Rebuild a damaged, cracked, or heavily filled tooth with a natural-looking custom crown by Dr. Azadeh Ashtiany — strong, seamless, and made to match your smile.

A crown caps a weakened tooth to restore its shape, strength, and appearance — often the best way to keep a tooth that’s cracked, worn, or heavily filled.
Caps and reinforces a cracked or heavily filled tooth so it doesn’t fracture.
Custom porcelain is shade-matched to blend seamlessly with the teeth around it.
Chew and bite normally again — a crown returns your tooth to full strength.
With good care, a quality crown can last 10–15 years or more.

A clear, comfortable path — you’ll always know what’s next and what it costs before we begin.
We assess the tooth and match your crown’s shade for a seamless look.
The tooth is gently shaped and a precise digital impression is taken.
You’ll wear a natural-looking temporary while your custom crown is crafted.
Your final crown is checked for a perfect fit and bonded securely in place.
“My goal is simple: results that look natural, and a visit that feels calm from the moment you sit down.”

Crown cost depends on the material and the tooth being restored. We give you a clear, itemized quote at your visit — no surprises. See our insurance & financing options. Need the tooth’s nerve treated first? Learn about root canal therapy.
With good oral hygiene and regular checkups, a quality crown typically lasts 10–15 years or longer. Avoiding hard foods and not using your teeth as tools helps them last.
No — the tooth is fully numbed during preparation, so the process is comfortable. Any mild sensitivity afterward usually settles within a few days.
Traditionally two visits — one to prepare and impression the tooth and place a temporary, and one to fit the final crown a couple of weeks later.
We most often use natural-looking porcelain or ceramic, shade-matched to your teeth. We’ll recommend the best material for the tooth’s location and your bite.
Fillings repair smaller areas of decay; a crown is used when a tooth is cracked, heavily filled, or too weak for a filling to protect. We’ll advise which is right at your exam.
