What Is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown — sometimes called a “cap” — is a tooth-shaped covering that’s placed over a damaged or decayed tooth to restore its strength, shape, and appearance. It’s most commonly used when a tooth:
Has a large cavity that can’t be filled
Is fractured or worn down
Has undergone root canal treatment
Is misshaped or severely discolored
Needs to anchor a dental bridge
At Bright Value Dental, we offer crowns made from:
Porcelain (most natural-looking)
Porcelain-fused-to-metal (stronger for molars)
Zirconia (extremely durable and aesthetic)
Gold or metal alloys (rare, but very long-lasting)
What to Expect During the Procedure
Getting a dental crown typically takes two visits:
1. First Visit – Tooth Preparation
Dr. David Yu will gently remove any decayed or damaged portions of the tooth, shape it to support a crown, and take digital impressions. You’ll receive a temporary crown to wear while your permanent one is custom-crafted at the lab.
2. Second Visit – Crown Placement
Once your crown arrives, we’ll ensure the fit is perfect, then securely bond it in place. The result? A strong, beautiful restoration that feels and functions like a natural tooth.
