A dental crown, also known as a cap, covers a tooth to restore it to its normal shape and size, thereby strengthening and improving its overall appearance.
A crown may be recommended to cover and support a tooth with a large filling. A crown can be used to attach a bridge, protect a weak tooth from breaking, or restore one that is already broken.
There are three main types of dental crowns. Each designed for different applications. Metal gold crowns are particularly suitable for posterior teeth exposed to heavy chewing forces.
Porcelain or ceramic crowns, offer excellent aesthetic results and closely match the appearance of natural teeth. They blend seamlessly in with your smile.
Finally, Porcelain fused to metal (PFM) crowns combine the strength of metal with the cosmetic appeal of porcelain. This type of crown is often recommended for load-bearing teeth that are visible when you smile.

We were new patients, I called mid afternoon during a snow storm trying to get my daughter in with a broken crown. Kaylee was so nice and worked with me to get us in the same day. Our experience at the office was amazing, everyone was very nice and informative. The office is also very clean.
Dr.Rao is a very good doctor! She had to change a feeling in one of my front teeth and I was afraid that it might need root canal and a crown after that, but Dr. Rao worked very carefully and saved that tooth. I"m very grateful, Thank you!
I got my teeth cleaned, the hygienist, Amanda, was very polite and friendly. She took great care of me and completed the appointment in a timely manner. She brought up that I was in need of a crown, which I had been putting off. Dr rao was so kind and really made me feel at ease while preping my tooth for a crown. I will be back for future cleaning and dental service.
I have been going to Progressive Dental since about 2014, give or take a year. After a childhood of improper dental care I was terrified of sitting in the chair. When I first met Dr. Chaitra Rao-Aithal I knew I found our dentist. She guided me through a treatment plan, recommended where I could get my wisdom teeth removed, and has always had great compassion for my dental anxiety. Her dental hygienists displayed the same care and patience for me. Yes, even through my crying and the need to take breaks. In 2022, it was time for my son to start going as well. While he didn’t share the same anxiety as myself, he was a little apprehensive. No problem, because everyone in the office (from front staff to the dentist) made him feel safe. Finally, in 2022 I decided it was time to take the leap and replace a front tooth crown I had since 2003. Don’t even get me started on how terrified I was since that procedure is what began my fear of the dentist. During the summer of 2022 I worked out a plan with the staff. Custom whitening trays, impressions, and a new front crown all before I went back to work for public speaking. Going in for the final step of my new crown, I was excited for the first time in almost 20 years. When I held the mirror to see my new, white, healthy smile (with my son watching me from across the room) I cried the happiest of tears. I couldn’t remember ever loving my smile and here I was, at 30 years old, loving every glance. If you read this whole review, you might be like me: searching for an office that is trauma informed, patient, good with kids, and consistent. Give them a call.
I had pain for the past year from a previous crown. I had went to my previous provider several times. One visit and less than 10 minutes my pain was gone. I only wish I had tried this practice sooner. Dr Rao immediately knew what the issue was. Many thanks, and I have a new primary
