Dental crowns protect and restore teeth that are decayed, broken, discolored, and chipped. It also serves as a cap for a dental implant.
- How long do same-day crowns last?
Dental crowns can last for up to 15 years or more. The best way to increase the life of your crown is to keep up a good dental hygiene routine of regular brushing and flossing and seeing your dentist for regular check-ups. Also, avoid chewing on hard candies, ice, or any other hard foods that could chip or break your crown.

Yes. We use only high-quality ceramic materials that are color matched to your natural teeth. This porcelain is extremely durable and has the luster and shine of natural teeth.
