth while your permanent one is crafted at a specialized dental lab.

Your crown is carefully designed using advanced materials such as porcelain, zirconia, or lithium disilicate. Each offers excellent durability and lifelike aesthetics, and the choice depends on your unique needs and tooth position.

Once your final crown is ready, it is bonded securely in place. Dr. Goldwater adjusts your bite to ensure comfort and natural function, leaving you with a strong, beautiful, and seamless restoration.
