If you’re unhappy with your smile due to damaged teeth, Dr. Ian Smith will restore its health and appearance. He’s an experienced dentist with many years of continuous training, which allows him to place dental crowns safely and effectively.
Experience the Benefits of Dental Crowns
A dental crown is a cap that’s used to cover broken, damaged, or missing teeth. It’s made of strong, porcelain material to replicate the look and feel of a natural tooth.
In the past, many dental practices used metal crowns to restore teeth. However, dentists such as Dr. Smith now use porcelain crowns that blend in flawlessly with your smile and don’t contain any harmful chemicals that some metal crowns consist of.
The Dental Crown Process
Porcelain crowns can be used for a variety of reasons, and each one is custom made to match the shape, size, and color of your existing teeth. We recommend scheduling a consultation with Dr. Smith so he can determine if you need a dental crown.
This restoration may be a good option for you if your tooth needs to be:
- Strengthened — if a large portion of your tooth has been affected by a root canal or major filling, a crown can be used to build the tooth back up.
- Replaced — when a tooth needs to be extracted or is already missing, we’ll place crowns over the teeth adjacent to the missing one to support the crown in the middle. They can also replace unattractive metal crowns.
- Restored — broken, cracked, chipped, or even discolored teeth will be restored when they’re covered with beautiful porcelain crowns

How much do dental crowns cost?
The cost of dental crowns depends on a variety of factors. These include your insurance provider, why you need a crown, and how many you’re receiving.
