At Azure Dental, led by Dr. Aditi Shah, we are committed to helping patients achieve a healthy, beautiful smile through high-quality dental care. One of our most popular restorative solutions is dental crowns—a versatile treatment designed to restore and protect damaged or weakened teeth. With cutting-edge technology and personalized treatment plans, we provide durable crowns that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, ensuring both comfort and aesthetics.

What Are Dental Crowns?

A dental crown is a custom-made "cap" placed over a tooth to restore its size, shape, strength, and appearance. It’s an excellent solution for teeth that are too damaged for a filling but still salvageable. Whether you have a cracked, decayed, or severely worn-down tooth, crowns provide protection and long-lasting results. Crowns can also be used to improve the appearance of discolored or misshapen teeth.

Common reasons you might need a dental crown include:

  • Protecting a weak tooth from further damage
  • Restoring a broken or significantly worn tooth
  • Supporting a tooth with a large filling
  • Attaching to a dental bridge
  • Covering a dental implant
  • Improving the appearance of a severely discolored or misshapen tooth

The Dental Crown Process at Azure Dental

At Azure Dental, we prioritize patient comfort and satisfaction throughout the dental crown procedure. Here’s what you can expect during your visits:

  1. Initial Examination & Tooth Preparation
    During your first appointment, Dr. Aditi Shah will assess the condition of your tooth and decide if a crown is the best option. After ensuring the tooth is healthy enough for a crown, we will prepare the tooth by reshaping it and taking precise digital impressions. These impressions help us create a custom-fit crown that matches the size, shape, and color of your natural teeth. We’ll place a temporary crown to protect your tooth while the permanent crown is being made.
  2. Permanent Crown Placement
    In your second visit, the permanent crown will be securely placed. Dr. Shah will ensure it fits comfortably and functions properly before cementing it in place. With the right care, your new crown can last for years, protecting your tooth and restoring your smile.
