Dental crowns are a reliable and long-lasting solution to restore damaged, weakened, or cosmetically imperfect teeth. At SJ Dental Care in San Jose, we provide custom dental crowns designed to look natural, feel comfortable, and protect your smile for years to come.
What Is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown is a custom-made cap that completely covers a tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Crowns are commonly used when a tooth is too damaged for a filling but can still be saved.
Dental crowns help protect your natural tooth while allowing you to bite, chew, and smile with confidence.
When Do You Need a Dental Crown?
Our San Jose dentists will evaluate your tooth and recommend a crown if it’s the best solution. You may need a dental crown if you have:
- A cracked, chipped, or broken tooth
- A tooth with a large or failing filling
- Severe tooth decay
- A tooth that has undergone root canal treatment
- Excessive wear from grinding or clenching
- A misshapen or discolored tooth affecting your smile

What to Expect During the Dental Crown Procedure
Getting a dental crown is a straightforward and comfortable process.
Step 1: Examination & Digital X-Rays
We assess the tooth, surrounding structure, and bite alignment using advanced imaging.
Step 2: Tooth Preparation
The tooth is gently reshaped to make room for the crown. Local anesthesia ensures comfort.
Step 3: Digital Scan or Impression
We take precise impressions to design your custom crown.
Step 4: Temporary Crown Placement
A temporary crown protects your tooth while your permanent crown is crafted.
Step 5: Final Crown Placement
Once ready, your permanent crown is securely bonded and adjusted for a perfect fit.
How Long Do Dental Crowns Last?
Routine care helps extend the life of your crown. With proper care, dental crowns typically last 10 to 15 years or longer. Factors that affect crown longevity include:
- Oral hygiene habits
