A dental crown is a custom-made cap that covers the entire visible surface of a tooth to restore its shape, strength, and appearance. At Smilecraft Dental, Dr. Brar uses tooth-colored porcelain and ceramic crowns matched so closely to your surrounding teeth that most people cannot tell the difference. Crowns protect teeth damaged by decay or fracture and are placed after root canal therapy to prevent future breakage.
Dr. Brar walks you through every step before any work begins. You will know what the procedure involves, what it costs, and what your insurance covers before you commit to anything.

The Process
What to expect
Exam and imaging
X-rays assess the underlying tooth structure and root health. If decay is present, it is removed before the crown is prepared. We walk you through the full plan and your cost estimate before any preparation begins.
Tooth preparation and temporary crown
The tooth is reshaped under local anesthetic to create space for the crown. Impressions are taken and sent to a dental lab. You leave the same day with a well-fitting temporary crown.
Crown fabrication
Your permanent crown is crafted by a dental lab over 10 to 14 days. The lab matches the shade, shape, bite, and surface texture to your surrounding teeth.
Permanent placement
The temporary is removed and the permanent crown is checked for fit and color. Once everything looks and feels right, it is cemented permanently. We verify your bite and make any final adjustments before you leave.

Common Questions
Frequently asked
The general rule is that when decay or damage affects more than half the tooth structure, a crown is the more durable long-term solution. A very large filling in a compromised tooth is prone to fracture over time. Dr. Brar will show you the X-ray and explain the reasoning before recommending either.
