A dental crown is a custom-made cap that fits over the entire visible surface of a tooth, restoring its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Crowns are used across a wide range of clinical situations — from protecting a fractured tooth to improving the look of one that is severely discolored or misshapen. Once bonded in place, a crown functions exactly like a natural tooth and is virtually indistinguishable from the surrounding dentition when crafted with care.
A 2022 retrospective clinical study reviewed by researchers at Malmö University and published in PubMed Central found that properly placed tooth-supported single crowns demonstrate good to excellent long-term survival rates across a broad range of patient cases, with clinical technique and case selection playing a central role in outcomes. At Gardens Dentistry, Dr. Dalia’s meticulous preparation process and focus on precision fit ensure that each crown is built to stand the test of time.
