Dental Crowns That Look Natural and Last
Protect cracked, broken or heavily filled teeth — and teeth treated with a root canal — with a custom crown matched to your smile. Sedation available for anxious patients.
Available at both offices
When You Need One
Rebuild and Protect a Weak Tooth
A dental crown covers the entire visible part of a tooth down to the gum line. It restores the shape, strength and appearance of teeth weakened by cracks, fractures, large cavities or a root canal.
When a large filling wears down, the tooth underneath is exposed to bacteria and can break. A crown seals and protects the whole tooth to prevent further decay or damage — and it can also close small gaps or change the color of a tooth.
Traditional crowns usually take two appointments: the tooth is prepared and a temporary crown placed, then the permanent crown is bonded once it is made.
Materials
Types of Dental Crowns
Dr. Gorman will recommend the material that best balances strength and appearance for the tooth.
Most natural
Ceramic & zirconia
Tooth-colored, shade-matched to neighboring teeth and very durable — the most popular choice.
Strong & natural
Porcelain-fused-to-metal
A strong metal base with a porcelain surface; the dark edge can sometimes show at the gum line.
Most durable
Metal
Gold or other alloys last for many years and are ideal for back teeth, but do not match tooth color.

Questions & Answers
Dental Crowns FAQ
How long do dental crowns last?
With good oral hygiene, crowns commonly last 10 to 15 years or longer.
Is getting a crown painful?
The tooth is numbed with local anesthesia, and nitrous oxide, oral or IV sedation is available for anxious patients. Most patients feel little or nothing.
How many appointments does a crown take?
Usually two: one to prepare the tooth and place a temporary crown, and one to place the permanent crown.
How much does a dental crown cost?
Crowns typically cost $1,000 to $1,800 per crown. Most dental plans cover part of a crown when it is medically necessary, and our team will help you use your benefits.
