Dental Crowns: Strengthen and Protect Damaged Teeth

Dental Crowns are the solution to many dental problems. If you have a tooth that’s cracked, worn, or weakened by decay, a dental crown can restore its strength, shape, and appearance. Crowns fit snugly over your natural tooth—protecting it from further damage while blending seamlessly with your smile.

You don’t have to live with sensitivity, discomfort, or worry about breaking a tooth while eating. With a custom dental crown, you can chew, smile, and speak with confidence again.

What Is a Dental Crown?

A dental crown is like a protective cap that fits over a tooth to restore its shape, strength, and appearance.
Crowns are custom-made to match your other teeth, so they blend in beautifully—and they allow you to
chew, speak, and smile with confidence.

At TLC Dental Care, we offer a variety of crown options to fit your needs, your bite, and your budget.

We have also invested in modern digital scanning that makes the process fast, clean, and comfortable.

Why Might You Need a Crown?

You may need a crown if you have:

• A tooth that’s cracked, chipped, or broken
• A cavity that’s too large for a filling
• A misshapen or discolored tooth
• A tooth that has had a root canal
• A dental implant that needs a natural-looking top
• A desire to improve your smile as part of a cosmetic makeover
• A tooth that’s worn down from grinding

Crowns can also be used to anchor dental bridges, replace large fillings, and
protect weak teeth from breaking.

What Types of Crowns Do We Offer?

Different patients have different needs—and different teeth have different jobs.
Dr. Cribbs will help you choose the best crown based on the tooth's location, your bite, and your budget.

• Strong and durable

• Metal underneath for strength (ideal for back teeth)

All-Ceramic (All-Porcelain) Crowns

• No metal—just beautiful, translucent ceramic
• Best choice for front teeth or cosmetic zones
• Great for patients with metal allergies

Gold Crowns

• Ultra-strong and long-lasting
