Crowns

When extensive tooth decay or damage strikes, a crown can restore function, beauty, and form to a structurally unsound tooth. At Staten Island Dental Care, Dr. Hecht places all types of crowns, from porcelain to porcelain fused to metal to gold. Most often, our image conscious patients choose Procera crowns to maintain a gorgeous smile while restoring optimal function and strength.

If you need a crown, expect to schedule two office visits. At the first visit, Dr. Hecht will take a mold of your mouth, prepare your tooth, and place a temporary crown. The mold will go to a trusted laboratory where your custom crown will be created. Once the permanent crown arrives in our office, you will come in for its permanent placement.

Dr. Hecht will assess your damaged tooth, then suggest the best type of crown for your unique situation. You can learn more about crowns in our patient library, and if you have questions, just call us! We serve patients from across Staten Island.
