We will make impressions and send them to a lab that will create a custom crown that is all yours. Crowns mimic the look of a natural tooth right down to your natural shade, so you don’t have to worry about having an uneven or unnatural-looking smile. No one will ever know that your smile isn’t yours (don’t worry—your secret’s safe with us!).
 
Most crowns last about eight years or more, depending on how well you take care of your smile. Remember, your daily oral regime is extremely important. This means flossing around your crown to prevent plaque buildup. Also, avoiding hard candies and food will protect your crown from damage. If you are good to your crown, your crown will be good to you!
