Dental Crowns
A dental crown is a durable, custom-made cap designed to restore the strength, function, and appearance of a damaged or compromised tooth.

Porcelain crowns are known for their durability and can last 10 to 15 years, sometimes longer, with proper care. To maximize your crown’s lifespan, it’s important to maintain good oral hygiene, avoid biting on hard objects, and attend regular dental check-ups.
Getting a crown is a comfortable process, especially with the advanced tools and gentle approach at Chapman Dentistry. Dr. Chapman ensures your procedure is pain-free, often with the help of local anesthesia. If needed, comfort amenities like blankets and TVs can help you relax further during your appointment.
A crown is generally better than a filling when the damage or decay in your tooth is extensive. While fillings are ideal for small cavities, crowns provide full coverage and reinforcement for teeth that are cracked, weakened, or have undergone root canal therapy.
Treat your crown like your natural teeth by brushing twice a day, flossing daily, and using non-abrasive toothpaste to prevent surface wear. Regular dental check-ups at Chapman Dentistry will ensure your crown stays in good shape and functions properly.
Yes, a crown is often placed on top of a dental implant to serve as the visible part of your replacement tooth. Using precise technology, Dr. Chapman designs implant-supported crowns to blend naturally with your surrounding teeth while restoring full function and beauty.
