Restore the strength and beauty of your teeth with custom dental crowns.
A dental crown is a custom-made cap that is placed over a damaged or decayed tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. At Opal Family Dental, we use high-quality materials to create durable and natural-looking crowns that will protect your tooth and enhance your smile.

The dental crown process typically takes two visits to our office. Here’s what you can expect:
During your first visit, we will prepare your tooth for the crown. This involves removing any decay and shaping the tooth to make room for the crown. We will then take an impression of your tooth, which will be used to create your custom crown. A temporary crown will be placed on your tooth to protect it while your permanent crown is being made.
During your second visit, we will remove the temporary crown and place your permanent crown. We will check the fit and bite of the crown to ensure that it is comfortable and looks natural. Once you are happy with your new crown, we will cement it in place.
With proper care, dental crowns can last for many years. It is important to brush and floss your teeth regularly and to visit your dentist for regular checkups.
If you have a damaged or decayed tooth, a dental crown may be the perfect solution for you. Contact Opal Family Dental today to schedule a consultation.
