It fully encases the visible portion of the tooth above the gumline, restoring its original shape, size, strength, and appearance. Crowns are one of the most versatile restorative treatments in dentistry — they can be used for a wide variety of dental situations.
Our Boca Raton dentists commonly recommend dental crowns for patients who have:

A dental bridge is a fixed prosthetic device used to replace one or more missing teeth. It literally "bridges" the gap between two remaining teeth (called abutment teeth), using them as anchors to support one or more artificial teeth (called pontics) in between.

A dental crown is a cap that covers and protects a single damaged or weakened tooth. A dental bridge is used to replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring an artificial tooth (or teeth) between two crowns placed on the adjacent natural teeth. Crowns restore existing teeth; bridges replace missing ones.
With proper oral hygiene and regular dental checkups, dental crowns typically last 10–15 years, and many last even longer. Dental bridges have a similar lifespan of 10–15 years. Zirconia and porcelain-fused-to-metal options tend to be especially durable.
Modern crowns and bridges are custom-shaded to match the color and translucency of your natural teeth, making them virtually indistinguishable from real teeth. Porcelain and zirconia restorations are particularly natural-looking.
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so you should not feel pain during the treatment. Some mild sensitivity or soreness around the treated tooth is normal for a few days after the appointment and typically resolves on its own.
Yes, in most cases. A tooth that has had a root canal is more brittle and susceptible to fracture. Placing a dental crown after a root canal protects the tooth and significantly extends its lifespan.
Yes. Once your bridge is permanently cemented, you can eat most foods normally. We recommend avoiding extremely hard or sticky foods (like ice, hard candy, or caramel) to protect the restoration and the supporting teeth.
Both are excellent options, but dental implants are generally considered the gold standard for replacing a single missing tooth because they preserve bone and don't require altering adjacent teeth. However, a bridge may be preferred when implants are not suitable or when a faster, more affordable solution is needed. Our team will help you evaluate the best option during your consultation.
The cost depends on the number of teeth involved, the material chosen, and your specific clinical needs. Many dental insurance plans cover a portion of crown and bridge costs when they are deemed medically necessary. We offer financing options and will provide a detailed estimate at your consultation. Call us at (561) 486-4669 to learn more.
Good candidates for a dental crown include patients with a cracked, broken, severely decayed, or root-canal-treated tooth, or those seeking to improve the shape or appearance of a misshapen tooth. A thorough exam at our Boca Raton dental office will determine if a crown is the right solution for you.
