Dental Crowns

Restore, Reinforce, and Reimagine Your Smile

Dental casting is like putting a tough helmet on a weak, cracked, or heavily restored tooth to preserve structure and function while trying to restore the natural appearance of the tooth. At Summit Village Dental, we create custom-made crowns that are strong, aesthetically pleasing, and durable.

Protection, bite, and confidence for the damaged.

What Is a Dental Crown?

Crowns are custom-made caps placed completely over damaged or weakened teeth. It restores the tooth by giving it the shape, size, strength, and appearance, and simultaneously prevents further decay or breakage. Crowns are widely recommended for cases when:

  • Teeth are broken or worn-down badly
  • Protection is needed post-root canal treatment
  • Large fillings leave only a thin layer of tooth left
  • Misshapen or discolored teeth

Types of Dental Crowns We Offer

At Summit Village Dental, we provide crowns made from top-grade materials:

1. Zirconia Crowns

  • These crowns are very strong and have the most natural appearance.
  • They are best suited for back teeth, especially in high-bite pressure areas.
  • Zirconia crowns last really long and do not stain.

2. All-Ceramic Crowns

  • They are the most aesthetic and preferred for front teeth.
  • Free of metal and biocompatible

3. PFM Crowns

  • Inexpensive and dependable
  • Porcelain slightly less translucent than all-ceramic

4. Metal Crowns (Gold/Alloy)

  • Extremely durable
  • Good for molars (areas that are not visible)

Benefits of Dental Crowns

  • Conserves natural tooth structure
  • Protects against further damage or fracture
  • Restores ordinary function so that the patient can chew, speak, and smile freely
  • Improves overall dental health

FAQs

1. How long do crowns last?  
     On average, crowns can last about 10–15 years if taken care of well.

2. Would a crown look like a natural tooth?
    Shade, shape, and size matching will be done so that the crown will blend beautifully with your own natural tooth.

3. Would the procedure feel painful?
     Such treatment is always pain-free because of the local anaesthetics.

4. Can a crown fall off?
    Probably not. But if it ever does come loose, it is very easy to re-cement or replace.

5. Are crowns better than fillings?
  Heavily compromised teeth will have a better shield and last longer with crowns than with large fillings.
