Dental Crowns
What Are Dental Crowns?
A crown is a tooth-shaped cap that is placed over a healthy tooth after the damaged portion has been removed. Crowns are often the final step in a root canal treatment. If you have lost teeth, we can also secure a crown to a dental implant to fill the gaps in your smile. We can craft your restoration from several different materials including porcelain, resin, and ceramic to best suit your budget and aesthetic goals.

Our innovative Cadent iTero™ scanner takes digital impressions of your teeth to create ultra-precise custom crowns. The scanner has done away with outdated messy putty impressions, improving the comfort of treatment, and the quality of the final results. Dr. Buono was the first cosmetic dentist in the world to use this technology, which is now utilized by dental practices worldwide for its convenience and accuracy.
Cadent iTero Scanner
The technology works by capturing a detailed 3-D model of your teeth and gums within seconds.

What will my finished crown look like?
Porcelain Crowns Are Virtually Indistinguishable From Natural Teeth
We craft our dental crowns from the highest quality restorative materials. Porcelain, a favorite among patients and dentists alike, provides the most life-like aesthetics mimicking the qualities of natural teeth. We match the shade of porcelain to your natural tooth enamel for seamless end results.
Many patients opt for a whitening procedure prior to dental crown treatment to update their entire smile to a consistent bright shade of white.

Many dental patients put off treatment because they're worried about cost. We offer free initial consultations so you've got nothing to lose as you explore experiencing a healthier, more beautiful smile.

Most crowns have a lifespan of about seven to ten years. This can be extended though with good dental hygiene and proper care. That dedicated care can also prevent decay or an infection in the root canal of a tooth, so you shouldn't require further treatment other than replacing your crown due to wear and tear.
Maintaining Your Dental Crown
Most crowns have a lifespan of about seven to ten years. This can be extended though with good dental hygiene and proper care. Maintenance is relatively simple and intuitive. We recommend that our patients follow a few simple tips:
Avoid Unnecessary Pressure
It is important to avoid extremely hard or chewy foods that might dislodge your crack the restoration. Refrain from grinding your teeth or opening packages with your mouth, since a dental crown can wear down just like natural tooth enamel.
Practice Good Oral Hygiene
Brush your teeth twice daily and floss regularly, especially around your crown treated tooth. Rather than pulling the floss up and down, the floss should be pulled front to back to prevent dislodging the crown.
Attend Regular Check-Ups
Visit our Long Island, NY, practice bi-annually for deep cleaning and check-up. The dentist will be able to check the status of your crown and make sure your natural tooth is still properly protected and healthy.
