Arrange a visit ↗Understanding porcelain crowns.
A crown covers a tooth and may be recommended when a smaller restoration is not appropriate. At LB Dental, the conversation includes the condition of the tooth, the surrounding teeth, and what the restoration needs to do in everyday life. We explain why a crown is being considered and what alternatives may be available.
What we can discuss.
- A tooth with substantial damage or an existing large restoration
- A tooth needing restoration after other dental treatment
- The shape, shade, and bite of a proposed crown

A LITTLE MORE CLARITY
Your questions, answered.
Is a crown always necessary for a damaged tooth?
No. Depending on the damage, a filling or another approach may be considered. An examination is needed to decide.
Can a crown look natural?
Shade and shape are part of planning. Discuss your expectations and the surrounding teeth with your dentist.
Are crowns completed in one visit?
Ask the practice about the timing for your case. The number of appointments depends on the proposed treatment.
