What Is a Dental Crown?

A dental crown is a custom-made cap placed over a tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Crowns are commonly used in both restorative and cosmetic dentistry to:

  • Strengthen weakened teeth
  • Repair cracked, broken, or decayed teeth
  • Protect a tooth after a root canal
  • Improve the appearance of discolored or misshapen teeth
  • Complete a dental implant restoration
  • Anchor a dental bridge by replacing one or more missing teeth

Dental crowns are one of the most reliable and versatile solutions in modern dentistry, and at DentalPolitan, we make sure your crown looks natural, feels comfortable, and lasts for years to come.

Why You Might Need a Dental Crown

Dr. Kumar may recommend a crown in the following situations:

  • A tooth is fractured, severely worn, or structurally compromised
  • A large cavity or filling has left the tooth weak
  • Post-root canal treatment, where the tooth needs reinforcement
  • Aesthetic concerns, such as severe discoloration or irregular shape
  • Restoration of a dental implant with a custom crown
  • Support for a bridge replacing missing teeth

If you’re unsure whether a crown is right for you, we’ll perform a thorough evaluation and create a treatment plan tailored to your specific dental goals.

Our Crown Materials: Strength Meets Aesthetics

At DentalPolitan, we use only the highest-quality materials to ensure your crown not only restores function but also blends seamlessly with your natural teeth. We offer:

E.max Crowns

Made from lithium disilicate ceramic, E.max crowns are known for their strength and unmatched translucency. They are ideal for anterior restorations (front teeth) where esthetics matter most. E.max offers a natural, enamel-like appearance with excellent durability.

Zirconia Crowns

Zirconia crowns are fabricated from high-strength zirconium oxide, making them ideal for posterior restorations (back teeth), where durability and bite force resistance are essential. Zirconia is biocompatible and highly resistant to wear, offering both safety and longevity.

We’ll help you choose the material that best meets your needs based on tooth location, bite strength, and esthetic goals.

Our Crown Placement Process

We ensure your crown restoration is comfortable, precise, and tailored to you at every step:

Dr. Kumar will evaluate the affected tooth, assess your bite, and take digital images to plan your custom restoration.

A minimal amount of the tooth structure is gently reshaped to make room for the crown and ensure optimal fit and retention.

We use advanced digital scanning for precise, mess-free impressions. This allows for better-fitting, more accurate crowns.

Your crown is custom-designed in a lab to match the shape, size, and shade of your surrounding teeth. In some cases, temporary crowns are placed while the final crown is created.

The crown is securely bonded to your tooth or implant and adjusted to ensure natural bite alignment, function, and comfort.

The result? A fully restored, functional, and aesthetically enhanced tooth that feels as good as it looks.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Crowns

With proper oral hygiene and regular dental visits, dental crowns typically last 10–15 years or longer, depending on the material used and how well they are cared for.

E.max crowns are prized for their lifelike translucency and are ideal for front teeth due to their esthetics. Zirconia crowns offer superior durability, making them perfect for back teeth where chewing pressure is highest. Both are biocompatible and long-lasting.

The crown placement procedure is generally comfortable and minimally invasive. Local anesthesia is used, and many patients report little to no discomfort. For anxious patients, we offer sedation options and a relaxing environment to ensure a stress-free experience.

Most PPO dental insurance plans cover a portion of the cost for crowns, particularly when placed for restorative purposes. Our team will help you review your benefits and explore flexible financing options if needed.

  • Brush and floss daily
  • Avoid chewing hard objects (ice, pens, etc.)
  • Schedule regular cleanings and exams
  • Wear a nightguard if you grind your teeth

Good oral hygiene is key to maintaining both the crown and the health of the tooth beneath it.
