Dental Crowns

A damaged or weakened tooth doesn’t have to compromise your smile. At Gateway Smiles Family Dentistry in Boynton Beach, FL, Dr. Mariana Simoca offers custom dental crowns to restore the strength, function, and appearance of your teeth. Using advanced materials like porcelain, we craft crowns that look and feel like your natural teeth, giving you a long-lasting solution for dental restoration.

What Is a Dental Crown

A dental crown is a custom-made cap placed over a damaged tooth to protect it and restore its shape, size, and strength. Porcelain crowns are a popular choice because they are durable, stain-resistant, and blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.

When Do You Need a Dental Crown

Dental crowns are versatile restorations used to address a variety of dental issues, including:

Protecting a tooth weakened by decay or a large filling
Restoring a broken, cracked, or severely worn tooth
Supporting a tooth after root canal therapy
Covering a dental implant or holding a dental bridge in place
Enhancing the appearance of a discolored or misshapen tooth

Dr. Simoca will evaluate your dental needs and recommend a crown if it’s the best option for restoring your tooth.

Porcelain Crowns for a Natural Look

Porcelain crowns are designed to mimic the natural appearance of teeth, ensuring a seamless and attractive restoration. Benefits of porcelain crowns include:

Durability

Long-lasting material designed to withstand daily use.

Natural aesthetics

Matches the color and translucency of your surrounding teeth.

Stain resistance

Maintains its appearance over time with proper care.

Biocompatibility

Safe and gentle on gums and surrounding tissue.

Porcelain crowns are an excellent option for patients who want both functionality and aesthetics in their dental restoration.

What to Expect During Your Crown Procedure

Getting a dental crown typically involves two visits to our Boynton Beach office:

Tooth preparation

Dr. Simoca removes any damaged or decayed portions of the tooth and reshapes it to accommodate the crown.

Impression

An impression is taken to create your custom crown, ensuring a precise fit.

Temporary crown

A temporary crown is placed to protect your tooth while your permanent crown is crafted.

Crown placement

At your second visit, the custom crown is securely bonded to your tooth and adjusted for comfort.

  Dr. Simoca is amazing. I came in after not having been to the dentist in 7+ years due to bad experiences in the past at other dental practices. Over 3 visits, she did a deep cleaning, a crown, and two fillings and was incredibly gentle and caring during the entire set of visits.

The whole team at Gateway Smiles is fantastic. They made me feel right at home. Dr. Simoca has nerves of steel… good thing she gives you novocaine, because mine are not.

Do yourself a favor and book an appointment. Trust me, you've got nothing to lose… except maybe a wisdom tooth or two. 10/10 would recommend — and I brush off compliments, so that's saying a lot.
