Dental Crowns
Restore Strength, Function, and Beauty to Your Smile
At Garden Dental Studio, we understand how important a strong, healthy smile is to your confidence and overall well-being. If you have a tooth that’s damaged, weakened, or worn down, a dental crown may be the perfect solution to restore its function and appearance.
Dental crowns—also known as caps—are custom-made restorations that cover the entire visible surface of a tooth. They’re designed to protect, reinforce, and enhance teeth that can’t be fixed with a filling alone. Whether you’re dealing with decay, a fracture, or a cosmetic concern, crowns offer durable, long-lasting results that look and feel natural.
What Is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cover made from materials like porcelain, ceramic, metal, or a combination of these. It’s placed over an existing tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Crowns are carefully crafted to match your natural teeth in color and contour, ensuring a seamless fit within your smile.
Crowns are often recommended when a tooth:
- Has a large cavity or filling that weakens its structure
- Is cracked, broken, or worn down
- Has undergone root canal treatment
- Is misshapen or severely discolored
- Needs support as part of a dental bridge or implant restoration
The Dental Crown Process
Getting a dental crown typically involves two visits:
- Tooth Preparation: We start by numbing the area and gently reshaping the tooth to make space for the crown. Then, we take a digital or physical impression to ensure a perfect fit. A temporary crown is placed to protect your tooth while your custom crown is being made.
- Final Placement: At your second visit, we remove the temporary crown and place your custom crown, checking the fit and bite before bonding it permanently in place. The result is a natural-looking, durable restoration that blends beautifully with your surrounding teeth.
Types of Crowns We Offer
At Garden Dental Studio, we use high-quality materials to ensure your crown is strong, long-lasting, and aesthetically pleasing. Depending on your needs and the location of the tooth, we may recommend:
- Porcelain or Ceramic Crowns – Ideal for front teeth, offering a natural appearance
- Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM) Crowns – A balance of strength and aesthetics
- Zirconia Crowns – Extremely durable and suitable for back teeth under heavy chewing forces
- Gold Crowns – Long-lasting and ideal for patients who value strength over appearance in non-visible areas
We’ll discuss your options and help you choose the best material based on function, durability, and cosmetics.
Caring for Your Crown
Dental crowns don’t require special care, but maintaining good oral hygiene is essential. Brush twice a day, floss daily, and avoid biting down on hard objects like ice or pens. Regular dental visits allow us to monitor your crown and the surrounding teeth, ensuring everything stays healthy.

Dental crowns do more than just fix teeth—they restore confidence, comfort, and peace of mind. Whether you’re dealing with pain, sensitivity, or simply want to improve your smile’s appearance, we’re here to help with personalized care and lasting solutions.
