About Our Dental Crowns

Dental crowns, also known as “caps,” are restorations that cover and protect the entire visible surface of a damaged or compromised tooth. They’re often used to reinforce teeth that are cracked, worn down, or structurally weakened by decay or large fillings. At Barounis Dental, we use high-quality, tooth-colored materials such as porcelain or zirconia to ensure your crown looks and feels just like your natural tooth.

The process typically involves two visits. During the first, we prepare the tooth, take digital impressions, and place a temporary crown. A trusted dental lab then creates your custom crown, designed for a precise fit and seamless match to your smile. At your second visit, we bond the permanent crown securely in place—restoring full function and aesthetic appeal. With proper care, your crown can last 10–15 years or more.

Common Reasons You May Need a Crown:

  • A cracked or fractured tooth
  • Severe decay that can’t be treated with a filling alone
  • Protection after a root canal
  • Replacement of a large, failing filling
  • Covering a misshapen or discolored tooth
  • As part of a dental bridge or implant restoration

FAQ

FAQs

Answers to your frequently asked questions.

What is a dental crown made of?

We use high-quality materials like porcelain, zirconia, or porcelain-fused-to-metal, chosen for durability and a natural appearance that blends with your smile.

Does getting a crown hurt?

No—your tooth will be numbed during the procedure, and most patients experience little to no discomfort. Any post-treatment sensitivity is typically mild and temporary.

How long does a dental crown last?

With good oral hygiene and regular checkups, a crown can last 10–15 years or even longer.

Will the crown match my natural teeth?

Yes! We carefully color-match your crown to your existing teeth so it looks seamless and completely natural.
