When a tooth is too damaged for a simple filling, a dental crown rebuilds it from the outside in. A crown is a custom “cap” that fits over the entire visible tooth, restoring its shape, size, strength, and appearance. At Dental Arts of Boston, every crown is designed to look and feel like the tooth it replaces. A crown may be the right choice if you have a tooth that is:

Not all crowns are the same, and your dentist will help you choose the material that best fits the tooth’s location and your goals. All-ceramic and porcelain crowns (including e.max and zirconia) are prized for the way they mimic the translucency of natural enamel, making them ideal for teeth that show when you smile. For molars that take heavy chewing force, your dentist may recommend an especially strong ceramic for maximum durability.
Getting a crown usually takes two visits. We prepare the tooth, capture a precise digital impression, and place a temporary crown while your custom restoration is crafted. At your second visit, we fit and bond the final crown, checking your bite carefully so it feels completely natural.

With proper care, a well-made crown can last many years — often a decade or longer. Brushing, flossing, regular checkups, and a nightguard if you grind your teeth all help your crown last as long as possible.
Yes. We match the shade, shape, and translucency of your crown to your surrounding teeth using high-quality ceramics. For front teeth especially, the goal is a result no one can tell apart from your natural smile.
The tooth is fully numbed during preparation, so the appointment is comfortable. Some mild sensitivity afterward is normal and fades quickly. Let us know if you’re nervous — we’ll make sure you’re at ease.
