A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap placed over a tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. When cemented into place, dental crowns fully encase the entire visible portion of a tooth that lies at and above the gum line. Dental crowns are necessary when a tooth is broken down, and fillings won't solve the problem. If a tooth is cracked, a crown holds the tooth together to prevent the damage from getting worse. Crowns are also used to support a large filling when there isn't enough of the tooth remaining. At our dental office in Freehold, NJ, we have experience placing dental crowns and providing our patients with high-quality, long-lasting solutions to their dental needs.

A well-maintained dental crown may last up to 15 years!
Why Should I Get Dental Crowns?
Dental crowns are an excellent solution for a variety of dental problems. They can protect a weak tooth from breaking or hold together parts of a cracked tooth. Crowns can also be used to restore an already broken tooth or a tooth that's been severely worn down. Besides, they cover and support a tooth with a large filling when there isn't enough tooth left, hold a dental bridge in place, cover misshapen or severely discolored teeth, cover a dental implant, or make a cosmetic modification. Dental crowns are made to match the color of your natural teeth, and besides their practical benefits, they can also provide a cosmetic improvement to your smile.

Dr. Khani is very thorough and understanding when it came down to my examination. She took time to explain to make sure what was happening and how to prevent damage to my teeth. Very serious doctor.

Nobody really enjoys going to the dentist, but Dr. Khani manages to make it a completely painless, enjoyable experience. The wait is never more than 5 minutes, and everyone I’ve encountered in the office has always been friendly and personable.
I have had several dentists in the past and all of them have made me anxious about having anything more than a cleaning done. I have had two appointments now for fillings as well as a cleaning, and Dr. Khani’s genuine and friendly demeanor put me at ease immediately. She always answers any questions and seems happy to educate about better habits and ways to prevent future problems. I feel like I’m in good hands with Dr. Khani and am thrilled I found her and her terrific staff.

I have always been afraid of the dentist. My anxiety was so intense. Dr Bill has made me feel so comfortable and put most of my anxiety at ease. Now instead of 2 years between appointments, I actually keep the appointments I make. Thanks Dr.Bill❤️

The Benefits Of Dental Crowns
Improved Oral Health
Dental crowns can significantly improve your oral health. By protecting a weak tooth from decay or breakage, a crown can prevent more severe dental issues down the line. It's a preventative measure that can save you from complicated procedures in the future.
Restored Functionality
With a dental crown, you can enjoy the full functionality of your mouth. It allows you to eat, drink, and speak normally, without any discomfort or pain. If you've been having difficulty with a damaged or decayed tooth, a crown can restore your ability to use your mouth normally.
Enhanced Appearance
Dental crowns are designed to look like natural teeth. They fit snugly over your damaged tooth, providing a healthy, natural-looking alternative to a discolored or damaged tooth. With a dental crown, you can smile with confidence again.
The Dental Crown Treatment Process
Examination and Preparation
The first step in getting a dental crown involves a thorough examination of the tooth. Our dentists, Dr. Khani Nguyen and Dr. Bill Heddaeus, will check the health of your tooth and decide if it's suitable for a crown. If it is, they'll file down the tooth to prepare it for the crown.
Impression Making
After your tooth has been prepared, the next step is to make an impression of your tooth. This impression will be used to custom-make your crown so that it fits perfectly over your tooth. At B+K Dental, we use advanced technology to ensure a precise and comfortable fit.
Crown Placement
The final step is the placement of the crown. Once your custom crown is ready, our dentists will place it over your tooth and cement it in place. They'll check your bite and make any necessary adjustments to ensure that your new crown feels comfortable and natural in your mouth.
