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 teeth can impact your ability to chew, speak, and smile comfortably. Dental crowns offer an excellent solution to restore the strength, shape, and appearance of your tooth. At Spearmint Dental & Orthodontics, we provide custom-crafted crowns that look and feel just like your natural teeth, helping you regain your confident smile.
A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap that covers the entire visible portion of a tooth. It protects weakened teeth, repairs broken ones, and enhances the overall appearance. Crowns are durable, long-lasting, and carefully matched to blend seamlessly with your natural tooth color.
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 start by thoroughly examining your tooth to confirm that a crown is the best treatment option. If needed, X-rays will be taken. The tooth is then carefully reshaped to create enough space for the crown to fit properly.
01
Impressions: A detailed impression of your tooth is taken to craft a custom crown that fits perfectly. This mold is sent to a dental lab for fabrication. Meanwhile, a temporary crown is placed to protect your tooth until the permanent one is ready.
02
Crown Placement: When your permanent crown is ready—usually within 1 to 2 weeks—you’ll come back for the fitting. The dentist will remove the temporary crown, ensure the new crown fits well and matches your tooth color, then firmly bond it in place using dental cement.
03
Final Adjustments: Your dentist will fine-tune the crown to ensure it fits comfortably with your bite. Once the adjustments are complete, your tooth is fully restored, and your smile looks and feels natural and healthy!

Why You Might Need a Dental Crown
Your dentist may suggest a crown if you have:
- A tooth that is cracked or broken
- A large filling needing extra reinforcement
- A weakened or worn-down tooth
- A tooth that is misshapen or discolored
- A tooth treated with a root canal
- A dental implant requiring a protective crown
