Custom Dental Crowns for a Strong, Natural-Looking Smile
At Isles Dental, Dr. Robert Springer provides high-quality, custom dental crowns that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. Using advanced materials and precise techniques, we ensure that your crown is strong, comfortable, and long-lasting.
What Is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown, also known as a cap, is a tooth-shaped restoration that covers and protects a damaged or weakened tooth. Crowns restore the tooth’s shape, size, strength, and function, preventing further damage.
Dental crowns are commonly used for:
- Severely decayed teeth that cannot be repaired with a filling
- Cracked or fractured teeth needing extra strength
- Teeth with large fillings that need additional support
- Protecting a tooth after a root canal
- Restoring a dental implant
- Improving the appearance of misshapen or discolored teeth
A well-placed crown not only restores function and durability but also enhances the natural beauty of your smile.
Benefits of Dental Crowns
- Protects and Strengthens Teeth – Shields weakened or cracked teeth from further damage.
- Restores Natural Function – Allows you to chew and bite comfortably.
- Blends Seamlessly – Custom-designed to match the color and shape of your natural teeth.
- Long-Lasting Durability – With proper care, crowns can last 10–15 years or longer.

The Dental Crown Process
1. Consultation & Exam
Dr. Springer will evaluate your tooth using digital X-rays to determine if a crown is the right solution.
2. Tooth Preparation & Impressions
The damaged tooth is reshaped to accommodate the crown, and digital impressions are taken for a precise fit.
3. Temporary Crown Placement
A temporary crown is placed while your permanent crown is custom-made in a dental lab.
4. Final Crown Placement
Once your crown is ready, Dr. Springer will securely bond it to your tooth, making final adjustments for a perfect fit and bite alignment.
The result is a strong, natural-looking restoration that blends flawlessly with your smile.
How Long Do Dental Crowns Last?
With proper care, dental crowns can last 10–15 years or longer. To extend the lifespan of your crown:
- Brush and floss daily to prevent decay around the crown.
- Avoid chewing hard foods (like ice, nuts, or hard candies).
- Wear a nightguard if you grind your teeth.
- Visit Isles Dental for regular checkups to ensure your crown remains in excellent condition.
By following these care tips, your crown will continue to protect and enhance your smile for years to come.
