Not every damaged tooth needs to be removed. In many cases, a dental crown allows us to protect your natural tooth while restoring the way it looks and functions.

Whether your tooth has cracked, broken, become worn down, or needs protection after a root canal, a crown acts like a strong outer covering that reinforces the remaining tooth underneath.

In our office, we use metal-free zirconia crowns because they combine durability with a natural appearance. They’re designed to handle everyday chewing while blending in with your smile, so you don’t have to think twice about using your teeth.

What Is a Dental Crown?

A dental crown is a custom-made restoration that completely covers a damaged tooth. Think of it as a protective cap that’s designed specifically for your tooth.

Crowns are often recommended when a filling isn’t enough to restore the tooth safely. By covering the remaining structure, a crown helps prevent further damage while allowing you to bite and chew with confidence.

A dental crown may be recommended if you have:

  • A cracked or fractured tooth
  • A tooth weakened by a large filling
  • A severely worn tooth
  • A tooth that has had root canal treatment
  • A tooth that needs improved strength and appearance

Because we use zirconia, your crown is free from metal while providing the strength needed for everyday use.

What to Expect During Treatment

Getting a dental crown is a straightforward process that’s completed over two appointments for most patients.

Exam and Planning

We’ll examine your tooth, take digital images if needed, and determine whether a crown is the best option for protecting it.

Preparing the Tooth

A small amount of the outer tooth is carefully reshaped so your custom crown fits comfortably and securely.

Creating Your Crown

We’ll take precise impressions that are used to create a zirconia crown designed specifically for your smile.

Final Placement

Once your crown is ready, we’ll check the fit, make any necessary adjustments, and securely bond it into place. Before you leave, we’ll make sure your bite feels comfortable and natural.

Care That Helps You Keep Your Smile

Choosing a dental crown is about more than repairing a tooth. It’s about protecting your ability to eat comfortably, speak naturally, and avoid more extensive treatment in the future.

Our team believes every patient deserves honest recommendations and care that’s designed around their individual needs. We’ll explain your options in everyday language, answer your questions, and help you feel comfortable with every decision.

When a crown is the right solution, we’ll make sure it restores both the health and function of your smile while looking as natural as possible.

Protect Your Smile for Years to Come

A damaged tooth won’t repair itself, but it doesn’t always need to be removed either. With a custom zirconia crown, you can strengthen your tooth, protect it from further damage, and continue enjoying everyday life without worrying about it.

If you have a tooth that’s cracked, worn, or causing concern, Dr. Callejo and our team at Artisan Dental Group are here to help you understand your options and find the treatment that’s right for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do dental crowns last?

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 to open packages can help extend their lifespan.

Are dental crowns painful?

The procedure is performed using local anesthetic, so you shouldn’t feel pain during treatment. Some mild sensitivity afterward is normal, but it usually settles within a few days.

Will my crown look like my natural tooth?

Yes. We use metal-free zirconia crowns that are designed to closely match the colour and shape of your surrounding teeth, creating a natural-looking result.

Can a crown fix a broken tooth?

In many cases, yes. If enough healthy tooth remains, a crown can restore the tooth’s strength and help prevent further damage.

How do I care for a dental crown?

Brush and floss daily just as you would your natural teeth, and continue attending regular dental checkups and cleanings. Good oral hygiene helps protect both your crown and the tooth underneath
