What Is a Dental Crown and When Do You Need One?

When it comes to restoring and protecting your teeth, dental crowns are one of the most reliable and effective solutions in modern dentistry. At the office of Dr. Monica Morgan in Tampa, we use high-quality crowns to help patients regain both function and beauty in their smiles.

What Is a Dental Crown?

A dental crown is a custom-made cap that completely covers a damaged or weakened tooth. It restores the tooth’s shape, size, strength, and appearance. Crowns can be made from porcelain, ceramic, metal, or a combination of materials, depending on your needs.

When Do You Need a Crown?

You might need a dental crown if you:

  • Have a tooth with a large cavity that can’t be filled

  • Recently had a root canal treatment

  • Have a cracked, broken, or worn-down tooth

  • Need to protect a weak tooth from fracturing

  • Want to cover a severely discolored or misshapen tooth

  • Are restoring a dental implant or supporting a dental bridge

Benefits of Dental Crowns

1. Protection – Shields a compromised tooth from further damage.
2. Functionality – Restores your ability to bite and chew comfortably.
3. Aesthetics – Improves the appearance of your smile with natural-looking results.
4. Durability – With proper care, crowns can last many years.
5. Versatility – Useful in both restorative and cosmetic dentistry.

The Crown Placement Process

At your initial visit, Dr. Monica Morgan will prepare the tooth and take digital impressions to design your custom crown. A temporary crown may be placed while your permanent one is being made. Once ready, we’ll fit and bond the final crown, ensuring comfort and a seamless look.

Restore Your Smile with Confidence

If you’re experiencing discomfort or want to improve the look and function of a damaged tooth, a dental crown may be the perfect solution.
