What is a
Dental Crown?
A dental crown is a custom-made covering that encases the entire surface of a damaged or decayed tooth, effectively restoring its original shape, size, and strength. Often referred to as a "cap," a crown protects the underlying tooth structure that cannot be adequately repaired with fillings or other restorations. Made from various materials, including porcelain, metal, or a combination of both, crowns are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, providing both functional and aesthetic benefits. They are commonly used in situations such as after a root canal, for broken or fractured teeth or to enhance the appearance of cosmetically imperfect teeth.
When Do You Need
a Dental Crown?
Dental crowns offer a versatile solution for various dental issues, providing strength and aesthetic improvements. They are beneficial for patients who need:
- Restoring functionality and appearance for broken or fractured teeth.
- Improving the shape or color of a tooth for cosmetic enhancement.
- Supporting a tooth with extensive decay.
- Protecting teeth with large or damaged fillings.
- Adding strength and structure to heavily filled teeth.
- Safeguarding a tooth that has undergone root canal treatment.
What Does Getting a
Crown Involve at Island Dental?
- Tooth Molding: We take several precise molds (impressions) of your tooth, which will be used to create your custom crown.
- Tooth Preparation: The tooth is prepared by removing any decay and reshaping the surface to ensure a proper fit for the crown
- Temporary Crown: A temporary crown is placed using temporary cement to protect the prepared tooth while your permanent crown is being fabricated.
- Crown Placement: In your second appointment, the temporary crown is removed, and the new crown is placed carefully to ensure it fits well and looks natural.

Best Dentist on Maui
Highest regard to the level of service and skill at this practice. My dental hygienist was the most tactful and comprehensive I have experienced since leaving my holistic hygienist on Oahu. Finding this level of care here in Maui is such a comfort. Mahalo for making me feel comfortable and cared for.
I had 2 caps replaced today. I was able to get an appointment right away. I like Dr. Brooks. He was very good about letting me know what to expect during the procedure and kept me informed about what he was doing before he transitioned to each part of the procedure. It helped decrease any anxiety. His technician, Casey was so sweet and caring. All the way to the ladies running the front desk, I felt very comfortable and confident with my care. Thank you, Island Smiles Dental Care! 😁
My sisters referred me to Island Smiles Dental Care so I set up an initial appointment to try them out. I had to reschedule, but they were able to fit me into a last-minute appointment when I called again. The entire process of getting X-rays and the cleaning with Dr. Stanley went well. He was attentive to my concerns and dental history. I have to go back to get some work done, but I'm happy it was discovered when it was
