Dental Crowns in New York, NY
Repair cracked, worn, or decayed teeth with crowns made to match the shape, color, and strength of your natural teeth.
Cover and protect a damaged tooth
A dental crown is a custom cap that covers the visible portion of a tooth. It restores strength to cracked, broken, or heavily restored teeth while improving the tooth's shape and appearance.
Dr. Min designs each crown to blend with the surrounding teeth and fit comfortably within the bite. The material is chosen based on the tooth's location, function, and cosmetic demands.
Porcelain, zirconia, and other options
Crowns are made from materials such as porcelain, zirconia, and porcelain-fused-to-metal. Anterior teeth often benefit from all-ceramic crowns for appearance, while posterior teeth may need zirconia for strength.
Dr. Min will recommend a material based on the tooth's position, the amount of force it must handle, and your cosmetic preferences.
From preparation to final crown
A crown typically takes two visits. The first visit prepares the tooth and places a temporary crown. The permanent crown is then crafted in a dental lab and cemented in place at the second visit.
