Crowns

Restoring Strength and Beauty to Damaged Teeth

Dental crowns are custom-made restorations designed to fully cover a tooth that has been weakened, broken, or structurally compromised. Whether you're dealing with a large cavity, a fractured tooth, or the aftermath of a root canal, crowns help reinforce the tooth while restoring its natural look and function.

At Ironwood Dental, we provide high-quality dental crowns that not only protect but also seamlessly match the aesthetics of your smile. Our crown treatments are crafted with precision and care to ensure lasting durability and comfort.

Why are Dental Crowns needed?

When Is a Dental Crown Needed?

You may benefit from a dental crown if you’re experiencing:

  • Cracked or fractured teeth
  • Decay too extensive for a standard dental filling
  • Protection after root canal therapy
  • Worn or weakened teeth due to grinding or aging
  • Misshapen or severely discolored teeth
  • Support for a dental bridge

Crowns are also often part of a full mouth reconstruction, especially in cases where multiple teeth are damaged or missing.

Who is a candidate for Dental Crowns?

Types of Crowns We Offer

We customize crowns using a variety of durable materials to match your specific needs:

  1. Porcelain or Ceramic Crowns
    Ideal for front teeth, these offer a natural appearance and are color-matched to your surrounding enamel.

  2. Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM)
    Combines aesthetics with strength, making it a versatile option for both front and back teeth.

  3. All-Metal Crowns
    Known for durability, these are suitable for molars where appearance isn’t as critical.

Zirconia Crowns
Highly durable and metal-free, zirconia offers strength and biocompatibility for patients with metal sensitivities.

The Dental Crown Procedure

Receiving a dental crown typically involves two appointments:

  1. Tooth Preparation and Impression
    The tooth is shaped, and a digital scan or impression is taken using intraoral cameras and digital scanning technology.

  2. Crown Placement
    Once the custom crown is created, it is securely bonded in place, restoring the tooth’s strength, shape, and function.

Temporary crowns may be placed while the final one is fabricated.
