Custom Dental Crowns to Restore Your Smile
When teeth become damaged, worn down, or weakened, it can affect your ability to chew, speak, and smile comfortably. Dental crowns offer a strong and natural-looking way to rebuild your tooth’s shape, strength, and appearance. We create custom dental crowns in West Jordan designed to blend in beautifully with your natural teeth, helping you regain full confidence in your smile.
A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap that covers the entire visible portion of a tooth. It provides protection, enhances appearance, and restores function. Whether you need to repair a broken tooth or complete a dental implant, crowns are a reliable, long-lasting solution.
Dental crowns may be recommended in a variety of situations, depending on your dental health and the condition of your tooth. You might need a crown if you have:
- A tooth that’s cracked, chipped, or broken.
- A severely worn-down or weakened tooth.
- A large filling that needs added support.
- A discolored or misshapen tooth you’d like to improve.
- A tooth that has undergone root canal treatment.
- A dental implant that requires a protective restoration.
Crowns don’t just restore looks—they reinforce your bite and prevent further damage, making them an important part of long-term oral care.
Receiving a dental crown is a straightforward process, typically completed over two visits. Here’s a breakdown of what you can expect from start to finish:
During your first visit, your dentist will assess the tooth and determine if a crown is the most suitable treatment. If necessary, X-rays may be taken. The tooth is then carefully reshaped to make room for the crown while preserving as much of the healthy structure as possible.
After shaping the tooth, an impression is made to ensure your crown fits perfectly with your bite. This impression is sent to a trusted dental lab where your permanent crown is custom-crafted. In the meantime, a temporary crown is placed to protect your tooth.
Once your new crown is ready—usually within 1 to 2 weeks—you’ll return for the second appointment. Our oral health clinic in West Jordan will remove the temporary crown, check the fit and colour of the permanent one, and bond it securely with dental cement.
Your crown will be adjusted for a natural bite and comfortable fit. Once placed, your crown functions just like a natural tooth, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with ease.
