Words From a Happy Patient
“Everyone is helpful and professional. All questions are answered and you leave feeling great!”
What Is the Cost of a Dental Crown?
The cost of crowns can vary greatly depending on the total amount of dental work needed. While some dental insurance providers will cover porcelain dental crowns, others may not. We can work with you to help you understand the cost of your treatment and how to make it fit comfortably within your budget. We also accept financing to help patients cover costs.
What Are the Benefits of Porcelain Dental Crowns?
Cosmetic and Restorative Improvement
Sometimes it’s not enough for a dental restoration to serve a practical function. A procedure that restores the natural beauty of a smile can go a long way toward building a patient’s confidence and self-esteem. For this reason, we'll create a crown that's aesthetically pleasing.
Durable and Natural Looking
Traditionally, dental crowns have been made of metal alloys such as gold and nickel. While these metals are strong and durable, they draw the eye. Porcelain dental crowns, on the other hand, mimic the appearance of tooth enamel and are highly durable.
Effective Treatment for a Range of Problems
If you have suffered extensive dental decay or trauma or have a misshapen tooth, a custom dental crown can restore the balance, comfort, functionality, and appearance of your smile.
Find Out If a Dental Crown Can Restore Your Smile
A dental crown, or cap, is a tooth-shaped prosthetic that can be placed over a tooth extensively damaged by trauma or decay. It can restore normal chewing function and the appearance of your smile. A crown can also be used to anchor a dental bridge or replace a missing tooth in conjunction with a dental implant. Take a look at the ways a dental crown can help our Troy, Birmingham, and Bloomfield patients restore their smiles:
A root canal infection can damage and weaken a tooth. After root canal therapy, our dentists can place a crown to strengthen and support the tooth so it can withstand the daily pressure caused by chewing and biting.
If you are missing a single tooth, we can place a dental implant in the jawbone to replace the tooth root. A single crown can then be secured to the dental implant, restoring the health and appearance of the smile.
If you suffer from extensive tooth decay or have large fillings that need replacement, a dental cap may be the best treatment option. Because a cap encases a tooth, it can provide support and help maintain its structure.
Dental injuries, such as a chipped or fractured tooth, can be treated with a dental cap. While small chips and cracks on the front teeth can be addressed with veneers, more extensive injuries require crowns.

The Crown Procedure
Step-by-step
Thanks to our use of advanced technology, the entire treatment process can be completed in a single appointment, without the need for a temporary crown.
Local Anesthetic
To ensure your comfort, your Troy dentist will administer local anesthetic to numb the treatment area. For patients undergoing multiple treatments or full mouth reconstruction, we also offer IV sedation.
Prepare the Tooth
Prior to placing a crown, we will remove any decayed tissue or treat root canal infections. We will also remove some tooth structure from the perimeter of the tooth to make room for the crown.
Digital Impressions and Design
Next, we will take digital impressions of the tooth and design a crown that offers a precise fit, restores the tooth, and looks natural. We can tailor the shade, size, and shape of the crown to complement your unique features and look as natural as possible.
Fabrication
While you wait in our comfortable Troy office, we will fabricate the crown out of a single block of dental porcelain. Because we craft the crown on the same day, there is no need for a temporary crown or second appointment.
Placing the Custom Crown
The final step is to secure the custom crown to your tooth using strong and durable dental resin. With proper care, the dental crown and resin can last 15 years or more.
Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Crowns in Troy, MI
Will my crown feel like a natural tooth?
Yes. Once your dental crown is placed, it should feel just like a natural part of your bite. Most patients adjust quickly and forget it's even there. Our team uses digital tools to ensure a precise fit and comfortable function from day one.
How long will my dental crown last?
With proper care, most crowns can last 10-15 years or longer. Longevity depends on your oral hygiene, diet, and whether you grind your teeth. We will offer personalized advice to help extend the life of your crown.
Can I eat normally after my crown is placed?
Absolutely. Once your crown is securely bonded and the anesthetic wears off, you can return to eating most foods. We do recommend avoiding eating sticky or extremely hard foods with your crown as these foods can damage it or pull it out of place.
What materials are dental crowns made of?
We primarily use high-grade porcelain for its durability and natural appearance. However, depending on your goals, we may also recommend zirconia or ceramic. Each material is selected to match your smile and meet your preferences.
Do I need to do anything special to care for my crown?
Caring for a crown is similar to caring for a natural tooth. Brush and floss daily, and attend regular dental checkups. If you clench or grind your teeth at night, we may suggest a custom night guard to protect your restoration.
