Who it’s for
- A cracked or broken tooth
- A large old filling that's failing
- A tooth worn down from grinding
What happens
- Visit 1: we numb the tooth, shape it and take an impression.
- You leave with a temporary crown that looks and works like a tooth.
- Visit 2, usually a couple of weeks later: the permanent crown goes on.
- We check the fit and your bite, adjust it, and cement it.
Does it hurt?
You're numb for the shaping. Most people go back to work the same day.
Aftercare
Skip sticky foods on the temporary side until the permanent crown is in.

Questions people ask
Cracked or broken: what's the difference?
Broken usually means a piece is missing. Cracked means the tooth is split but still in one piece, and a crack can spread.
What if I just ignore a broken tooth?
It won't heal. Sharp edges cut your tongue, food gets trapped, and decay or infection can follow. Fixing it early costs less.
How many visits does a crown take?
Two, about two weeks apart.
Is a crown cosmetic?
No. It's what keeps a damaged tooth from becoming an extraction.
