Crowns

Restore Your Smile with Dental Crowns

A dental crown is a custom-made cap that covers a damaged, weakened, or severely decayed tooth. At Atlantic Smiles, we create crowns that look and feel like your natural teeth while providing the strength and protection you need.

Crowns are one of the most versatile restorative treatments we offer. Whether you've had a root canal, suffered a crack or fracture, or simply have a tooth worn down over time, a crown can bring back full function and appearance.

When You Might Need a Crown

We may recommend a crown if you have:

• A tooth weakened by a large filling or decay
• A cracked or broken tooth
• A tooth that has had root canal therapy
• Severe wear from grinding or age
• A dental implant that needs a visible tooth replacement
• Cosmetic concerns with shape, size, or color

What to Expect

Getting a crown typically takes two visits. During your first appointment, we'll prepare the tooth by removing any decay and shaping it to fit the crown. We'll take precise impressions and place a temporary crown to protect your tooth while your permanent crown is being crafted.

At your second visit, we'll remove the temporary crown and carefully fit and cement your new permanent crown. We'll make sure your bite feels comfortable and natural before you leave.

Built to Last

With proper care—regular brushing, flossing, and dental checkups—your crown can last 10 to 15 years or longer. We use high-quality materials that resist staining and wear, so your crown will continue to look great for years to come.
