Restore and Protect Your Smile With Dental Crowns
"Professional and friendly staff. No pain, nada! Low key, no lecturing. Dentist does the cleaning. The cleaning was fast, detailed and, again, no pain. I love my Spearmint!"

Damaged or worn-down teeth can affect how you chew, speak, and smile. Dental crowns are a great way to restore the strength, shape, and appearance of your tooth. At our Spearmint Dental & Orthodontics we offer custom-made crowns that look and feel just like natural teeth, helping you smile with confidence again.
A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap that covers the entire visible part of a tooth. It's used to protect weak teeth, fix broken ones, or improve the appearance of a tooth. Crowns are strong, long-lasting, and designed to match the color of your natural teeth.
Steps To Getting A Dental Crown
Getting a dental crown is a simple process that usually takes two visits. Here’s what you can expect:
Exam and Preparation: Your dentist will begin by examining your tooth to ensure a crown is the right solution. X-rays may be taken if necessary. To prepare for the crown, the tooth is gently reshaped to allow proper fitting.
01
Impressions: An impression of your tooth is taken to create a custom crown that fits precisely. This mold is sent to a dental lab for fabrication. In the meantime, a temporary crown is placed to protect your tooth.
02
Crown Placement: Once your permanent crown is ready—typically within 1–2 weeks—you’ll return for placement. The dentist will remove the temporary crown, check the fit and color of the new one, and securely bond it in place with dental cement.
03
Final Adjustments: Your dentist will make final adjustments to ensure the crown fits comfortably with your bite. Once complete, your tooth is fully restored, and your smile looks and feels great!

Why You Might Need a Dental Crown
Your dentist may suggest a crown if you have:
- A cracked or broken tooth
- A large filling that requires additional support
- A tooth that is worn down or weakened
- A misshapen or discolored tooth
- A tooth that has undergone a root canal
- A dental implant that needs a protective cover
