WHAT'S INCLUDED
Crowns are typically made from porcelain, ceramic, or a blend chosen for the strength and appearance each specific tooth needs.
Covers and strengthens a tooth that's become brittle after treatment.

Repairs a fractured or severely worn tooth.
Covers a misshapen or significantly discolored tooth.

YOUR VISIT
Here's what to expect when getting a crown.
Dr. Afifi numbs the area and reshapes the tooth to make room for the crown.
A precise impression ensures your permanent crown fits perfectly.
Your crown is made to match the color, shape, and size of your other teeth.
Dr. Afifi checks the fit and bite, then permanently cements your new crown.
WHY IT MATTERS
A well-fitted crown does far more than cover a damaged tooth, it restores comfort, function, and confidence.
Keeps the root in place rather than requiring extraction.
Bite and chew normally again without fear of further damage
Modern materials closely match the color and translucency of real teeth.
With proper care, crowns can last well over a decade
IS THIS YOU?
Patients who've had a root canal, have an aging filling, or have a cracked tooth from grinding are the most common candidates for a crown.
If any of this sounds like you, Dr. Afifi can confirm during an exam.

With proper care, a crown can last fifteen years or longer. Avoiding habits like chewing ice helps extend its life.
The area is fully numbed beforehand, so most patients feel little to no discomfort. Mild sensitivity afterward is normal and short-lived.
A filling repairs a smaller area of damage, while a crown covers the entire visible tooth when too much structure is missing for a filling alone.
Yes, Dr. Afifi carefully selects shade and material to blend naturally with your surrounding teeth.
Typically two: one to prepare the tooth and take impressions, and a second to place the final crown.
Let Dr. Afifi help you protect and restore your smile with a precisely fitted crown.
