When a tooth is too damaged for a filling, a crown brings it back to full strength and beauty. Hillsboro Dental crafts natural-looking crowns that protect and restore your tooth, for patients across Green Hills and Nashville.
What is a dental crown?
A crown is a custom “cap” that covers the entire visible portion of a tooth, restoring its shape, size, strength, and appearance. It's a long-lasting way to protect a tooth that's cracked, heavily decayed, root-canal-treated, or worn.
When you might need a crown
- A large cavity that a filling can't support
- A cracked, weakened, or broken tooth
- A tooth that has had root canal therapy
- Worn-down or misshapen teeth
- To complete a dental implant or anchor a bridge
What to expect
We shape the tooth, take a precise impression, and place your custom crown — color-matched to blend seamlessly with your smile. With good care, a quality crown can last many years.
