Dental Crowns
A damaged or decayed tooth can be painful and unsightly, but a custom dental crown can help protect your tooth and restore your oral function.
Explore how our dental experts at NÜVA Smile can help you achieve a healthier, more attractive smile with dental crowns in New Jersey.
What Is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown is a porcelain “shell” that covers all parts of a tooth visible above the gumline. Porcelain crowns are designed to look, feel, and function like natural teeth to address issues such as:
A dental crown can strengthen and protect a damaged tooth while preserving its structure. It also improves the appearance of your smile by concealing cracks, chips, and deep stains.
During a root canal, an opening is made in the tooth to remove tooth decay and infected tissue. Following treatment, a dental crown is used to fortify the tooth and protect it from further harm.
If you're missing a single tooth, a porcelain dental crown paired with a dental implant can permanently fill in the gap and restore the function of your smile.
For patients with several consecutive missing teeth, we can place a dental bridge, which uses dental crowns to anchor the artificial teeth in place.
Dental Implants: The Gold Standard for Tooth Replacement
Dental implants offer numerous unique benefits. They are the only treatment in dentistry that can stop the jawbone deterioration that occurs when teeth are lost, as well as the only solution for replacing teeth from root to crown.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Crowns
Q. Why not pull damaged or decayed teeth instead?
A. Even a single missing tooth can cause your other teeth to shift, and it can cause jawbone deterioration as well. Whenever possible, it is best to preserve the tooth structure to prevent the need for more extensive dentistry treatments, like orthodontics or dental implants.
Q. How long will a dental crown last?
A. With proper care and maintenance, a porcelain dental crown from our NJ dentists can last for up to 15 years or more. However, it will wear over time and will eventually need to be replaced.
Q. What is the difference between a crown and a tooth cap?
A. There is no difference! A “cap” is simply an older term for a dental crown. You can refer to them either way, and our dentists will know what you're talking about.
Q. What do I do if my dental crown comes loose or falls out?
A. Your dental crown will be bonded into place with a safe and durable dental cement. However, if the crown becomes loose or falls out, try to find and preserve it, and then contact us immediately. If the crown is not damaged, your dentist may be able to bond it back into place.
