Permanent Crowns for Teeth: A Durable, Natural-Looking Solution
A permanent dental crown is a custom-made cap that covers a damaged or weakened tooth. Modern crowns are crafted from porcelain or zirconia and look identical to your natural teeth.
When you may need a crown
- A tooth has had a root canal and needs structural protection.
- A large filling is failing or has fractured the tooth.
- A cracked tooth needs full-coverage support.
- You want a cosmetic upgrade for a misshapen or discolored tooth.
The CEREC same-day option
At Mohip Dental, we use CEREC technology to design and mill a porcelain crown in a single visit, so you walk in with a damaged tooth and walk out with a finished restoration. No temporary crown, no second appointment.
Caring for your crown
- Brush and floss exactly as you would a natural tooth.
- Avoid biting ice, hard candy, or pen caps.
- Wear a night guard if you grind your teeth.
- Keep up with six-month cleanings.
With proper care, a quality crown can last 15 to 20 years or longer.
