Dental Crowns in Brooklyn and Pomona, NY

If a tooth has more extensive tooth decay, a dental crown may be the ideal aesthetic and functional restorative solution for the damaged tooth. Dental crowns can also restore a cracked tooth, broken tooth, or a tooth weakened by a large filling or root canal. Choosing to have a crown placed can preserve the natural tooth, which is always the goal as preserving the natural teeth with dental crowns helps maintain the supporting bone structure and stability of the surrounding and adjacent and surrounding teeth. A dental crown is often the best solution when a dental filling is not enough to restore tooth damage.

All dental crowns created in our dental lab are milled using CAD/CAM technology for precision and the highest quality. We offer same day crowns as well as all ceramic crowns and porcelain crowns, providing metal free options that blend seamlessly with your natural smile. Porcelain material is considered the gold standard in cosmetic dentistry because it mimics the translucency and color of a real tooth. For patients who prefer traditional options, metal crowns are also available, particularly for back teeth where durability is essential.

The first step in the dental crown procedure is to take a dental impression that will be used to make a model of the teeth and bite.  This allows the tooth crown to be made to look and function like your natural tooth.  The affected tooth will then be prepped, with the decayed areas being removed. An impression of the prepped tooth will be made so that the final crown will fit properly when it is placed. Our cosmetic dentist uses advanced technology to ensure your new tooth fits comfortably with your other teeth and bite.

Sometimes the final crown can be placed using same day crowns but other times a temporary crown will be placed while your permanent crown is being created in our dental laboratory. During your second appointment, the temporary crown is removed and your new restoration is securely bonded to the existing tooth. Crowns often have several advantages including providing a natural appearance and last a lifetime with proper care and oral hygiene.

In cases of missing teeth, dental crowns can be used alongside dental implants or dental bridges to replace missing teeth and restore your dental health. Whether you need a dental crown for the front teeth or back teeth, our dental team will recommend the best solution for your needs.
