Durable, Well-Fitted & Natural Looking

With over 60 years of combined experience in dentistry, including a dentist who is specialty-trained in this area, we at Northwood Dental will provide you with a crown that is well-fitted and long-lasting. This includes getting the crown that is right for you. Various types of crowns can be used, including all-metal and all-porcelain crowns.

All-porcelain crowns

Traditional porcelain crowns are made with porcelain covering a metal shell. The metal provides strength and support for the porcelain which gives it a natural appearance. All-porcelain, also called "all-ceramic" crowns, use a ceramic shell instead of a metal shell to support the porcelain.

With advances in technology, these all-porcelain crowns can be used in a variety of situations. The doctors at Northwood Dental will complete a thorough examination and listen to your desires to determine which type of crown is best suited for you.

When would I need a crown?

A crown, or cap, is a custom-made dental restoration which protects the underlying tooth. You may need a crown because of:

Extensive tooth decay
Large metal or tooth-colored fillings, that weaken the remaining tooth
Broken or cracked teeth
A tooth that has had root canal therapy
A misaligned or misshaped tooth
Teeth that have large fillings that are breaking down and cannot be refilled

Before and after

This patient received crowns that are porcelain fused to metal.

This patient received all-porcelain crowns on their upper front teeth.

The above patient received a full smile makeover using crowns.

This patient's smile was restored using multiple crowns.

Sometimes a crown is not the optimum solution and other dental procedures such as porcelain veneers, inlays or onlays (restorations that are fitted to a cavity in a tooth and bonded in place) or dental bonding are more appropriate.
