Restore Form & Function
In cases of a moderate to severely degraded tooth structure, a fully encompassing porcelain crown is an excellent solution. Damage can be caused by acid erosion, decay, fractures or trauma, and excessive bite forces on teeth that can leave your teeth in a state of poor health, pain, or sensitivity.
A porcelain crown will fully encompass your tooth, forming a strong seal around the gumline and restoring your tooth to its original strength and function while also eliminating pain and sensitivity.
At Smileworks Dental, we use high-quality porcelain that is carefully matched to the shade of your natural teeth, ensuring your crown blends seamlessly with your smile.

Lasting Results
The crown process typically requires two appointments. At the first visit, we prepare the tooth, take digital impressions, and place a temporary crown. At the second appointment, we cement the custom permanent crown in place.
We ensure the crown fits with precision — checking your bite and making any necessary adjustments before you leave. With proper care, a porcelain crown can last 10-15 years or longer.
Crowns are also used to cover dental implants, protect teeth after root canal treatment, and as anchors for dental bridges. Our team will walk you through all your options and help you choose the best approach for your situation.

When Do You Need a Crown?
A dental crown may be recommended when: a tooth is severely decayed and cannot be restored with a filling alone; a tooth is cracked or fractured; a tooth has been weakened by a large existing filling; following root canal treatment to protect the tooth; or to cover a dental implant.
We will always discuss whether a crown is truly necessary and explain the reasoning behind our recommendation. Where possible, we prefer more conservative restorations — a crown is recommended only when it is genuinely the best long-term solution.
If you are experiencing tooth pain, sensitivity, or have noticed a cracked or broken tooth, contact us promptly. The sooner we assess the tooth, the more treatment options may be available to you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does getting a crown hurt? The crown preparation appointment uses local anesthesia so you will feel nothing during the procedure. Some mild sensitivity of the prepared tooth is common while wearing a temporary crown, and this resolves once the permanent crown is placed.
Can a crown fall off? Crowns are designed to be permanent, but they can loosen over time, especially if decay develops underneath. If your crown feels loose or falls off, contact us right away — do not try to re-cement it yourself.
How do I care for a crown? Brush and floss around a crown just as you would a natural tooth. Be mindful of biting very hard foods or ice. Regular checkups allow us to monitor your crown and catch any issues early.
