Save the tooth
A crown protects a tooth that would otherwise fracture or need to be extracted.
A custom cap that restores a damaged tooth to full strength and a natural appearance — the workhorse of restorative dentistry.
A crown covers and protects a tooth that has been weakened by decay, a fracture, or a root canal. Modern porcelain crowns are color-matched and shaped to look identical to a natural tooth.
We use high-strength ceramic for back teeth and translucent porcelain on front teeth where the optical match matters most. Both are bonded to the prepared tooth for a strong, predictable, long-lasting result.
Modern porcelain crowns are color-matched and translucent enough that most patients can't identify their own.

The custom crown is made over 2–3 weeks — color, shape, and translucency designed for your specific tooth.
