Key Takeaways

Dental crowns protect and restore teeth that are damaged, decayed, or weakened.

At Stauffer Dental Associates, your crown will be custom-matched to blend in naturally with your smile.

The dental crown procedure is completed in two visits with a focus on comfort and precision.

After having a dental crown placed, it is important to practice proper aftercare, such as avoiding hard or sticky foods, brushing gently with a soft-bristled brush, and contacting your dentist if the crown becomes loose.

What are Dental Crowns?

Dental crowns – also known as “caps” – are custom-made restorations that completely cover and protect a damaged or compromised tooth. At Stauffer Dental Associates, our crowns are crafted from durable, tooth-colored materials to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. Crowns not only restore function and prevent further damage, but also enhance the look of your smile.

When Is a Dental Crown Needed?

Dr. Stauffer may recommend a dental crown if you have:

  • A tooth with a large cavity or old filling

  • A cracked, worn down, or broken tooth

  • A tooth that has undergone root canal treatment

  • A discolored or misshaped tooth that needs cosmetic enhancement

  • A missing tooth being replaced with a dental bridge

No matter the reason, our team at Stauffer Dental Associates will walk you through the process and ensure you feel confident in your care.

The Dental Crown Procedure

Getting a crown at Stauffer Dental Associates is typically completed in two visits:

  1. Preparation: We gently shape the tooth, take impressions, and place a temporary crown to protect it.

  2. Placement: Once your permanent crown is ready, we bond it into place and adjust it for a perfect fit and bite.

We focus on comfort, precision, and quality at every step—because you deserve a smile that feels as good as it looks.

Caring for Your Dental Crown

With proper care, your crown can last 10–15 years or longer. To protect your investment, we recommend:

  • Brushing and flossing daily

  • Avoiding chewing hard objects like ice or pens

  • Scheduling regular cleanings at Stauffer Dental Associates

Our team will give you personalized aftercare tips to keep your crown and surrounding teeth in excellent shape.
