Dental Crowns in Lake Nona, FL

A cracked tooth, a badly decayed molar, or a tooth weakened after a root canal — these are the moments when you need more than a quick fix. You need a restoration that holds up for years and looks completely natural while doing it.

Led by Dr. Jordan Jones, our experienced dental professionals understand that no two smiles are alike. Whether you’re dealing with a damaged tooth or looking to restore one that’s been compromised, we’re here to help your whole family find a solution under one roof.

A dental crown is a custom-fitted cap that covers the entire visible portion of a tooth above the gum line. It restores the tooth’s shape, size, strength, and appearance, functioning just like a natural tooth once it’s placed. Crowns are commonly used after significant decay, fractures, or root canal therapy, and they can also anchor a dental bridge or complete a dental implant.

Tooth-supported single crowns demonstrate strong cumulative survival rates when placed by experienced practitioners using proper clinical protocols. With the right care and regular dental checkups, a well-placed crown can serve patients for well over a decade.

Understanding when a crown is the right call can help you make faster, more confident decisions about your dental health.

Protecting a Severely Damaged Tooth

When a tooth has significant decay or has been broken due to injury, a filling alone often isn’t enough to restore its structure. A crown encases the entire tooth, distributing bite forces evenly and preventing further damage. This is especially important for back teeth, which bear most of the pressure when you chew.

Restoring a Tooth After a Root Canal

Root canal therapy saves an infected tooth by removing the damaged pulp inside. But once that process is complete, the tooth becomes more brittle and vulnerable to fracture. Placing a crown over it seals and reinforces the structure, giving the treated tooth the protection it needs to function normally for years to come.

Completing a Dental Implant

Dental crowns are the visible, functional component placed on top of a dental implant. After the implant integrates with the jawbone, the crown is attached to complete the restoration. Our team carefully matches the crown’s color and shape to the surrounding teeth, so the result blends in naturally with your smile.

Anchoring a Dental Bridge

When one or more teeth are missing and a bridge is the chosen solution, the teeth on either side of the gap are prepared to receive crowns. These crowned teeth act as anchors, supporting the artificial tooth or teeth in between. It’s a dependable way to restore function and fill gaps without implant surgery.

Types of Crowns Available

Our team will help you choose the right material based on the location of the tooth, your bite, your aesthetic goals, and your budget.

• Porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns: Offer durability with a natural tooth-colored appearance, making them a popular choice for both front and back teeth
• All-ceramic or all-porcelain crowns: Provide the most natural look and are an excellent option for patients with metal sensitivities or visible smile concerns
• Metal crowns: Extremely durable and long-lasting, these are typically recommended for out-of-sight back teeth where strength is the top priority
• Zirconia crowns: A strong, tooth-colored option that holds up well under heavy chewing pressure, combining the durability of metal with the aesthetics of porcelain

Every crown placed at Esteem Dental is custom fabricated to match your natural teeth as closely as possible in size, shape, and color.

What to Expect During the Crown Process

For most patients, receiving a crown involves two visits. At the first appointment, the tooth is prepared by removing a small amount of enamel to make room for the crown. Impressions are taken and sent to a dental lab, and a temporary crown is placed to protect the tooth in the meantime. Once your permanent crown is ready, you return for a second visit where it is fitted, adjusted, and cemented into place.

Our team takes extra care to make sure the crown fits comfortably with your bite. We accept most major insurance plans including Aetna PPO, Blue Cross Blue Shield PPO, Cigna PPO, Delta, UnitedHealthcare PPO, and Medicare, and we offer flexible financing options through CareCredit and LendingClub to help you move forward with the care you need.
