A dental crown, also known as a cap, covers a tooth to restore it to its normal shape and size, thereby strengthening and improving its overall appearance.
A crown may be recommended to cover and support a tooth with a large filling. A crown can be used to attach a bridge, protect a weak tooth from breaking, or restore one that is already broken.
There are three main types of dental crowns. Each designed for different applications. Metal gold crowns are particularly suitable for posterior teeth exposed to heavy chewing forces.
Porcelain or ceramic crowns, offer excellent aesthetic results and closely match the appearance of natural teeth. They blend seamlessly in with your smile.
Finally, Porcelain fused to metal (PFM) crowns combine the strength of metal with the cosmetic appeal of porcelain. This type of crown is often recommended for load-bearing teeth that are visible when you smile.

I had two gold crowns and one gold filling done at Aspire Dental by Dr. Darcy Kawamoto yesterday (March 2nd, 2022). She explained everything she was doing as she was working one me so there were no surprises to me. She is very gentle, adjusted the crowns multiple times before cementing them down to ensure the prefect fit. It was a great experience.
Dr. Kawamoto and the staff at this location are AMAZING! Finding a dentist I can trust has been hard for me, and Dr. K made me feel at ease right away. I came to this office after receiving a recommendation from another practice for 3 crowns and a root canal. I explained this to Dr. K, and she went the extra mile to review my X-rays and found that I only needed to replace an old filling. She was very personable and gave me a dental treatment plan that didn't break the bank. The office is brand new with state of the art equipment. My boyfriend is even switching over to this office because of my awesome experience. They accept most insurance - I highly recommend coming to Aspire Dental!
Friendly staff!! Cant wait to finally get that smile we all deserve!
