DENTAL CROWNS

IN WARREN, NJ

While dental fillings can provide an excellent way to repair a decayed or damaged tooth, they don’t always provide the right solution for rebuilding a strong, functional one. When too much tooth structure is compromised by dental decay, trauma, root canals, or habitual clenching and grinding, a filling just won’t do.  In these situations, a dental crown, more commonly referred to as a cap, provides a better way to restore the involved tooth's integrity, function, and appearance.

​

A crown is a tooth-shaped "cap" which is used to entirely cover a damaged tooth.  Aside from restoring the tooth's shape and size, a crown provides strength and improves the tooth's appearance.  Additionally, crowns are used on top of a dental implant to add function, structure and a tooth-like shape.

​

There are several different materials used in crowns:

  • porcelain

  • ceramic

  • zirconia

  • metal

  • composite resin

  • a combination of materials

​

When selecting the material for your crown, your dentist will consider factors such as:

  • your tooth’s location

  • how much of the tooth will show when you smile

  • position of your gum tissue

  • function of the tooth that needs the crown

  • how much natural tooth is remaining

  • color of the surrounding teeth
