Even the most diligent oral hygiene routine is vulnerable to damage. Russell Kelly, DDS, understands that cracks, infection, and decay aren’t always preventable, which is why he offers state-of-the-art dental crowns at Newport Dental Arts in Newport Beach, California.
A dental crown repairs, protects, and aesthetically enhances decayed and damaged teeth. To learn more about crowns, call Newport Dental Arts or schedule an appointment online today.
Dental crowns are caps that fit over damaged or decayed teeth. Made of durable materials, such as ceramic, porcelain, and porcelain fused to metal (PFM), crowns protect and enhance the appearance of dysfunctional teeth. They also restore the affected tooth’s shape and size for a healthier bite.
Crowns are among the most common restorations in the United States to treat a variety of dental concerns. Dr. Kelly, your trusted dentist in Newport Beach, may recommend a dental crown to:
Depending on the location of your affected tooth, Dr. Kelly can recommend the best crown material for you.
Then, he reshapes and files your affected tooth to prepare for the crown. This step allows the crown to fit over your tooth perfectly, without appearing bulky or out of place.

At your final visit, Dr. Kelly will replace the temporary restoration with your permanent crown. He then makes any necessary adjustments before cementing it in place. Once cemented, a crown can fully restore your smile, tooth function, and chewing abilities.
The average lifespan of a crown is about 15 years, but taking proper care of your restoration can preserve it for up to 30 years. You can maintain your crown function by:
