A tooth can lose its normal shape and size for various reasons—from decay and damage to wear and discoloration. At Gateway Family Dentistry, we use dental crowns to restore your tooth's original appearance, strengthen it, and improve both its function and aesthetics. A crown is a custom-made cap that completely covers a damaged or weakened tooth, protecting it and restoring it to full strength and beauty.

Dental crowns serve multiple important purposes in comprehensive dental care. When a tooth requires a large filling, insufficient healthy tooth structure often remains to support the filling securely. A crown strengthens the compromised tooth and holds the restoration in place, preventing future problems. Crowns also protect naturally weak teeth, repair teeth that are cracked or broken, and cover teeth that are severely discolored, misshapen, or cosmetically unattractive. Additionally, crowns can serve as anchors for dental implants or bridges, making them an essential component of many restorative treatment plans.

Gateway Family Dentistry crafts crowns from high-quality materials including tooth-colored porcelain, durable ceramic, and strong metal alloys—each selected based on your specific needs, location, and aesthetic goals. Our dentists take time to ensure your crown matches your natural teeth perfectly in color, shape, and size, creating a seamless restoration that looks and feels completely natural.

If you have a damaged, weakened, or discolored tooth, a crown from Gateway Family Dentistry may be the ideal solution. Contact us today at (480) 857-0745 to schedule a consultation.
