What Are Dental Crowns?

A dental crown is a custom-made "cap" that completely covers a damaged or broken tooth. Crowns restore teeth that have been weakened by decay, fractures, large fillings, or root canal treatment. They bring your tooth back to its natural size, shape, and color while adding strength and protection.

Crowns are also used to cover dental implants, attach to bridges to replace missing teeth, and hide cosmetic concerns such as large chips or cracks, severe staining, or misaligned teeth. Each crown is carefully crafted to match your natural teeth and cemented securely in place.

Same-Day Crowns with 3D Technology

At Hunterdon Family Dental Care, we use advanced 3D CAD/CAM technology to design and create your crown right here in our Lebanon office—often in a single visit. This means greater accuracy, a better fit, improved strength, and no need for temporary crowns or multiple appointments. You can walk in with a damaged tooth and leave with a beautifully restored smile the same day.

When You Might Need a Crown

We may recommend a crown if you have:

A tooth weakened by decay or a large filling
A cracked, chipped, or broken tooth
A tooth that has had root canal treatment
A dental implant that needs a tooth-like restoration
Severe discoloration or cosmetic concerns
A tooth that is part of a dental bridge

Crowns add strength, restore full function, and enhance the beauty of your smile—all while protecting your natural tooth structure.

How it works

Custom Design & Fabrication

Using advanced CAD/CAM technology, we design your crown on-screen and mill it right here in our office—often while you wait.

Placement & Adjustment

Your new crown is carefully fitted, adjusted for your bite, and permanently cemented in place. You leave with a fully restored, natural-looking tooth.

Common questions

How long does a dental crown last?+

With proper care and regular dental checkups, crowns can last 10 to 15 years or longer. Good oral hygiene and avoiding habits like grinding or chewing ice will help extend the life of your crown.

Can I get my crown in one visit?+

Yes! We use 3D CAD/CAM technology to design and create many crowns right here in our Lebanon office, often in a single appointment. This eliminates the need for temporary crowns and multiple visits.

Will my crown look natural?+

Absolutely. Each crown is custom-made to match the size, shape, and color of your surrounding teeth. Our goal is a restoration that blends seamlessly with your natural smile.
