What Is a Dental Crown?

A dental crown is a custom-made restoration that completely covers a damaged or weakened tooth. Often called a "cap," a crown restores the tooth's shape, strength, appearance, and function while protecting it from further damage.

Dental crowns are commonly used when a tooth is too damaged for a filling but can still be saved. At W Plus Dental, we use high-quality ceramic and porcelain crowns that closely mimic the appearance of natural teeth.

Signs You May Need a Dental Crown
Many patients are unsure whether they need a filling, crown, or another restorative treatment. Dr. John Ku will evaluate your tooth and recommend the most conservative option that provides a predictable long-term result.
1. Large Cavities
When too much tooth structure has been lost due to decay, a filling may no longer provide adequate support.
2. Cracked, Broken, or Chipped Teeth
Cracks and chips can weaken a tooth and increase the risk of fracture. Dental crowns can restore teeth that have experienced significant fractures or wear and prevent further damage.
3. After a Root Canal
Teeth that have undergone root canal treatment often become more brittle and benefit from the added protection of a crown.
4. Replacing Old Fillings
Large silver fillings can weaken teeth over time and may eventually need to be replaced with a crown.
5. Cosmetic Improvements
Crowns can improve the appearance of severely discolored, misshapen, or damaged teeth.
If you're experiencing any of these symptoms, scheduling a dental exam can help prevent the problem from becoming more serious.

The Dental Crown Process

01

Examination and Treatment Planning

Dr. John Ku will examine your tooth and take digital X-rays to determine whether a crown is the best treatment option.

02

Tooth Preparation

The damaged or weakened portion of the tooth is carefully prepared to create space for the crown.

03

Custom Crown Fabrication

We use modern digital technology to capture highly accurate impressions for a precise fit. Your crown is custom-made to match the shape, size, and color of your natural teeth.

04

Crown Placement

Once your crown is ready, it is securely bonded into place and adjusted for optimal comfort and function.
