What Is a Dental Crown
A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap that is placed over a tooth to restore its:
- Shape and size
- Strength and function
- Appearance and alignment
Crowns are essential when a tooth is too damaged or weak to support a traditional filling. They protect the tooth, prevent further decay or fractures, and enhance aesthetics.

What to Expect During Your Crown Appointment
Your comfort and results are our top priorities. Here’s how we streamline the crown process at Empower Dental:
Assessment & Prep
We start with an exam using Digital X-rays, Cone Beam CT Scans, and intraoral cameras to evaluate the tooth and surrounding structures.
Digital Impressions
Instead of messy trays, we use iTero, Medit, and TRIOS intraoral scanners to capture a precise 3D model of your mouth.
Crown Design & Fabrication
Using CAD/CAM software and our E4D Mill, we custom design your crown and mill it in-office—often within the same visit for CEREC crowns.
Placement & Finishing
Your new crown is polished, adjusted for a natural bite using T-Scan Digital Occlusal Analysis, and bonded into place for immediate function and comfort.
Types of Dental Crowns We Offer
At Empower Dental, we offer several crown materials, each with its own strengths. Based on your needs, bite, and aesthetic goals, we’ll help you choose the best option.
All-Ceramic Crowns
These crowns are metal-free and made entirely of high-strength ceramic. They’re an excellent choice for patients with metal sensitivities and are ideal for front teeth due to their natural translucency and lifelike appearance.
Zirconia Crowns
Zirconia is one of the strongest materials used in dentistry. These crowns are highly durable, resistant to wear, and perfect for molars or patients with heavy bites or bruxism. They also offer a natural appearance without sacrificing strength.
Same-Day CEREC Crowns
With our in-office CEREC CAD/CAM system, we can design, mill, and place your crown in just one visit. These all-ceramic crowns are crafted while you wait—no need for temporaries or a second appointment.
Who Needs a Dental Crown
You may be a candidate for a crown if you:
- Have a cracked or broken tooth
- Need protection after a root canal
- Have a worn or weakened tooth
- Want to improve the appearance of a misshapen or discolored tooth
- Need to anchor a dental bridge
Our team will evaluate your oral health and cosmetic goals to recommend the best type of crown for you.
