When Are Dental Crowns The Best Solution?
Dr. Sam Saadat begins every consultation with a comprehensive examination and digital imaging to assess your tooth’s condition and determine the most appropriate treatment. Dental crowns are often recommended when a tooth needs significant protection or restoration, including situations such as:
- →A tooth that’s been severely damaged by decay or trauma
- →Root canal treated teeth that need additional protection and strength
- →Cracked or fractured teeth that are at risk of further damage
- →Cosmetic enhancement of misshapen, discolored, or worn teeth
- →Support for large fillings when there isn’t enough natural tooth structure remaining
This careful evaluation process ensures that you receive the treatment that will best preserve your oral health and give you lasting results.
Long-Term Benefits of Quality Dental Crowns
A well-made dental crown isn’t just about fixing today’s problem, it’s an investment in your smile’s future health and appearance. Crowns provide essential protection that helps prevent further damage, decay, and potential tooth loss. They restore your ability to chew comfortably and speak clearly while maintaining proper bite alignment throughout your mouth. With proper care, high-quality crowns can last 15-20 years or more, making them one of the most reliable solutions for damaged teeth. Our patients consistently report improved confidence in their smile and relief from the discomfort that brought them to our office.

Our Dental Extraction Process
01.
Comprehensive Evaluation
We start with a thorough examination using digital X-rays and intraoral cameras to assess the tooth’s condition and surrounding structures. Dr. Saadat will explain why a crown is the best option for your situation and discuss material choices, timeline, and what to expect throughout treatment.
02.
Precise Tooth Preparation
Using gentle techniques and local anesthesia, we carefully reshape the tooth to create an ideal foundation for your crown. Our conservative approach removes only the damaged portion of the tooth while preserving as much healthy tooth structure as possible for optimal long-term strength.
03.
Impression and Design
We use advanced digital scanning technology combined with traditional impression materials to capture precise measurements of your prepared tooth and surrounding teeth. This comprehensive impression process ensures we have all the details needed to design a crown that fits perfectly and matches the natural contours and color of your existing teeth.
04.
Fabrication and Placement
We’ll place a comfortable temporary crown to protect your prepared tooth while your permanent crown is custom-crafted by our skilled lab technicians, typically taking 1-2 weeks for completion. When your permanent crown is ready, you’ll return for final placement where we ensure perfect fit, bite, and aesthetics before permanent cementation.
Crown Materials: Choosing What’s Right for You
The choice of crown material depends on several factors including the tooth’s location, your bite pattern, aesthetic preferences, and budget considerations. Dr. Saadat will help you understand the benefits of each option to make an informed decision:
Porcelain Crowns All-ceramic crowns offer the most natural appearance and are ideal for front teeth where aesthetics are paramount. They’re biocompatible, stain-resistant, and can be matched precisely to your natural tooth color. These crowns work exceptionally well for patients with metal sensitivities and provide excellent results in the smile zone.
Zirconia Crowns Known for their exceptional strength and durability, zirconia crowns are perfect for back teeth that experience heavy chewing forces. They offer excellent longevity while still providing good aesthetic results. Zirconia is also metal-free, making it an excellent choice for patients who prefer biocompatible materials.
Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM) This time-tested option combines the strength of metal with the natural appearance of porcelain. PFM crowns are particularly suitable for back teeth where maximum durability is needed, and they offer a reliable, cost-effective solution that has been successfully used for decades.
At Newbury Smiles, we take time to explain each option thoroughly so you can choose the material that best meets your functional needs, aesthetic goals, and budget requirements.
