Dental Crowns in Metairie, LA

Restore Strength, Function & Beauty to Damaged Teeth

When a tooth is damaged, worn, or weakened, a dental crown can restore its shape, strength, and appearance—helping you chew, speak, and smile with confidence again. At Frost Family Dental in Metairie, LA, we offer custom-made, natural-looking dental crowns to protect and rebuild your teeth with long-lasting results.

Whether you need to repair a cracked tooth or restore a tooth after a root canal, a dental crown may be the ideal solution.

What Is a Dental Crown?

A dental crown is a tooth-shaped “cap” that fits over the entire visible portion of a damaged or weakened tooth. It restores the tooth’s size, shape, and strength, while also improving its appearance. Crowns are custom-designed to blend seamlessly with your smile and are made from high-quality materials such as porcelain or ceramic for the most natural look and feel.

When Is a Dental Crown Needed?

Dr. Lawrence Frost may recommend a crown to:

  • Restore a tooth with a large cavity or broken filling

  • Protect a cracked or weakened tooth

  • Cover and support a tooth after root canal therapy

  • Replace a missing tooth as part of a dental implant or bridge

  • Improve the appearance of a misshapen or discolored tooth

  • Strengthen a tooth with severe wear from grinding or erosion

Types of Dental Crowns We Offer

At Frost Family Dental, we primarily offer porcelain and ceramic crowns for their durability and natural aesthetic. These materials are ideal for both front and back teeth, offering strength and beauty in one solution.

Benefits of Dental Crowns

  • ✅ Restore the strength and function of damaged teeth

  • ✅ Protect weakened teeth from further damage

  • ✅ Custom-shaded for a natural, seamless appearance

  • ✅ Long-lasting with proper care

  • ✅ Improve the look of your smile and bite alignment

What to Expect During the Crown Process

  1. Consultation & Evaluation
    We start with a thorough exam and digital imaging to determine if a crown is the best solution.

  2. Tooth Preparation
    The affected tooth is gently reshaped to make room for the crown. We’ll then take precise impressions for your custom crown.

  3. Temporary Crown
    While your final crown is being made in a dental lab, a temporary crown is placed to protect your tooth.

  4. Final Crown Placement
    Once your custom crown is ready, we’ll remove the temporary and securely bond the final crown in place—ensuring a perfect fit, feel, and look.

How to Care for Your Dental Crown

Dental crowns are durable and long-lasting, especially with good home care:

  • Brush and floss daily, just like natural teeth

  • Avoid chewing ice or very hard foods

  • Visit us regularly for cleanings and exams to monitor your crown and overall oral health

With proper care, your crown can last 10–15 years or longer.
