Protecting Vulnerable Teeth Against Future Damage & Decay
Dental crowns are a highly effective treatment that can restore the shape, size, and strength of your teeth. They are essentially 'caps' that are custom-made to fit over your teeth, covering the entire visible portion. Dental crowns can be made from various materials, including porcelain, ceramic, gold, or a mixture of these. They are often recommended by dentists in Stratford to protect weakened teeth, restore a broken or severely worn-down tooth, cover a dental implant, or even hide cosmetic imperfections.
Dr. Yuchen Sheng offers top-quality dental crowns, ensuring you receive the best possible care for your oral health, so call us to find out if one might be right for you.

Why Should I Get Dental Crowns?
Dental crowns are an excellent solution for many oral health problems. They can restore functionality, allowing you to chew and speak properly. Dental crowns also help improve the appearance of your affected teeth, boosting your self-confidence and enhancing your smile. If you have a tooth that's severely damaged or decayed, a dental crown can protect it from further harm. Dental crowns are also used in conjunction with other treatments, such as dental implants or root canal therapy, to provide a comprehensive solution to common oral healthcare issues.
The Benefits of Dental Crowns
- Improved Aesthetics – Dental crowns are designed to mimic the natural appearance of your teeth, blending seamlessly with the rest of your smile. They can correct the color, shape, and alignment, giving you a smile that you can be proud of. Whether it's a front tooth or a molar, a dental crown can enhance its appearance significantly.
- Long-Lasting Solution – One of the major advantages of dental crowns is their durability. With proper care and maintenance, they can last for many years, making them a cost-effective solution for long-term oral health. They are resistant to chipping and cracking, providing a robust protective cover for your affected teeth.
- Restored Functionality – A damaged or decayed tooth can make it difficult to chew or speak. Dental crowns restore the functionality of such teeth, allowing you to enjoy your favorite foods without discomfort. You’ll enjoy a stable biting surface because of the added strength they provide.
The Dental Crowns Treatment Process
There are a few steps Dr. Sheng will take when preparing you for a dental crown. From the initial examination and planning to the impressions and eventually, the placement of your restoration, she will remain by your side from beginning to end.
Examination and Preparation
The first step in getting a dental crown involves a thorough examination of your oral health. Dr. Sheng will evaluate the condition of your tooth and determine if a crown is the right solution. The tooth will then be reshaped to make room for the crown.
Impressions and Temporary Crown
After the tooth has been prepared, an impression will be taken. This impression will be used to create a custom crown that fits perfectly over your tooth. In the meantime, a temporary crown will be placed for added protection.
Placement of the Permanent Crown
Once your custom crown is ready, you will return to our office for the final step. The temporary crown will be removed, and the permanent one will be carefully cemented in place. Dr. Sheng will ensure that the crown fits properly and matches your natural teeth.
