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.

Dr. Monzin and her staff are wonderful! They make you feel at ease and are so personable:) I had to have two teeth pulled, a crown replaced, and am in the process of getting an implant to replace one of the pulled teeth. Dr. Monzin and her assistant, Laura, kept checking to make sure I was as pain free as possible throughout the process. Maddie, at the front office, is super sweet and helpful. She responded to me right away after I left a message regarding having pain and swelling in my mouth. She got in touch with Dr. Monzin and called me back to let me know an Rx had been called in to my pharmacy. I am very pleased with the up to date technology at this office and their ability to handle procedures that usually require being referred to a specialist at another practice. I sincerely recommend Aspire Dental to anyone looking for an all around great dental practice.
I can’t thank Dr. Ana Monzin and her staff enough for squeezing me in for an emergency crown. She and her staff are very welcoming and even missed their lunch because of me. Dr. Ana is very professional and so is her assistant. Went back two weeks later for the permanent crown and it’s a perfect fit!!
This was the best experience I've ever had at a dental office. A permanent crown was created and placed in less than two hours and the work was perfection. The only pinch I felt was from the initial shot for numbing, after that it was actually a lot of fun! The staff is fantastic and Doctor Hoffman is an artist and perfectionist. I highly recommend this practice.
If you desire excellence in formulating a dental treatment plan and skilled execution of that plan, you can do no better than Dr. Brian Hoffman, DMD. During a course of multiple treatment sessions which included a surgical extraction, a root canal and three crowns, I experienced no discomfort, much less any pain during pre-treatment, during the procedures, or post-treatment. If there is a Mecca for painless dentistry, it will be found in Dr. Hoffman's practice. Furthermore, his support staff are not only extremely competent but show genuine consideration for the patient's comfort and wellbeing. I recommend this dental practice without reservation.

Excellent Dentist, outstanding staff - highly recommended. I have been in Dr. Hoffman's care for over two years now. I trust Dr. Hoffman and his staff with my regular exams and cleanings, as well as a more complicated procedures, such as crowns and implants. I am very satisfied with the professional care I have received and truly believe that Dr. Hoffman and his staff deliver service to a higher standard than any other dentist I have been to in the past. He is very knowledgeable, thorough and a perfectionist at heart who takes time to plan out the best treatment and explains it thoroughly to his patients. The entire staff, including the dental hygienists and the administrative staff follow his lead and deliver dedicated, professional and compassionate service (including the flawless interaction with my insurance carrier). Needless to say that my entire family is with Hoffman Dental. Update August 2017: I am still full of praise for Dr. Hoffman and his team at Hoffman Dental. Over the last couple of weeks they completed an implant surgery with crown and I could not be more satisfied. As expected, Dr. Hoffman took ample time to explain the steps involved and prepared me well for surgery. The implant went in with little to no discomfort and the post surgery handling was outstanding. The milling of the new crown (thank you Katie) was performed to the highest standards and neither Dr. Hoffman nor Katie were willing to compromise and accept anything short of perfection when it came to matching the color and shading of my natural teeth. Everybody at Hoffman Dental made sure my procedures were performed flawlessly and I am very happy with the outcome. I can only reiterate: Highly recommended.
