A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap that covers your damaged tooth. Crowns can protect your tooth from breaking by restoring their shape, size, strength, and appearance. Here at Skinner Dental, we use high-quality materials for your crown so it can look and feel just like your natural teeth.
If you have a cracked tooth, severely decayed tooth, worn-down tooth, or have had a root canal, our experienced doctors may suggest getting a dental crown. Dental crowns are also used for covering dental implants or for cosmetic purposes on misshapen or discolored teeth. During your exam, our experienced doctors will discuss your treatment options and help determine whether a dental crown is the best solution for restoring your smile.
With proper care, a dental crown can last 10 to 15 years or even longer. At Skinner Dental, we recommend brushing twice a day, flossing daily, and keeping up with regular dental checkups to properly care for your crown.
Patients who receive dental crowns describe the process as very comfortable. Our caring team want to ensure that your visit is relaxing and stress-free, which is why we use the latest techniques and painless local anesthesia during your treatment.

Once it’s ready, we’ll remove your temporary restoration and fit your new crown to make sure it feels comfortable and the color matches. After we ensure you’re happy with how it looks, we will secure your new crown.
Yes! We take the color of your surrounding teeth into consideration when creating your crown. Our goal is to enhance your smile and make sure your new restoration blends in seamlessly.
Caring for your dental crown is simple and very similar to caring for your natural teeth. At Skinner Dental, we recommend brushing twice a day, flossing daily, avoiding chewing on hard objects like ice, and keeping up with your checkups. Our experienced doctors will examine your crown during each visit to make sure it’s in good shape.
