A dental crown is more than a restoration — it’s an investment in your oral health, functionality, and comfort. While most crowns may look similar on the surface, the technique, materials, and precision behind the process play a major role in how long a crown will last. At our practice, we take a more comprehensive approach, using advanced materials and a multi-step protocol designed to improve durability, reduce the risk of future decay, and help your crown serve you for many years to come.
Modern restorative dentistry offers many material options — zirconia, ceramic, hybrid ceramics, and high-strength porcelains. We choose materials based on each individual case, considering bite forces, tooth location, esthetics, and long-term performance. Our goal is to create a crown that not only looks natural but also withstands daily chewing forces with minimal wear.
Before any crown from the dental lab is placed in your mouth, we take an extra step— we thoroughly disinfect the crown with medical-grade alcohol to prevent cross-contamination from laboratory handling and ensures A clean, sterile surface before bonding and a safer environment for your oral tissues. Your crown is brand-new — and we make sure it is truly clean before placement.
Water spray alone cannot fully remove biofilm or bacterial residue. To provide a clean base for bonding, we use a specialized medical-grade chlorine cleaning solution to disinfect the tooth surface. This preventive measure reduces bacterial count before sealing the crown minimizing the risk of recurrent decay and improve long-term bonding success. A clean tooth means a healthier foundation — just like a stable base is essential for a strong building.
Before start the cementation, we apply a professional-grade anticaries primer. This protective layer seals dental tubules, blocking bacteria from invading deeper into the tooth tissues, helps prevent the initiation of decay under the crown — one of the most common causes of crown failure over time. Think of it as a shield placed between the tooth and the future environment of the mouth.
While modern crowns rely on mechanical retention we go one step further. We use a dual bonding protocol that combines mechanical adhesion that locks the crown physically in place adding chemical bonding to create a sealed molecular connection.
This chemical seal significantly reduces microleakage, which is when bacteria and fluids seep under the crown over time. Less microleakage means stronger long-term retention and lower risk of sensitivity By adding these extra steps — disinfection, medical-grade cleaning, caries-preventive priming, and advanced chemical bonding — we’re not just placing a crown, we’re building long-term success into it. We believe dental care should be done with precision, intention, and respect for the natural tooth. Our goal is to give you a restoration that not only looks great today but supports your oral health for years to come.
If you’ve been told you need a crown — or you’re experiencing problems with an old one — we’d be happy to evaluate your tooth and discuss the most durable and advanced options available.
