A dental crown, or cap, is used to help protect and restore a damaged tooth. Crowns are made out of durable, yet realistic-looking materials that can last for years. You may need a crown if a tooth has broken, cracked or has recently been root canaled. We often recommend having a crown placed as a way to protect the remaining tooth.
We begin by numbing the area with a local anesthetic. We then file down the damaged tooth so that there’s adequate room for the new crown. Impressions, or molds, are taken to make the actual crown for you. You’ll go home after the first appointment with a temporary dental crown in place. After about one to two weeks, you’ll come back in to have the permanent crown put over the tooth. We make adjustments to how the crown fits before you’re able to leave the office feeling confident in your beautiful smile.
If you would like to come into our office to consult with us about a dental crown, call us today to speak with one of our trained team members.
Crowns can be placed on any tooth within the mouth and last for decades with the proper care. They can even be replaced over time as they show signs of wear and tear. Some of the reasons you may need a crown include:
To determine if a crown is needed, we will perform an examination prior to your appointment. Most patients who need a crown can safely have the procedure done right in our office. Crowns are one of the most common restorations placed, and the majority of patients will have at least one crown at some point in their life. Because crowns are custom made for the patient, they look natural and realistic.

More ReviewsAfter going to the same dentist for 50 years I was faced with finding a new one. I am very happy I found Dr Patel. I’ve had a few fillings done and also a couple of teeth replaced and I couldn’t be happier.
I never thought I would look forward to getting my teeth cleaned until I found Brentwood Orchard Dentistry! The receptionists are very welcoming and the dental hygienist is wonderful.
Dr. Patel and his staff are very professional and kind. He takes the time to make sure all work is done perfectly and as painless as possible. The staff in the front are also great!
Can’t thank the staff enough for the care and compassion they show to both my kids , both of whom have special needs and require extra support and assistance. Without y’all my family would be in such a different place.
Dr. Patel, and his staff ARE amazing. I have been going to Orchard Dental for several years now. Today I had to go in and get some fillings replaced, I was very nervous from previous dental experiences.
