The right crown for your smile — Zirconia, PFM or Gold — restoring strength, shape and confidence to a weakened tooth.
A crown, or "cap," is a custom-made cover that fits completely over a damaged or weakened tooth — restoring its size, strength, shape and appearance. Crowns are commonly used after a root canal, on a heavily filled tooth, or on a tooth that's cracked, worn down, or has had a large portion of structure lost to decay.
We offer three trusted crown materials, so you can choose the right balance of strength, appearance and budget for your specific tooth.
Metal-free, extremely strong and closely matches natural tooth translucency — our most popular premium choice for front and back teeth.
Porcelain fused to a metal base — a strong, reliable, cost-effective option well suited to molars under heavy chewing load.
Exceptional durability and gentle on opposing teeth — a long-standing traditional option, ideal for back molars.
The tooth is gently shaped to make room for the crown.
A precise mould captures the exact shape needed for your crown.
A temporary cap protects the tooth while your crown is made.
Your custom crown is checked for fit, bite and shade, then cemented.
It depends on the tooth's location and your priorities. Zirconia is ideal where appearance matters most; Gold and PFM are excellent for strength on back molars. We'll recommend the best fit during consultation.
With good care, a well-fitted crown typically lasts 10–15 years or longer before it may need replacement.
Tooth preparation is done under local anesthesia, so it's painless. Some mild sensitivity with the temporary crown is normal until the final one is fitted.
