A dental crown, also known as a cap, covers a tooth to restore it to its normal shape and size, thereby strengthening and improving its overall appearance.
A crown may be recommended to cover and support a tooth with a large filling. A crown can be used to attach a bridge, protect a weak tooth from breaking, or restore one that is already broken.
There are three main types of dental crowns. Each designed for different applications. Metal gold crowns are particularly suitable for posterior teeth exposed to heavy chewing forces.
Porcelain or ceramic crowns, offer excellent aesthetic results and closely match the appearance of natural teeth. They blend seamlessly in with your smile.
Finally, Porcelain fused to metal (PFM) crowns combine the strength of metal with the cosmetic appeal of porcelain. This type of crown is often recommended for load-bearing teeth that are visible when you smile.

My visit was for my 6th-month dental hygiene care, which was with Teri. And everything was fine, she did a wonderful job. But I had a problem of a chipped crown, and Dr. Daniel Tan graciously agreed to smooth the jagged corner since there was a chair vacant. My visit was most appreciated and pleased, but I am so sad that Dr. Tan will be retiring by the end of this year! Thanks to all the staff for today’s visit!
Very short wait for my appointment. Office is clean and neat. Staff are friendly and professional. I returned today expecting to have a crown replaced (crown done elsewhere). Dr. Reimann stayed that I could have fillings placed instead, saving me nearly $800!!! He did not recommend more than was necessary. His staff are all friendly and very professional! Thank you Dental Faculty Associates!
Teeth cleaning today-excellent job, also my crown on a tooth with root canal broke off, have appt tomorrow with specialist to pull root & install post for implant. Thanks for your help.
I've been a patient of Dr. Gilbert Dupper for over a decade and have been very satisfied. He's done good work for me in the past (including repairing and replacing fillings, creating new fillings, and creating a crown), and I've never had any issues. The longest I've ever sat in the waiting room is 5 minutes. The staff is courteous and professional, and I am happy to recommend this office.
