Dental Crowns at The Bellport Village Dentist

We need our teeth to eat properly, so when one is damaged it can take a toll on your day-to-day life. In order to continue to protect your teeth and overall well-being, it is important to repair damaged teeth. At our office, dental crowns are utilized to perform the following:

Cover dental implants
Prevent a cracked tooth from becoming worse
Restore an existing filling in jeopardy of becoming loose or dislocated

Looking for an improved appearance for your smile? When applied to discolored or stained teeth needing restoration, dental crowns provide the appearance of natural teeth.

Dental Crown Aftercare

Once your dental crown is in place, it is important to maintain proper care of your teeth. While a crown has restored a tooth, it doesn’t mean the tooth is indestructible. With proper care, a good quality crown can last up to eight or more years. Remember to brush and floss the area of the crown daily to avoid excess plaque buildup or collection of debris around the restoration. It is also important to pay attention to other behaviors that might damage the dental crown. These behaviors often include jaw clenching or bruxism (teeth grinding). Try to avoid eating brittle foods, ice or hard candy as well. In doing so, the adhesion of the crown can be compromised or damaged. Contact The Bellport Village Dentist today to learn about dental crowns in our office and how this restoration procedure might be able to restore the appearance and functionality of your smile.

Benefits of Dental Crowns

Restores Proper Function

Dental crowns fully restore your ability to bite, chew, and speak without discomfort. When a tooth is weakened by decay, fracture, or after a root canal, it may no longer function properly. A crown acts like a protective cap, reinforcing the tooth’s structure and allowing you to enjoy your favorite foods again—without worry.

Enhances Appearance

Crowns are custom-made to closely match the color, shape, and size of your surrounding teeth, making them nearly indistinguishable from your natural smile. Whether you're repairing a damaged front tooth or covering a severely discolored tooth, a crown offers a cosmetic upgrade that improves your overall appearance and boosts self-confidence.

Strengthens and Protects

A crown acts as a shield for teeth that are cracked, worn down, or weakened due to large fillings or decay. It holds the tooth together, preventing further breakage or damage. This is especially important after root canal therapy, where the natural tooth structure may become brittle.

Long-Lasting Durability

Crowns are designed to withstand the daily pressures of chewing and grinding. With proper oral hygiene and regular dental checkups, a well-maintained crown can last anywhere from 10 to 15 years or longer. Materials like porcelain fused to metal, zirconia, and gold alloy offer exceptional strength and longevity.

Personalized, Comfortable Fit

Each crown is carefully crafted based on precise dental impressions, ensuring a snug and comfortable fit. This tailored design allows the crown to align naturally with your bite, preventing irritation, jaw strain, or discomfort while eating or speaking. It becomes a functional part of your smile—feeling as natural as your original tooth.

The Dental Crown Process

We begin with a full examination, including X-rays, to assess the condition of your tooth and discuss the best treatment plan for your needs.

To ensure a proper fit, the tooth is gently reshaped. We then take detailed impressions to guide the creation of your custom crown.

While your permanent crown is being fabricated in the lab, we place a temporary crown to protect your tooth and maintain function.

Once your custom crown is ready, it is carefully fitted, adjusted for comfort, and permanently bonded—restoring both form and function.
