Dental Crowns

Dental Crowns in Lancaster

When a tooth becomes weakened, damaged, or severely worn, it can affect both oral health and confidence. Dental crowns are a restorative solution designed to protect and strengthen compromised teeth while restoring their natural appearance.

At Nathan Zaghi, DDS, we use custom dental crowns to help patients regain comfort, function, and a healthy-looking smile.

What Is a Dental Crown?

A dental crown is a custom-made restoration that fully covers and protects a tooth. Often referred to as a “cap,” a crown restores the tooth’s shape, strength, and appearance while allowing it to function normally.

Crowns are carefully designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, providing a durable and aesthetically pleasing result.

Here are some of the reasons you need a dental crown:

When Is a Dental Crown Recommended?

A dental crown may be recommended in situations such as:

• A tooth that is cracked, fractured, or weakened

• Extensive decay that cannot be repaired with a filling

• A large or failing filling

• Protection of a tooth after root canal treatment

• Improving the appearance of a damaged or misshapen tooth

Crowns help preserve natural tooth structure whenever possible and may prevent the need for tooth extraction.

Restoring Strength and Function

Dental crowns allow dentists to restore a tooth’s ability to chew comfortably and function properly. By reinforcing the remaining tooth structure, crowns help prevent further damage while maintaining a natural bite.

With proper care, dental crowns can provide long-lasting protection and reliability.

The Dental Crown Process

Treatment typically begins with a comprehensive exam and consultation. During this visit, the tooth is evaluated and prepared, and impressions are taken to ensure a precise fit.

Once the custom crown is ready, it is securely placed and adjusted for comfort and function. The result is a strong, natural-looking restoration that supports both oral health and appearance.
