Dental Crowns in Chadds Ford
Strengthen and Restore Your Smile
Even though tooth enamel is the hardest substance in the human body, teeth can still become damaged due to decay, fractures, or injury. At Eunson Dental, we offer custom dental crowns in Chadds Ford to restore function, protect weakened teeth, and enhance the appearance of your smile. Whether you need a crown after a root canal or to restore a broken tooth, Dr. Anne Eunson provides precise, comfortable, and long-lasting care.
What Is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap placed over a damaged or weakened tooth. It restores the tooth’s shape, size, strength, and appearance. At Eunson Dental, we use high-quality materials such as porcelain, ceramic, and zirconia for a natural look and long-lasting results.
You may benefit from a dental crown if you have:
✔ A cracked or broken tooth
✔ A large filling that weakens the remaining structure
✔ A tooth that needs protection after a root canal
✔ A discolored or misshapen tooth
✔ A dental implant or bridge needing support
Types of Dental Crown
We offer several crown options based on your needs:
Porcelain or Ceramic Crowns
Highly aesthetic and ideal for front teeth
Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM)
Stronger option suitable for back teeth
Zirconia Crowns
Extremely durable and natural-looking
Filling Placement
The composite, porcelain, or gold material is applied and shaped.
Metal Crowns
Long-lasting and ideal for molars, though less cosmetic
Dr. Eunson will recommend the best material based on the location of the tooth, your bite, and your cosmetic preferences.
The Dental Crown Process
Getting a crown typically involves two visits:
1. Initial Evaluation and Preparation
✔ Dr. Eunson will examine your tooth and take digital X-rays
✔ The tooth is reshaped to make room for the crown
✔ An impression is taken to craft a custom-fit crown
✔ A temporary crown is placed while the permanent one is made
2. Final Placement
✔ Your custom crown is placed and adjusted for comfort and appearance
✔ Once you’re happy with the fit, the crown is cemented in place
With good oral hygiene and regular check-ups, your crown can last 10 to 15 years or more.
Why Choose a Dental Crown?
Dental crowns offer many benefits beyond just aesthetics:
✔ Restore strength and stability to weakened teeth
✔ Improve your ability to chew and speak comfortably
✔ Protect teeth from further damage or decay
✔ Enhance your smile with natural-looking results
✔ Minimize the need for future dental work
Is the dental crown procedure painful?
We use local anesthesia to ensure your comfort. Most patients report minimal discomfort.
How much does a dental crown cost?
Costs vary depending on the crown material and complexity. We accept most insurance and offer financing through CareCredit.
Can I replace an old metal crown with porcelain?
Yes, we can upgrade old crowns to natural-looking porcelain for improved aesthetics.
How long do crowns last?
With proper care, most crowns last 10–15 years, and some even longer.
Do crowns require special care?
Not at all—just brush, floss, and visit us regularly like you would with natural teeth.
Do I need a crown after a root canal?
In most cases, yes—especially for back teeth. A crown adds protection and prevents fracture.
Can crowns be whitened?
No, crowns don’t respond to whitening. We recommend whitening your teeth before crown placement if needed.
Can I get a crown if I grind my teeth?
Yes, we use stronger materials like zirconia and may recommend a nightguard to protect your crown.
Can a crown replace a missing tooth?
Not alone, but it can be used with an implant or bridge to replace missing teeth.
