A crown, also known as a cap, covers a tooth to restore it to its normal shape and size, thereby strengthening and improving its overall appearance.
A crown may be recommended to cover and support a tooth with a large filling. A crown can be used to attach a bridge, protect a weak tooth from breaking, or restore one that is already broken.
There are three main types of dental crowns. Each designed for different applications. Metal gold crowns are particularly suitable for posterior teeth exposed to heavy chewing forces.
Porcelain or ceramic crowns, offer excellent aesthetic results and closely match the appearance of natural teeth. They blend seamlessly in with your smile.
Finally, Porcelain fused to metal (PFM) crowns combine the strength of metal with the cosmetic appeal of porcelain. This type of crown is often recommended for load-bearing teeth that are visible when you smile.

Great to get a crown completed in one visit
I recently switched my dentist to Dr. Eby's practice as I'm relatively new (2 years) to the area. I've known about dental work I need to have done prior to switching; but, put it off as my experiences in the past with other dentists have ranged from not so great to ...just ok. After my routine cleaning at Dr. Eby's went smoothly, I went ahead and scheduled the work I'd been putting off. The staff pre-qualified the work with my insurance provider, so I would know what to expect for my out of pocket expenses. I had 4 fillings repaired, several for teeth that will need crowns.The replacement of the fillings was painless - I didn't even feel any of the injections when the areas to be worked on were numbed! Dr. Eby and his assistant were constantly informing me of progress and making sure I was comfortable. I won't hesitate anymore to have dental work done when it is needed. Thank you to Dr. Eby and to your staff for providing positive experiences!
This office is always prompt, professional and very friendly and personable.
