Restore Damaged Teeth with Custom Dental Crowns

When a tooth is too damaged or weakened to be repaired with a filling, a dental crown may be the best solution to restore its strength, function, and appearance. At the office of Elizabeth A. Joseph, DMD, we use custom-made crowns—also known as “caps”—to cover the entire surface of a compromised tooth and bring it back to its original shape and size. Crowns not only protect vulnerable teeth from further damage but also improve your ability to chew comfortably and smile confidently.

If you’re dealing with a cracked, worn, or decayed tooth, we’re here to help. Contact us today to schedule a consultation and learn how a dental crown can protect your tooth and preserve your oral health.

What to Expect from a Crown Procedure

Dental crowns are a versatile and reliable option for restoring teeth that have been significantly damaged by decay, injury, or large fillings. Each crown is custom-crafted to fit your bite and match the shade of your natural teeth, ensuring a comfortable and aesthetic result. Whether you need to restore a single tooth or anchor a dental bridge, crowns are an essential part of long-term dental health.

✔️ Covers the entire tooth for full protection and strength
Crowns are designed to completely encase the damaged tooth, protecting it from further wear or fracture.

✔️ Custom-made for a precise fit and natural appearance
Each crown is individually shaped and shaded to blend seamlessly with the rest of your smile.

✔️ Ideal for teeth weakened by large fillings or root canals
Crowns reinforce and stabilize teeth that can no longer support a filling on their own.

✔️ Restores normal chewing function and bite alignment
Once placed, a crown allows you to eat comfortably and maintain a healthy bite.

✔️ Durable, long-lasting results with proper care
With good hygiene and regular checkups, dental crowns can last many years and continue to protect your smile.
