Damaged or weakened teeth can affect your ability to chew, speak and smile confidently. Dental crowns provide a strong and natural-looking solution to restore your tooth’s shape, size and function. At Ariel Dental, we offer high-quality dental crowns designed for durability, comfort and aesthetics.
Why Choose a Dental Crown?
A dental crown is a custom-made cap that covers a damaged or weakened tooth, protecting it from further harm. Crowns are often recommended for teeth that have suffered decay, fractures or extensive wear.
Key benefits of dental crowns include:
- Restores Tooth Strength – Reinforces and protects weakened teeth.
- Enhances Appearance – Matches the color and shape of natural teeth.
- Long-Lasting Durability – Provides a strong, functional restoration.
- Protects After Treatment – Covers teeth after root canals or large fillings.
The Dental Crown Process
Getting a dental crown typically requires two visits to ensure a perfect fit and natural look. Here is what to expect:
- Evaluation and Preparation – Our dentists will examine the tooth, remove any decay and shape it for the crown.
- Impressions and Temporary Crown – We take impressions of your tooth to create a custom crown and place a temporary crown for protection.
- Final Placement – Once your permanent crown is ready, it is securely bonded to your tooth for a long-lasting restoration.
With proper care, dental crowns can last for many years, providing strength and protection to your smile. Brushing, flossing and regular checkups will help maintain your crown and overall oral health. If you experience discomfort or notice any issues with your crown, our dentists can make necessary adjustments for a perfect fit.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Crowns
How long do dental crowns last?
With proper care, dental crowns can last 10 to 15 years or longer. Regular dental visits and good oral hygiene extend their lifespan.
Can a crown be placed on a front tooth?
Yes, crowns can be placed on front teeth and are designed to blend seamlessly with natural teeth for an aesthetically pleasing appearance.
Will my crowned tooth be sensitive after the procedure?
Some mild sensitivity is normal after crown placement, but it typically subsides within a few days. If sensitivity persists, contact your dentist.
Can a dental crown be whitened?
