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.

Thanks for getting me in to recement my crown. Everything went well. No pain.
We have been going to Dartmoor Dental for almost 10 years. My oral and dental health went massively downhill after my pregnancies, I went from never having any issues besides the rare cavity to getting a dental implant after a molar with an old filling broke one day. Denise, the hygienist always takes great care of my teeth during the cleaning appointments. She is very careful to not cause any discomfort and is very friendly as well. During the first 2 years of the Covid19 pandemic i skipped my routine cleanings and any dental appointment due to health concerns related to a medical condition I have. I came back to discover a complete disaster in my mouth and i have needed a tremendous amount of work done over the past 15 months (a root canal, several crowns, multiple fillings and maintenance... you name it!) so i have spent a lot of time on Dr Dave's chair getting everything stabilized, more than i'd like to admit. Dr Dave has done a great job fixing my teeth, i rarely if ever experienced any disconfort during or after the various treatments. Even the anesthesia is smooth as he uses his buzzer to "distract the nerve". Now that all the tough work is done, i can finally get that crown placed on top of my implant next year and i wouldn't go anywhere else but Dartmoor Dental to get it done. I also appreciate the ladies assisting Dr Dave who are always very friendly and good company while waiting for the anesthetics to kick in. Kuddos to the ladies at the front desk, always friendly and helpful with questions i have or billing purposes. They even work with me when insurance claim payments lagged behind once i got into rollover benefits to cover my treatments. My husband and I look forward to continue getting our dental care in this practice, as we know we'll be getting high quality work done. Our children will soon be coming there as they are getting older and no longer need to see the pediatric dentist.
Nice place, they all made me feel comfortable , soon I’ll have some work done and I’m sure I will be in good hands, dentists always make me shivering … let see this time . Becky is super nice and dr. Malik nice and professional Well, a month after…I’m super happy, dr. Malik made a crown and safe my tooth another dentist said nothing to do but an implant !!! would be the third one with him, sorry I didn’t know Dartmoor dental before !!!
I just switched to Dartmoor Dental and had two appointments: I had a crown reattached, and I had a general checkup and cleaning. The staff was very friendly. The work done was done well. They took the time to explain procedures, and answered all of my questions. I arrived on time for my appointments and had very little wait time. Overall, an excellent experience.
2 hours of drilling and totally painless Thanks Put in new crown, perfect fit
