What Are Dental Crowns?

Dental crowns—often referred to as “caps”—are custom restorations that fully cover the visible portion of a tooth above the gum line. They are used to protect, restore, or enhance teeth that have been weakened, damaged, or cosmetically compromised.

Crowns can be made from a variety of materials, including porcelain, ceramic, metal, or a combination. At Westlake Dental Care, we primarily use porcelain crowns for their natural look, durability, and ability to match the shade of your surrounding teeth.

When Are Crowns Recommended?

You may be a candidate for a dental crown if you have:

A severely decayed or broken tooth
A tooth that has had a root canal
A cracked or weakened tooth that needs reinforcement
A discolored or misshapen tooth you want to improve
A need for support as part of a dental bridge
A dental implant that requires a functional, aesthetic cap

What to Expect During the Crown Procedure

Getting a dental crown typically involves two visits:

First Visit – Exam and Preparation:

The dentist examines your tooth and confirms that a crown is the best solution.
The tooth is cleaned, reshaped, and prepared for the crown.
Impressions are taken and sent to a dental lab to fabricate your custom crown.
A temporary crown is placed to protect your tooth.

Second Visit – Placement and Final Fit:

The temporary crown is removed.
Your new crown is carefully fitted, adjusted, and permanently cemented.
Final bite checks are made to ensure comfort and proper alignment.

Caring for Your Dental Crown

With proper care, crowns can last 10–15 years or longer. To protect your investment:

Brush and floss daily, paying special attention around the crown.

Visit us regularly for cleanings and check-ups.

Avoid biting hard objects (like ice or pens) and sticky foods that could damage or loosen your crown.
