A dental crown, sometimes called a cap, is a tooth-shaped restoration placed over a damaged tooth. Once bonded into place, it covers and protects the visible part of the tooth, restoring its strength and appearance.
At Charming Smiles, we shade-match every crown to your natural teeth so the result looks beautiful. With routine care, your new crown can last for many years.
Crowns protect, restore, and beautify in many situations. Here are the most common reasons we recommend one.
Cover a broken, cracked, or worn tooth and bring back its strength and shape.
Protect and strengthen a tooth after root canal treatment so it can last for years.
Reshape an uneven or stained tooth for a brighter, more balanced smile.
Crowns on neighboring teeth hold a bridge securely in place to fill a gap.
"Your smile is the reason for everything we do. With advanced technology and a personalized approach, we'll help you achieve your healthiest, happiest smile—without the stress."

When a tooth is missing, it leaves a gap that can affect your bite, your speech, and how your face looks over time. A dental bridge is a custom-made restoration that fills the gap, using your neighboring teeth or implants as support.
Crowns and bridges usually take two comfortable visits. Here is how the full process works at Charming Smiles.
We numb the area and gently shape the tooth so your new restoration fits beautifully.
A precise impression is sent to our lab so your crown or bridge is made just for you.
You leave with a temporary in place that protects the tooth while your final piece is crafted.
At your next visit, we bond your final crown or bridge so you can enjoy the result right away.
With good oral hygiene and regular checkups, crowns and bridges can last for many years. Caring for them just like your natural teeth helps protect that investment.
No. We use local anesthesia so you stay completely comfortable. Most patients find the visit easy and stress-free.
Most crowns and bridges require two appointments. We prepare the tooth and take an impression first, then place your final restoration once it returns from our lab.
A crown covers a single damaged tooth. A bridge fills the space left by a missing tooth, using neighboring teeth or implants to support the replacement.
Brush twice a day, floss daily, and keep up with your routine checkups. Treat your restoration just like a natural tooth and it will serve you well for years.
Crowns are designed to handle normal chewing for many years. Avoid biting hard items like ice or pen caps to keep your restoration looking and feeling great.
Many insurance plans cover part of the cost. We are happy to verify your benefits and give you a clear estimate before treatment.
