Dental Crowns in Allentown, PA

Complete tooth restoration with strength and natural beauty — protect and enhance damaged teeth with custom-crafted crowns that last for years.

When a tooth is severely damaged by decay, fracture, or extensive wear, a dental crown provides comprehensive protection and restoration. At Kearns Family Dentistry in Allentown, we create custom dental crowns that not only strengthen and protect your damaged teeth but also restore their natural appearance and function. Dr. Sean Kearns combines technical precision with artistic vision to craft crowns that blend seamlessly with your smile while providing years of reliable service.

What Are Dental Crowns?

Dental crowns are custom-made caps that completely cover a damaged tooth above the gum line, restoring its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Unlike fillings that repair only a portion of a tooth, crowns provide complete coverage and protection for teeth that have been significantly compromised by decay, fracture, or other damage. These restorations are permanently cemented in place, functioning just like your natural teeth.

At Kearns Family Dentistry, we fabricate crowns from high-quality materials including porcelain, ceramic, and porcelain-fused-to-metal options. Each crown is individually crafted based on precise impressions of your prepared tooth, ensuring a perfect fit that feels comfortable and natural. The crown process typically requires two appointments—one for tooth preparation and impression-taking, and another for final placement once your custom crown returns from the dental laboratory.

Modern dental crowns are designed to withstand normal chewing forces while maintaining an aesthetic appearance that matches your surrounding teeth. With proper care and regular dental maintenance, quality crowns can provide decades of reliable service, making them an excellent long-term investment in your oral health.

Types of Crowns

At Kearns Family Dentistry, we offer several crown options to meet different functional and aesthetic needs, ensuring every patient receives the most appropriate restoration for their specific situation.

All-Porcelain Crowns: Made from high-quality ceramic materials, these crowns provide the most natural appearance with superior light transmission that mimics natural tooth enamel. They’re ideal for front teeth and visible areas of your smile, offering excellent aesthetics without any metal components.
Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal Crowns: Combining the durability of a metal substructure with the natural appearance of porcelain, these crowns are particularly suitable for back teeth that endure significant chewing forces while maintaining an attractive appearance.
Metal Crowns: Made from gold or other metal alloys, these crowns are highly durable and ideal for molars. While strong, their metallic appearance makes them less suitable for visible teeth.
Ceramic Crowns: Crafted from advanced ceramic materials, these crowns are a popular choice for front teeth due to their ability to match your natural tooth color. However, they may be less durable than metal crowns for heavy chewing forces.
Zirconia Crowns: Made from a metal-like material with a tooth-colored appearance, zirconia crowns offer durability similar to metal crowns while providing better aesthetics than traditional metal options.

With proper care, dental crowns can last anywhere from 10 to 50 years. While crowns themselves cannot decay, the tooth underneath still requires care, so regular brushing, flossing, and dental visits are essential.
