Dental Crowns
Dental Crowns Have Many Uses
Dental crowns are caps that are placed over individual teeth in order to mask structural imperfections or reinforce a damaged tooth. Dental crowns differ from veneers, inlays, and onlays because they encase the entire tooth, rather than just a portion of it. At our dentistry practice, we use crowns to address:
Large Fillings or Cavities
Patients at our practice with particularly large fillings may have crowns placed over their teeth to support the filling and tooth. This can restore chewing ability and overall dental function.
Chips, Cracks, and Wear
In addition, patients whose teeth have been cracked, chipped, or severely worn down can opt for dental crowns to restore strength and shape to the tooth.
Root Canal Infection
The nerves, blood vessels, and other soft tissues in the central canals of the tooth can become infected due to cavities or injury. Crowns are commonly placed after root canal therapy to lend strength and support to the tooth.
Securing Dental Bridges
Crowns can also be used to hold a traditional dental bridge in place. A bridge can replace one to three teeth in a row, and they are secured in place with two crowns that are placed on the teeth adjacent to the gap.
Replace Missing Teeth
Dental implants can be placed in the jawbone to replace missing teeth. With crowns, a single implant is placed in the jaw. After the dental implant has integrated with the surrounding tissues, a crown can be attached to the implant.What Can a New Dental Crown Do for You?
Oral Health Benefits
The main benefit of dental crowns is that they restore the strength, health, and chewing ability of damaged teeth. Patients whose teeth have been weakened may experience pain, discomfort, and sensitivity, which can be addressed with this treatment. In addition, broken teeth can have an adverse effect on alignment of the jaw, which can lead to bone deterioration or TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorder.
Cosmetic Benefits
Porcelain crowns also offer many cosmetic benefits. Porcelain crowns mimic the color of natural teeth and can be used to create a seamless look. This is especially useful for treatment of the front teeth. These crowns can also be used on the back teeth and are less conspicuous than their metal counterparts. In most cases, dentists recommend porcelain crowns because they resemble the natural teeth.

Dental Crowns in Action See How Easy Treatment Can Be
A dental crown covers a broken or weakened tooth, protecting it from further damage. Dr. Stephen J. Malki uses all-porcelain crowns that look just like natural teeth, and uses CEREC technology for fast results. After placement, dental crowns can be cared for just like your natural teeth.
A Closer Look At Your Dental Crown Options
We craft dental crowns from a variety of materials in order to meet the widest range of patient needs. If you're unsure which crown option is best for you, Dr. Malki can help you decide during a consultation. Take a look at our two most popular options:
Porcelain crowns are incredibly durable, and can withstand the full force of your bite. Porcelain is an incredibly popular dental material due to its resemblance to natural teeth. Our dentist can even color-match your new porcelain crowns to the rest of your smile, ensuring seamless results. Some patients undergo whitening first so the crown can be matched to a brilliant new shade of white. These crowns are stain-resistant, so you can expect them to maintain their color with proper care. Thanks to our CEREC system, our dentist can fabricate a new porcelain crown at our Bergen County, NJ, office in 15 minutes or less.
Metal crowns are even stronger and less expensive than porcelain crowns, but they are more noticeable in your mouth. They can be made thinner than other types of crowns, meaning less of your natural tooth structure has to be altered for placement. If a patient is receiving a gold or metal crown, Dr. Malki can complete the procedure in two easy office visits. The procedure is relatively similar, except that the dental crowns are crafted by an outside lab. In this case, Dr. Malki provides patients with a temporary crown while the custom crown is being created.

Had the best experience walking into the dentist office for the first time. I had everyone welcome me and treat me with the up most respect. When I received my cleaning Lisa was very nice and understanding and took her time. I highly recommend seeing Dr.Amir for any dental needs. He explained everything throughly and precisely which helped my anxiety while being at a “dentist office”.
