A dental crown, also known as a cap, covers a tooth to restore it to its normal shape and size, thereby strengthening and improving its overall appearance.
A crown may be recommended to cover and support a tooth with a large filling. A crown can be used to attach a bridge, protect a weak tooth from breaking, or restore one that is already broken.
There are three main types of dental crowns. Each designed for different applications. Metal gold crowns are particularly suitable for posterior teeth exposed to heavy chewing forces.
Porcelain or ceramic crowns, offer excellent aesthetic results and closely match the appearance of natural teeth. They blend seamlessly in with your smile.
Finally, Porcelain fused to metal (PFM) crowns combine the strength of metal with the cosmetic appeal of porcelain. This type of crown is often recommended for load-bearing teeth that are visible when you smile.

This is easy, I've been with Grant Road Dental since 1996! The very first year I asked if Dr. Rutner if he'd be retiring any time soon? His answer then was "No, I have 4 kids to get through college!" Since then, I've moved to the Peninsula in 2002, but I still trek-it down for all my dental needs. I've had root canals, teeth pop-off, multiple crowns and the very latest ordeal for me...an implant. All which have been handled with the very best care and the best payment plan. I'm not going anywhere else! Last I checked....his the fourth kid graduated college, and lucky for me he's still practicing! ( I didn't know how young he was back in the day!) This practice is the BEST!
This is the most professional and classy dentist office I have been to. Going to the dentist is not of my favorite things to do, but they have totally changed that. The entire staff made me feel comfortable when I came in for my services. They are extremely informative and even called to check on me after my crown. I have been telling everyone I know about them and will continue to refer them.
Grant Road Dental is awesome! It's a bit of a drive for me, but once you find a dental office you love going to, it's worth driving the extra miles! I've had to have a couple of crowns and onlays done - the fact that they can create them right there in the office and place them on the same day is HUGE when you don't have a lot of free time available to go back and forth. My hygienist, Melissa, is super sweet & gentle, but also does a great job! Totally recommend them!
Highly recommended. Appointment started on time. Friendly staff. Digna gave a thorough and painless cleaning. Previous treatments of fillings and implant crown all went smoothly with good results. A+
Dr. Rutner has been my dentist for over ten years and he has been wonderful. From general cleanings and exams, adult Invisalign treatment, to the replacement of numerous 15 + year old crowns, I have been extremely pleased with the results. His staff is very professional and friendly as well, with many of them having worked there for over 10 years. On my most recent visit, Dr Rutner was able to get me in very quickly to replace a veneer on my front tooth that I had damaged. He was able to make a perfect replacement right in his office and installed it immediately. It looks great, so many thanks Dr. Rutner.
