A cracked, worn, or weakened tooth can make everyday things, like enjoying a meal, feel harder than they should. A custom dental crown can help protect your tooth, restore your bite, and give you one less thing to think about when you smile.
A dental crown is a custom-made covering that fits over a tooth to restore its shape, strength, and appearance. Dr. O’Shea may recommend one when a tooth has a large filling, has broken or worn down, or needs protection after root canal treatment. Crowns can also complete a dental implant or help support a dental bridge.
The goal is to help your smile look and feel like yours again. At TJ O’Shea DMD, we’ll take time to explain why a crown may help and what other options make sense for your tooth.
Dr. O’Shea believes you should understand your care before moving forward with it. He’ll listen to what’s bothering you, examine your tooth, and walk you through his recommendation without pressure. As a Roswell native, he’s proud to build lasting relationships with the neighbors and families he cares for.
Our team takes a thoughtful, conservative approach to restorative dentistry. We focus on what your tooth needs, how your bite feels, and how your crown will fit into your smile. You can expect honest answers and a warm welcome at every visit.
A crown can help preserve a damaged natural tooth. When a tooth is missing, a crown can also serve as the visible replacement attached to a dental implant.

A crown covers a tooth that needs more support than a filling alone may provide. It can help protect the remaining tooth structure from further damage.
A broken or worn tooth can change the way you bite. By restoring the tooth’s shape, a crown can help you chew more comfortably once any underlying dental concerns have been addressed.
Crowns can improve the appearance of teeth that are damaged, worn, or noticeably discolored. Your restoration is planned with the surrounding teeth in mind.

Dr. O’Shea will evaluate the tooth, discuss your symptoms, and determine whether a crown is the right treatment. If another issue needs attention first, he’ll explain that as part of your plan.

When your crown is ready, Dr. O’Shea will check its appearance, fit, and bite before securing it in place. We’ll also show you how to care for it at home.

Once your permanent crown is made, your dentist will install it using dental cement, replacing the temporary crown.
A traditional crown usually takes two visits. At the first, we prepare the tooth and may place a temporary crown. At the second, we check and place your final crown. Dr. O’Shea will review the timing for your treatment plan.
A crown can last for many years, but its lifespan depends on factors such as the crown material, your bite, oral hygiene, and the health of the tooth beneath it. Regular checkups help us monitor both the crown and the surrounding tooth.
No. A crown covers an existing tooth. A dental implant replaces a missing tooth root, and a crown can be attached to the implant to complete the replacement tooth.
Brush twice a day, floss around the crown daily, and keep up with regular dental visits. The crown itself cannot get a cavity, but the natural tooth at its edges still needs care. If your crown feels loose or your bite feels different, give us a call.
Coverage depends on your plan and the reason for treatment. Our team can help you review your benefits and understand your estimated costs before you move forward.
