What Exactly Is a Dental Crowns?

Think of a dental crown as a helmet for your tooth: a custom-made cap that fits snugly over a damaged, weakened, or unattractive tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Crowns fully encase the visible portion of the tooth above the gum line, offering both protection and aesthetic improvement.

At Atlantic Dental Partners, we utilize high-quality materials, including porcelain, ceramic, zirconia, and porcelain-fused-to-metal, to craft strong and beautiful crowns. With the proper care, your crown can last for many years, blending so naturally with your smile that no one will even know it’s there

Why Getting a Dental Crown Isn’t Just Cosmetic — It’s Crucial

A dental crown isn’t only about making your tooth look better and saving it from future damage. When a tooth is cracked, heavily filled, or weakened after a root canal, it risks breaking beyond repair. A crown acts as a protective barrier, sealing and strengthening the tooth so it doesn’t fracture or require extraction later.
Many patients delay getting a crown because the tooth “doesn’t hurt yet.” However, waiting can lead to more complex and expensive treatments, such as root canals, extractions, or implants. Getting a crown at the right time can prevent emergencies, preserve your natural tooth, and maintain your bite and jaw alignment.
At Atlantic Dental Partners, we don’t just place crowns; we ensure you understand why they’re necessary, which material is best for you, and how they will protect your oral health in the long term.

Getting a dental crown should be a comfortable and rewarding experience, not stressful. Here’s how we make the process seamless at Atlantic Dental Partners:
You’ll walk out with a fully restored smile that’s strong, functional, and stunning.

Types of Crowns We Offer

Not all crowns are created equal. We offer a range of options to meet every clinical need and aesthetic preference:

All-ceramic or porcelain crowns are the top choice for restoring front teeth due to their exceptionally lifelike appearance. These crowns closely mimic the natural translucency of enamel, making them virtually indistinguishable from surrounding teeth. Ideal for aesthetic purposes, they offer an incredibly natural look while providing good strength for teeth that don’t undergo heavy biting forces. Because they contain no metal, these crowns are also highly biocompatible, making them a great choice for those with sensitivities. Their color can be customized to match the shade of your natural teeth perfectly.

Zirconia crowns are extremely strong and durable, making them an excellent option for molars and back teeth that withstand heavy chewing forces. These crowns are crafted from a ceramic material called zirconium oxide, known for its resilience and natural-looking finish. Zirconia offers functionality and aesthetics, providing strength comparable to metal crowns while being highly resistant to wear and fractures. Additionally, they are more biocompatible than metal crowns, reducing the risk of irritation and providing a more comfortable solution for patients.

Porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) crowns combine the best of both worlds, offering strength and aesthetics. These crowns feature a metal base for durability and support, while a porcelain outer layer ensures a natural look. The metal foundation makes them more resilient and ideal for back teeth that endure significant pressure from chewing. PFM crowns are a popular choice for patients who need a strong yet aesthetically pleasing option. While the porcelain provides a lifelike appearance, the metal ensures stability, particularly for those with heavier bite forces.

Gold crowns are the gold standard for durability and strength, especially for patients with strong biting forces. Known for their long-lasting wear, gold crowns are ideal for molars and back teeth, where strength is a priority. Although they may not blend seamlessly with natural teeth, their exceptional durability makes them perfect for areas that experience the most pressure. Gold crowns are highly resistant to wear and rarely cause sensitivity issues. Though less common for front teeth due to their visible color, they are an excellent choice for function over aesthetics.

During your consultation, we’ll recommend the best material based on your tooth’s location, bite, and cosmetic goals.

Not Just a Fix: A Long-Term Investment in Your Smile

When it comes to your teeth, quick fixes don’t last, but a well-placed dental crown does. It’s more than just a repair; it’s a strategic investment in your oral health.
Every tooth is crucial to your bite, speech, and overall confidence. Untreated, a weakened or damaged tooth can disrupt your entire bite, leading to headaches, jaw pain, additional dental work, and increased costs in the future.
A dental crown helps protect your oral health today, preventing bigger problems tomorrow. It restores what’s broken, preserves what’s healthy, and stabilizes the entire foundation of your smile comfortably and naturally.
At Atlantic Dental Partners, we don’t just restore teeth, we restore peace of mind.

FAQs

With proper care, crowns can last between 10 and 15 years, sometimes even longer, depending on materials and oral hygiene habits.

Absolutely. We carefully match your crown to the color, shape, and contour of your natural teeth for a seamless, lifelike appearance.

The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so you’ll remain comfortable. Mild sensitivity after placement is a standard occurrence and typically fades quickly.

Maintain excellent oral hygiene, avoid chewing complex objects like ice, and visit us regularly for cleanings and exams to keep your crown in top shape.

While the crown can’t decay, the natural tooth underneath is still vulnerable. Good brushing, flossing, and routine dental care are essential.
