Porcelain dental crowns replace the exterior portion of a tooth to re–establish its original function and to create a natural appearance. Crowns are the treatment of choice in situations where tooth decay has destroyed most of the original tooth, when a traumatic event has caused damage, or in cases of severe enamel erosion.
They are also an option for people who grind and clench their teeth so much that the original structure of their teeth has been compromised. If you can benefit from any of these, you are a dental crown candidate. They aim to:
Choosing dental crowns comes with a host of advantages that go beyond just restoring your teeth. Here’s why dental crowns can be the right choice for you:
You can regain the full functionality of your tooth.
Dental crowns are designed to fully replace the external portion of a damaged tooth, down to the gum level. They not only strengthen damaged teeth but also bring back their full functionality. With crowns, you can confidently bite into your favorite foods without worry.
Your tooth will get a natural, beautiful look.
Our porcelain crowns are true masterpieces. They’re carefully designed to mimic the natural appearance of your teeth. Plus, we can customize them to match the color and shape of your existing teeth, ensuring your smile remains as beautiful as ever.
Dental crowns are built to last.
Porcelain crowns are known for their durability. They’re tough and resilient, making them a smart investment for long-term dental health. With proper care, your crown can keep your smile looking great for many years.
They are suitable for a variety of needs.
Dental crowns are incredibly versatile. Whether you’re dealing with severe decay, trauma-related damage, or enamel erosion, crowns can come to the rescue. They’re not just for fixing teeth; they’re also great for enhancing your smile’s appearance.
Choosing crowns means you’re opting for a conservative approach.
We believe in preserving as much of your natural tooth structure as possible. Dental crowns offer a conservative restoration option by protecting your teeth while maintaining their strength and integrity.

Both inlays and onlays offer the advantage of strengthening the tooth’s integrity while preserving as much natural tooth structure as possible—a conservative approach to dental restoration. Here’s how they are different:
Inlays are dental restorations placed within the grooves between the cusps (points) of a tooth. They are ideal for addressing a tooth that requires reinforcement due to a large filling. Inlays are made to fit precisely within the tooth’s contours, offering a snug and secure restoration.
Onlays, on the other hand, provide a broader coverage area than inlays. They extend not only within the grooves but also over the cusp tips of a tooth. This makes them an excellent choice for teeth that need additional support due to their size or extensive damage. Similar to inlays, onlays can be custom-made to match the natural color of your tooth, ensuring a seamless and aesthetically pleasing appearance. Beyond their cosmetic benefits, onlays contribute to the durability and longevity of the tooth’s structure.

Porcelain crowns and veneers are both popular options for enhancing your smile. Many patients usually decide between these two for their restorative needs. So, which should you choose?
The great benefit of porcelain crowns is that they can not only replicate the original tooth in function but they can also be designed to look like the original—or even better. When patients select porcelain veneers for cosmetic reasons, they’re usually covering up the front portion of the tooth that has some aesthetic flaw. A porcelain crown is thicker than a veneer, and, in some situations, this thickness is needed. A porcelain crown can be used for cosmetic reasons.
Crowns and veneers are situated and secured in the mouth similarly, using a light-sensitive resin placed between the original tooth and crown and then hardening that resin with a special curing light.
