A dental crown is a custom-made “cap” that fits over the entire visible part of a tooth. Modern crowns are made from high-strength porcelain or zirconia that’s color-matched to your existing teeth, making them virtually invisible once placed.

At SOHO Dental Loft, we use iTero digital scans (no gooey impressions) and partner with a top-tier dental lab to craft crowns that fit precisely and look natural. Most crown cases are completed in two visits over 1–2 weeks.

When you might need a crown:

• A tooth with a large old filling that’s breaking down
• A cracked or fractured tooth
• A tooth that’s had a root canal
• Severe tooth decay that can’t be restored with a filling
• Cosmetic improvement of a misshapen or discolored tooth
• Replacement of an old or failing crown

What to expect:

1. Exam and digital x-rays to assess the tooth
2. Preparation visit — gently reshape the tooth, iTero scan
3. Temporary crown placed while your permanent one is crafted
4. Return visit — permanent crown cemented and adjusted
5. You walk out with a fully restored tooth

Types of crowns we offer:

• Porcelain crowns — Best aesthetics, ideal for front teeth
• Zirconia crowns — Extremely strong, great for back teeth
• Porcelain-fused-to-metal — Traditional option, still a solid choice
• Gold crowns — Available for specific patient preferences or cases
