Dental Crowns in Corona De Tucson, AZ
Restore Strength and Beauty to Damaged Teeth
A weakened or broken tooth doesn’t always need to be extracted. With a custom dental crown, we can preserve your natural tooth structure while restoring strength, function, and appearance. At Santa Rita Family Dentistry, we offer high-quality porcelain and ceramic crowns designed to blend seamlessly with your smile and provide long-lasting protection.
If you're experiencing discomfort when chewing, have a tooth that’s cracked, or want to improve the look of a misshapen tooth, a crown could be the right solution.
What Is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown is a custom-made cap that fits securely over a damaged or weakened tooth. It restores the tooth’s original shape and size while protecting it from further damage. Crowns are also used to finish certain restorative procedures, such as after root canal therapy or to anchor a dental bridge.
Crowns serve both cosmetic and functional purposes, making them a key part of many comprehensive treatment plans.

Types of Dental Crowns We Offer
We provide two leading materials for dental crowns—both chosen for their strength, biocompatibility, and natural appearance.
Porcelain Crowns
Porcelain crowns are ideal for restoring teeth in the front of the mouth where aesthetics are especially important. They’re color-matched to your existing teeth and can reflect light similarly to natural enamel, giving you a beautiful and natural-looking result.
Best for:
- Highly visible teeth
- Cosmetic concerns
- Patients seeking metal-free options
Ceramic Crowns
Ceramic crowns offer excellent durability and a natural finish, making them a versatile option for both front and back teeth. They are known for their strength and are often recommended when both function and esthetics are priorities.
Best for:
- Patients with strong bite forces
- Posterior teeth
- Individuals with metal sensitivities
When Do You Need a Dental Crown?
You may be a candidate for a dental crown if you have:
- A large cavity that can't be filled
- A cracked, chipped, or worn-down tooth
- A tooth weakened by previous dental work
- A tooth that’s recently undergone a root canal
- A missing tooth that needs support for a dental bridge
- Cosmetic concerns like discoloration or misshapen teeth
What to Expect During Crown Treatment
- Initial Assessment
We'll start with a full evaluation and imaging to determine if a crown is the right option for your tooth. If decay or infection is present, it will be treated first. - Tooth Preparation
A small portion of enamel is removed to make room for the crown. Impressions are then taken to create a perfect custom fit. - Temporary Crown
A temporary crown protects your tooth while your permanent one is fabricated. - Final Placement
At your second visit, your permanent crown is securely bonded to the tooth and adjusted for comfort and bite alignment.
Once placed, your crown will look, feel, and function like a natural tooth.
