Restore Strength, Function & Beauty to Damaged Teeth
A damaged or weakened tooth doesn’t always need to be removed. At The Dental Lounge, we restore compromised teeth with custom-crafted dental crowns designed to protect, strengthen, and enhance your smile.
Dental crowns — often referred to as “caps” — fully cover a damaged tooth to restore its shape, size, and functionality. Whether your tooth is cracked, severely decayed, worn down, or has undergone root canal treatment, a dental crown can provide long-term protection while blending seamlessly with your natural teeth.
Our practice combines advanced technology with precise craftsmanship to deliver crowns that look natural, feel comfortable, and last for years.
What is a Dental Crown and When is It Needed
A dental crown is a custom-made restoration that fits securely over a damaged tooth. It reinforces the remaining structure and prevents further breakdown while restoring proper bite alignment.
You may need a dental crown if you have:
- A cracked or fractured tooth
- Severe tooth decay
- A large filling that weakens the tooth
- A tooth treated with a root canal
- A worn-down tooth from grinding
- A dental implant that requires a final restoration
At The Dental Lounge, we carefully evaluate your oral health to determine if a crown is the best solution for restoring strength and function.
