Restore & Strengthen Your Smile with Dental Crowns

When teeth are damaged or weakened, dental crowns offer a natural-looking, durable solution to restore function and aesthetics. At Allen & Schwarz Dental, we specialize in high-quality porcelain and porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.

What is a Dental Crown?

A dental crown is a custom-made cap that covers a damaged, weak, or discolored tooth, restoring its strength, shape, and appearance. Crowns are an excellent option for repairing:

✔ Severely decayed or fractured teeth
✔ Teeth with large, worn-out fillings
✔ Misshapen or discolored teeth
✔ Teeth that have undergone root canal treatment
✔ Missing teeth (when used with a dental bridge or implant)

The Benefits of Dental Crowns

Natural-Looking Restoration – Designed to match the shape and color of your existing teeth.

Restores Strength & Function – Protects weak or damaged teeth from further breakage.

Durable & Long-Lasting – High-quality materials ensure crowns can last 20+ years with proper care.

Eliminates Sensitivity & Pain – Relieves discomfort caused by cracks or extensive decay.

The Dental Crown Process

1️⃣ Initial Visit
The damaged tooth is carefully reshaped to accommodate the crown.
An impression is taken to create a perfectly fitted restoration.
A temporary crown is placed to protect the tooth while your custom crown is being fabricated.

2️⃣ Final Placement
The permanent crown is fitted, adjusted for comfort, and securely cemented in place.
The result: a strong, natural-looking tooth that enhances both function and aesthetics.

What Are Crowns Made Of?

Dental crowns can be crafted from:

✔ Porcelain – Matches the natural color of your teeth for a seamless look
✔ Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM) – Combines strength with aesthetics
✔ Gold or Metal Alloys – Provides exceptional durability, ideal for back teeth

Why Choose a Crown Over Other Restorations?

While dental veneers are great for cosmetic improvements, crowns offer additional strength and protection—making them the preferred option for severely damaged teeth. If you experience cracked teeth, worn enamel, or large fillings, a crown may be the best solution for long-term oral health.
