What Is a Dental Crown and When Do You Need One?

Dental crowns are one of the most common and effective restorative treatments in modern dentistry. At the office of Dr. Monica Morgan in Tampa, we use high-quality, natural-looking crowns to restore strength, function, and aesthetics to damaged or weakened teeth.

What Is a Dental Crown?

A dental crown is a custom-made cap that fits over a tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. It fully encases the visible portion of the tooth above the gumline.

When Do You Need a Dental Crown?

You might need a dental crown if:

  • You have a tooth with a large cavity that can’t be filled

  • Your tooth is cracked, broken, or severely worn down

  • After root canal therapy to protect the remaining tooth structure

  • You need to support a dental bridge

  • You want to improve the appearance of a discolored or misshapen tooth

Types of Dental Crowns

Dr. Morgan offers several crown materials, including:

  • Porcelain or ceramic: Great for front teeth, offers a natural look

  • Zirconia: Strong and esthetic, ideal for back teeth

  • Porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM): Durable with good aesthetics

The Crown Placement Process

  1. Initial exam and tooth preparation

  2. Impressions for a custom-fit crown

  3. Temporary crown while your final one is made

  4. Final placement and adjustments
