Dental Crowns Specialist in Royal Palm Beach, West Palm Beach, Palm Beach Gardens, and Lantana, FL

A dental crown is commonly needed when a tooth is severely decayed or damaged, and a simple filling is not enough to protect the tooth or restore its stability. If you have a large cavity that puts your tooth at risk, our dentists at KA Dental Group can place a crown to preserve what remains and prevent further damage.

Crowns are also essential after root canal therapy. During a root canal procedure, the infected pulp is removed, which can leave your tooth more fragile. Placing a crown helps reinforce the treated tooth, ensuring it remains strong and functional for years to come.

If you have a cracked or worn-down tooth—whether from injury or grinding (bruxism)—our team can restore its strength and appearance with a custom-made crown. In cosmetic cases, crowns can transform teeth that are severely discolored, misshapen, or misaligned, especially when veneers are not suitable.

Dental crowns anchor dental bridges by covering adjacent healthy teeth and are used to cap dental implants, providing a natural-looking and durable replacement for missing teeth.

If you’re experiencing any of these dental concerns, the specialists at KA Dental Group are here to help. We’ll assess your unique needs and recommend a personalized treatment plan—so you can protect your teeth, restore your smile, and maintain optimal oral health.

When you visit our practice for a dental crown, our experienced dentists first numb the area around your affected tooth to ensure you remain comfortable throughout the treatment.

Once you’re comfortable, your KA Dental Group dentist will carefully reshape the tooth by removing a small amount of its outer surface. This precise preparation allows your new crown to fit perfectly over your tooth. Next, we take a detailed impression or use advanced digital scanning technology to capture the shape of your prepared tooth and the surrounding teeth. This ensures your permanent crown will be custom-made to blend seamlessly with your natural smile.

While your custom crown is being created at a trusted dental laboratory, we’ll place a temporary crown over your tooth to protect it. During this time, our team will provide you with aftercare instructions, such as avoiding sticky or hard foods on that side of your mouth.

Once your permanent crown is ready—typically within one or two weeks—you’ll return to us. Your dentist will remove the temporary crown and carefully check the fit, color, and appearance of your new crown, making any necessary adjustments. When everything meets our high standards, the permanent crown is securely bonded to your tooth.

The result is a strong, natural-looking tooth restoration that improves both the function and appearance of your smile. At KA Dental Group, we are committed to helping you achieve optimal oral health and confidence in your smile.

At KA Dental Group, our team is dedicated to ensuring your comfort and satisfaction after every dental procedure, including dental crowns. It’s normal to experience some sensitivity, mild discomfort, or soreness around the area where your crown was placed. Most of our patients start to feel better within a few days, as the effects of anesthesia wear off and any initial gum irritation subsides. Typically, discomfort resolves within two to three days, allowing you to return to your regular eating and oral hygiene routines.

Some patients may notice minor sensitivity to hot or cold foods and drinks, or slight soreness when biting down, for up to a week or two. This is especially common if the tooth needed extensive preparation or if the gum tissue was disturbed during treatment. Over-the-counter pain relievers are usually sufficient to manage any lingering discomfort.

If you notice that your bite feels uneven or experience sharp pain when biting down, please contact KA Dental Group. Our doctors may need to make a simple adjustment to ensure your crown fits perfectly.

If you have pain, swelling, or sensitivity that lasts longer than this, it’s important to schedule a follow-up appointment with us. We want to be sure your crown fits properly and that there are no underlying issues.

While dental crowns are designed to be a long-lasting solution, it’s important for our patients to understand that they are not considered permanent. With proper care, most crowns—whether made from porcelain, ceramic, metal, or a combination of materials—can last anywhere from five to fifteen years or even longer.

However, crowns are still subject to everyday wear and tear from chewing, biting, or habits like teeth grinding. Over time, crowns may loosen, become chipped, or develop cracks. The lifespan of your dental crown also depends greatly on your oral hygiene practices. Regular brushing and flossing, along with routine dental check-ups, help maintain both your crown and the health of the surrounding teeth and gums.

Certain habits, such as chewing on ice or hard objects, can shorten the life of your crown. Additionally, if the tooth beneath the crown develops decay or gum disease, it may affect the stability of the crown and require replacement.
During your regular visits, our team will carefully monitor the condition of your crowns. If you experience discomfort, notice the crown feels loose, or see visible damage, it’s important to let us know. Our experienced dentists can repair or replace crowns as needed to ensure your smile stays healthy and functional.

While dental crowns offer a reliable and long-term solution for restoring your teeth, KA Dental Group wants you to be aware that crowns may eventually need to be replaced due to normal wear or changes in your dental health. Our team is here to provide personalized care and guidance every step of the way.

Key Features of Our Crown Treatment
A dental crown is a full coverage restoration that fits securely over the entire remaining tooth structure, delivering necessary support and improving the tooth’s shape and color.

• Optimal Protection: Crowns are essential for saving teeth that have suffered significant structural damage from severe decay or fractures, and for strengthening teeth that have undergone root canal therapy.
• Precision and Aesthetics: We focus on crafting crowns that are perfectly color-matched and contoured to blend naturally with your surrounding teeth. This ensures the restoration is virtually invisible and your bite feels completely natural.
• Durable Materials: Utilizing the best materials available, your custom crown is designed to withstand the daily wear and tear of chewing, offering you a durable, long-term solution to maintain the integrity of your smile.
• Confidence Restored: By encasing the entire tooth, a crown resolves cosmetic issues like discoloration or misalignment while fully restoring the functional stability you need for everyday life.
