With dental crowns, you can keep your natural teeth in place for longer. Whether due to age, injury, or decay, your teeth may be weakened and unable to stand up to the wear and pressure caused by chewing. Placing a crown can give it new strength and durability and save it from a complete extraction.
The restorative dentistry professionals at Greene Street Dental have experience in a wide range of services. We use advanced technology to create better, longer-lasting, and more comfortable crowns. With the help of the iTero scanner, we can design a tooth-colored crown that is custom-fitted to your smile, your mouth, and your remaining natural tooth.
Did you know that dental crowns can be used for cosmetic purposes, too? Cosmetic crowns are like veneers, but they cover the entire tooth. With computer-aided design software, we can create a mold for your crown that improves upon your old tooth, closing up spaces, getting rid of discoloration, and even lengthening the tooth.
With full coverage for your tooth, you can also enjoy long-lasting protection from decay and injury. Our strongest crowns last for decades, so surprise cavities are a thing of the past. Sensitive teeth sufferers can also take those fearless drinks of ice-cold water without a second thought.

If you’re experiencing severe pain, visit our same-day emergency dentist. You may have an infected or broken tooth, and these should be treated as soon as possible to avoid serious health complications.

Crowns are a relatively painless, non-invasive restoration that can provide long-lasting pain relief and protection from decay. We can also help you improve your smile with cosmetic porcelain dental crowns.
