Dental crowns cover and protect a tooth that is cracked, heavily filled, or weakened — restoring shape, strength, and appearance.

We take time to match shade and bite so your crown feels natural at Brickell Dental Care, whether the tooth needed a root canal or large restoration.

Key benefits

• Protects remaining tooth structure from further fracture
• Improves chewing comfort when a tooth is compromised
• Natural-looking materials available for front and back teeth
• Long-term solution when paired with good hygiene and regular exams

What to expect

1. Evaluation — We confirm that a crown is the right option and discuss material choices (e.g., porcelain, zirconia, gold).

2. Preparation — The tooth is shaped conservatively; scans or impressions capture detail for the lab or milling process.

3. Temporary & final — A temporary crown protects the tooth while the final crown is made; we seat, adjust bite, and cement.

4. Follow-up — We check comfort and tissue response and review care for the new crown.

Who it’s for

Crowns are common after large fillings, cracks, root canal therapy, or cosmetic enhancement when veneers are not indicated. We will recommend alternatives if a simpler repair is safer.

FAQ

How long does a crown last?

Many crowns last many years with good care; grinding habits and hygiene affect longevity.

Will it look natural?

We aim for shade and shape harmony with your surrounding teeth.

Is the tooth sensitive after?

Some sensitivity can occur briefly; persistent pain should be evaluated.

A well-fitting crown should feel like part of your natural bite — precision at the prep and delivery visit matters.
