Overview
What a dental crown does
A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap that fits over your tooth. It restores the tooth's size and shape, adds strength and improves how it looks.
Crowns are one of several ways to restore your smile, and they're often the right choice for a tooth that's damaged, weakened or discolored. A crown can also sit on a dental implant to replace a missing tooth.
At Blossom Dental, your crown is designed and made in our own lab using digital scans and CAD/CAM technology. Keeping the process in-house lets us focus on a precise fit, a natural look and your comfort.

Is it right for you?
Why you might need a crown
Dr. Huda Aljonaidy may recommend a crown to:
- Restore a tooth damaged by decay, a fracture or wear
- Protect a tooth weakened by a root canal or a large filling
- Reinforce a cracked tooth and help prevent further damage
- Cover a discolored tooth
- Improve the shape of a misshapen or irregularly sized tooth
- Enhance the color, shape and alignment of your teeth for a more harmonious smile
- Replace a missing tooth, together with a dental implant
What to expect
Your crown, step by step
01
Exam and planning
Dr. Huda examines your tooth and sets a complete treatment plan. Making your crown begins at your next visit.
02
Scans and preparation
We scan your teeth and bite, numb the area and remove any decay or weak tooth structure. The tooth is shaped to make room for the crown, then scanned again.
03
Design and milling
Your scans go to our in-house CAD/CAM lab, where your crown is designed and milled from tooth-colored zirconia. You'll wear a temporary crown in the meantime, since the prepared tooth may be sensitive.
04
Fitting your final crown
At your next visit, we remove the temporary crown and check the new one for fit, color and bite. An X-ray confirms the edges are sealed, we make any small adjustments, and your crown is cemented in place.
FAQ
Questions about Custom crowns
Still wondering about something? Call us at (386) 947-7603 or send us a message, and we'll be glad to help.
How many visits does a crown take?
After your exam, a crown usually takes two visits. At the first, your tooth is prepared and scanned, and you leave with a temporary crown. At the second, your permanent crown is fitted, adjusted and cemented.
Does getting a crown hurt?
The area is numbed with local anesthetic before your tooth is prepared, so you should feel comfortable during treatment. The prepared tooth may be a little sensitive afterward, which is why you'll wear a temporary crown until your permanent one is ready.
What are your crowns made of?
Crowns made in our in-house lab are milled from zirconia blocks that match the color of natural teeth. Crowns can be made from various materials, and Dr. Huda will recommend the best option for your needs and preferences.
Will my crown look natural?
Each crown is designed to match the shape, size and color of your natural teeth. Once it's fitted and adjusted, your crown should look natural and feel comfortable when you bite.
How long will my crown last?
How long a crown lasts depends on things like your bite, habits such as grinding, and how well you care for your teeth. Brushing, flossing and regular checkups help protect both the crown and the tooth underneath.
How much does a crown cost, and will insurance help?
The cost depends on your tooth and the treatment it needs. We'll go over costs, insurance and payment options at your visit, before any work begins.
