What is a Dental Crown? Restoring Your Tooth's Strength and Beauty

A dental crown, often referred to as a "cap," is a custom-made restoration that completely covers a tooth to restore its original shape, size, strength, and appearance. It is one of the most reliable and versatile treatments in dentistry, providing a long-term solution for a wide range of dental problems. At Meadowbrook Dental Care, we use crowns to bring damaged teeth back to full health and function, protecting them for years to come.

You may need a dental crown at our practice in Long Island if you have:

A tooth that is severely broken, cracked, or worn down.
A tooth that has undergone root canal therapy needs protection.
A tooth with an extensive filling that has compromised its structure.
A misshapen or severely discolored tooth that needs cosmetic improvement.
A need to anchor a dental bridge.
A dental implant that needs its final tooth restoration.

The CEREC® Advantage: Your Permanent Crown in a Single Visit

The traditional process for getting a dental crown used to require at least two appointments spread over several weeks. At Meadowbrook Dental Care, we have invested in advanced CEREC® CAD/CAM technology to revolutionize this experience. For the vast majority of our patients, we can design, create, and place your permanent, high-quality ceramic crown in one single, convenient visit.

Our modern, one-visit process eliminates the frustrations of the past. There are no messy, goopy putty impressions; we use a clean, comfortable digital scanner. There is no need to wear an unreliable temporary crown for weeks; you leave our office with your final, durable restoration securely in place. This state-of-the-art technology allows us to deliver a perfectly fitting, beautiful crown with unparalleled precision and a profound respect for your valuable time.

Your Dental Crown Questions Answered

How long do dental crowns last? With proper oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups, a well-made crown can last for 15 years or more. We use high-strength materials, such as porcelain and zirconia, specifically for their durability and longevity.
What is the difference between porcelain and zirconia crowns? Both are excellent, metal-free options. Porcelain offers the most natural, lifelike translucency, making it ideal for front teeth. Zirconia is known for its exceptional strength, making it a fantastic choice for molars that endure heavy chewing forces.
Does the process of getting a crown hurt? No. The entire procedure is performed under effective local anesthesia to ensure the tooth and surrounding area are completely numb. Your comfort is our top priority.
How is a same-day CEREC® crown different from a traditional lab-made one? The primary difference is convenience and precision. A CEREC® crown is digitally designed and milled in our office in about two hours. A traditional crown requires an outside lab and takes about two weeks. Because the CEREC® process is fully digital, it often results in a more precise fit than one made from a physical impression.
