A dental crown covers and strengthens a damaged tooth — giving you lasting function and a natural look.
If you have a cracked, worn, or severely decayed tooth, a dental crown is often the best way to restore its strength and appearance. At Gold Star Dental, we create high-quality, natural-looking crowns that protect your tooth and blend in beautifully with your smile.
Also known as a “cap,” a crown fits over the entire visible part of your tooth. It restores its shape, size, and strength while improving how it looks and functions. Whether you’re protecting a tooth after a root canal, covering a large filling, or fixing a broken tooth, a crown is a reliable and long-lasting solution.
We may recommend a crown for several reasons, including:
Getting a crown typically takes two visits. At the first appointment, we prepare the tooth by removing any decay and shaping it for the crown. We’ll take a digital scan or impression, then place a temporary crown to protect the tooth while your permanent one is being made. At your second visit, we’ll cement the final crown in place and make sure it fits comfortably with your bite.
We offer several crown materials depending on your needs and preferences:
We’ll walk you through the pros and cons of each so you can choose the right crown for your situation.
With proper care, crowns can last 10–15 years or longer. Brushing, flossing, and regular checkups will help extend their lifespan. We’ll also keep an eye on your crown at every cleaning to ensure it stays in excellent shape.

If a tooth is too damaged or decayed to support a filling, a crown is often the better choice. It protects the entire tooth structure and helps prevent further damage or fractures.
Yes. Once placed, your crown will look and feel like a natural tooth. Most patients forget they even have one after a short adjustment period.
Zirconia and metal crowns are the most durable. Zirconia offers strength with a tooth-colored look, while metal crowns (like gold) are often chosen for back teeth that take more bite force.
