A 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.

I recently had the opportunity to experience a successful post root canal treatment followed by a temporary crown placement done by Dr. Parker and his exceptional assistant, Ms. Nancy. I would like to take a moment to express my gratitude and write a follow-up review detailing my positive experience at their practice. From the moment I entered the office, I was immediately greeted by the friendly staff at the front desk. Their warm-hearted and kind approach instantly made me feel welcomed and cared for. They expressed genuine concern for my needs and went above and beyond to ensure I had a comfortable and stress-free visit. Upon meeting Dr. Parker and Ms. Nancy, their professionalism and expertise were evident. They took the time to thoroughly explain the entire post root canal treatment process, easing any anxieties I may have had. Their attention to detail and commitment to patient care truly set them apart. During the actual procedure, Dr. Parker’s skills were exceptional. He performed the crown placement procedure with precision and efficiency, making sure I was comfortable throughout. His expertise gave me confidence in the outcome and I could tell he genuinely cared about the quality of his work. Ms. Nancy, Dr. Parker’s assistant, played a crucial role in the procedure. Her competence and attentiveness were apparent as she anticipated Dr. Parker’s every need. Her friendly demeanor and calming presence helped create a positive and relaxing atmosphere. Post-procedure, both Dr. Parker and Ms. Nancy thoroughly explained the aftercare instructions, ensuring that I had a clear understanding of how to take care of my newly placed temporary crown. They made themselves available for any questions or concerns I might have had, demonstrating their commitment to my dental health even after the treatment was complete. Overall, my experience with Dr. Parker, Ms. Nancy, and the entire staff at the dental office exceeded my expectations. Their warm-hearted and kind nature, combined with their professionalism and expert care, made me feel confident and cared for every step of the way. I highly recommend Dr. Parker and his team for anyone in need of exceptional dental care.
Modern, friendly, highly skilled, easy to get to via Harlem OR the expressway and trustworthy. They my teeth every quarter and I've had a perfect stretch for years with them! I recommend the professionals here at Higgins! BTW, I had an old filling fall out; they gave me a new crown. Easy, we’ll done and pretty painless! Now, it looks like a real tooth back there!
I am so impressed with Higgins Family Dental. Everyone is so upbeat and thoughtful. I have a rare nerve issue and Dr. Mike was on top of my issue. I've never have had a crown put on any of my teeth. So I'm glad I didn't google the procedure because if I had I may not have had it done. Like I said Dr Mike was understanding and the procedure was mostly painless. I highly recommend Higgins Family Dental!
Clean, courteous, professional. This Dentist office is absolutely wonderful! The front desk staff is knowledgeable, and cheerful.. I got the best cleaning I've ever gotten from dental hygienist Michelle. She is very informative and helpful with my gum care. You can tell how much she cares about the work she does and about her patients. Dr. Mike is amazing. He replaced two old crowns that were too high from a previous dentist that were causing some pain and affecting my chewing and bite. Everything is comfortable with my bite now and overall my teeth, gums, and mouth are so much healthier. I hadn't been to a dentist office in years, and was so anxious about finding a new one. I'm so thrilled to have found such a wonderful Dental office. If you have fear of the Dentist, put your worries aside. They will take care of you here and put your mind at ease and get your mouth back to a healthy state. My husband started going and he loves it too. Also, There is a convenient parking lot in the back of the office. Don't hesitate, just go.
Grace was totally patience and caring during my procedure of getting impressions for my new 2 crowns. She was calm and made me feel the same. Everyone knows that going to the Dentist is trying but Dr. Mike is gentle and compassionate . Our experience at Higgins Family Dental (My wife and I) has been excellent.
