What is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown, also known as a tooth crown, is a custom-made cap that is placed over a damaged or weakened tooth to restore its strength, function, and aesthetics.
Dental crowns cover the entire visible portion of the tooth, providing protection and support while resembling the natural appearance of a healthy tooth.

Types of Dental Crowns
There are several types of dental crowns available, each with its own unique characteristics. Dr. Huang will recommend the most suitable type of crown based on your specific needs. Common types of dental crowns include:
- Porcelain Crowns: Porcelain crowns are highly aesthetic and can be color-matched to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. They are a popular choice for front teeth restorations.
- Ceramic Crowns: Ceramic crowns offer excellent aesthetics and can mimic the translucency and luster of natural teeth. They are a durable and aesthetically pleasing option.
- Zirconia Crowns: Zirconia crowns are known for their exceptional strength and durability. They are highly resistant to chipping and can withstand biting forces, making them suitable for posterior teeth restorations.
Dental Crown Procedure
The dental crown procedure typically involves the following steps:
- Consultation: During your initial consultation with Dr. Huang, he will assess your oral health and discuss your concerns and goals. X-rays and impressions may be taken to evaluate the condition of your tooth and determine the most suitable treatment plan.
- Tooth Preparation: Before placing a dental crown, the affected tooth needs to be prepared. This involves removing any decay or existing filling material and shaping the tooth to create space for the crown.
- Impression: An impression of the prepared tooth is taken to create a precise mold. This mold serves as a blueprint for the dental laboratory to fabricate your custom crown.
- Temporary Crown: While your permanent crown is being crafted, a temporary crown will be placed over the prepared tooth to protect it and maintain its appearance.
- Crown Placement: Once your permanent crown is ready, you will return to our dental studio for its placement. Dr. Huang will ensure that the crown fits perfectly and looks natural. The crown is securely bonded to the tooth using dental cement, providing long-lasting results.
