Tooth Crown Treatment involves placing a custom-made dental crown over a damaged, weakened, or heavily restored tooth to restore its strength, shape, function, and appearance. Crowns can be made from materials such as porcelain, ceramic, zirconia, or metal alloys, depending on the tooth's location and the patient's needs. A crown may also be used to protect a tooth after root canal treatment or to restore a severely worn or broken tooth.
Patients with Damaged Teeth
Individuals with severely cracked, broken, worn, or weakened teeth that cannot be adequately restored with a regular filling.
Patients After Root Canal Treatment
People whose teeth have undergone root canal treatment and require additional protection and structural support.
Patients Seeking Tooth Restoration
Individuals with severely discolored, misshapen, or aesthetically compromised teeth who may benefit from a crown to restore their smile and dental function.
Comprehensive Dental Assessment
Your dentist examines the affected tooth and surrounding gums and may take X-rays or digital scans to determine whether a crown is appropriate.
Tooth Preparation & Crown Placement
The damaged tooth is carefully reshaped to create space for the crown. Digital impressions or traditional molds are then used to create a customized crown that fits the tooth.
Final Placement & Follow-Up
Once the crown is ready, your dentist checks its fit, shape, color, and bite before permanently bonding it to the tooth and providing aftercare guidance.

During Procedure

- The tooth is prepared and an impression or digital scan is taken for the customized crown.
- A temporary crown may be placed while the permanent crown is being prepared, followed by final fitting and cementation.
After Procedure
- Mild sensitivity or gum tenderness may occur for a few days.
