Tooth Restoration

Dental Crowns: Strengthen, Protect & Restore Damaged Teeth

A dental crown is a custom-made cap that completely covers a damaged, decayed, or weakened tooth, restoring its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Crowns protect teeth after root canals, cover large fillings, repair fractures, strengthen cracked teeth, and restore badly worn or decayed teeth. Made from durable porcelain or ceramic materials, crowns look and function like natural teeth—allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.

Restore Full Function

Chew comfortably and bite normally with teeth restored to full strength and proper shape.

Consultation & Tooth Preparation

Dr. Krinick examines your tooth, removes decay, and reshapes it to create space for the crown. Impressions are taken for custom fabrication.

Temporary Crown Placement

A temporary crown protects your tooth while the permanent crown is custom-made by a dental laboratory—typically 1-2 weeks.

Crown Fabrication

Master ceramists handcraft your custom crown to match your natural teeth in color, shape, and size.

Permanent Crown Placement

Your custom crown is permanently cemented, checked for proper fit and bite, and polished for a natural, comfortable result.

Crown Benefits

The Life-Saving Benefits of Dental Crowns

Dental crowns don't just fix teeth—they save them. Without a crown, damaged teeth continue breaking, decaying, and eventually require extraction. Crowns stop the damage, restore function, and preserve your natural tooth for decades.

Save your natural tooth by protecting it from further damage, decay, and eventual extraction
Restore full chewing function and eliminate pain from cracked, broken, or severely decayed teeth
Strengthen teeth after root canals, preventing fractures that would require tooth removal
Long-lasting results—dental crowns typically last 10-15+ years with proper care and maintenance
Natural appearance that blends seamlessly with your smile, looking like your original tooth

FAQs

Here are some common questions about dental crowns to help you understand better.

How long do dental crowns last?

Dental crowns typically last 10-15+ years with proper care. Lifespan depends on crown location, bite force, oral hygiene, and habits like grinding or chewing hard objects. Regular checkups, good brushing and flossing, and wearing a nightguard if you grind your teeth maximize crown longevity.

Is getting a dental crown painful?

No, the procedure is performed under local anesthesia so you won't feel pain. You may experience mild sensitivity for a few days after, which is manageable with over-the-counter pain relievers. Most patients return to normal activities immediately after the appointment.

What's the difference between a crown and a filling?

Fillings repair small to medium cavities by filling the hole. Crowns cover the entire tooth when damage is too extensive for a filling—large cavities, cracks, fractures, or after root canals. Crowns provide more strength and protection than fillings for severely compromised teeth.

Can dental crowns stain or discolor?

High-quality porcelain and ceramic crowns are highly stain-resistant and won't discolor like natural teeth. However, your natural teeth around the crown can still stain, creating a color mismatch. Avoiding staining substances (coffee, wine, tobacco) keeps your natural teeth matching the crown.

How much do dental crowns cost in Westchester?

Dental crowns typically cost $1,000-2,000 per tooth, depending on materials and complexity. Most dental insurance plans cover 50-80% of crown costs when medically necessary. During your consultation, Dr. Krinick provides transparent pricing and discusses financing options.
