A cracked, worn, or heavily filled tooth can still work for years if it gets the right protection. A dental crown covers the entire visible part of the tooth, holding it together and restoring its shape so you can bite and chew with confidence again.

At Care For You Dental, Dr. Lubna Anwar places dental crowns for patients across Las Vegas who want a restoration that looks natural and lasts. Crowns are a core part of our restorative dentistry in Las Vegas, and we use digital X-rays, an intraoral camera, and a Medit intraoral scanner to plan each one around your bite.

What a Dental Crown Does for a Damaged Tooth

A crown is a tooth-shaped cap that fits over a tooth after it has been shaped to make room. It restores strength to a tooth that a filling can no longer support, and it can improve the tooth’s color, size, and shape at the same time.

According to MedlinePlus from the National Library of Medicine, getting a crown usually takes two visits, and most crowns last at least 5 years, with many lasting 15 to 20 years when they are cared for well.

When You May Need a Dental Crown

Dr. Anwar recommends a crown when a tooth needs more support than a filling can give. Common reasons include:

  • Large fillings: a tooth with more filling than natural structure is at risk of breaking, and composite fillings are no longer enough.
  • Cracked or broken teeth: a crown holds a weakened tooth together. If you have a fresh break, read what to do if you chip your tooth.
  • After a root canal: back teeth often need a crown after root canal treatment to protect them from fracture.
  • Worn teeth: grinding can shorten teeth over time, and a crown can rebuild height and shape.
  • Replacing a missing tooth: crowns anchor dental bridges and sit on top of dental implants.

At your exam, we will show you images of the tooth from our intraoral camera so you can see exactly why a crown is or is not the right fit.

Meet the Dentist Behind Your Crown

Every crown we place is reviewed by the dentist who will seat it before it ever reaches your mouth.

Dr. Lubna Anwar

Dentist and Practice Owner

Dr. Anwar graduated from the University of Southern California School of Dentistry, where she was named to the Dean’s List, and has more than ten years of experience in general dentistry. She once taught in the dental residency program at Lutheran Medical Center in Ventura, California. She is a perfectionist about shade and fit, and she sends a crown back to the lab when it does not look and feel right.

A crown that matches your smile, not just your tooth

Shade, shape, and bite are checked before your crown is cemented, so it blends in with the teeth around it.

What to Expect When You Get a Dental Crown

Most crowns are completed over two appointments. Here is what each step looks like at our office.

Step 1

Exam and Imaging

We take digital X-rays and photos to check the tooth, its root, and the surrounding gums.

Step 2

Tooth Preparation

After numbing the area, Dr. Anwar shapes the tooth and removes any decay or old filling material.

Step 3

Digital Scan and Temporary

Our Medit intraoral scanner records the tooth without messy impressions, and you leave with a temporary crown.

Step 4

Final Crown

At your second visit, we check the fit, shade, and bite of your permanent crown, then cement it in place.

Some patients may be candidates for same-day crowns, and we can talk through that option at your visit.

Dental Crown Cost, Insurance, and Financing in Las Vegas

The cost of a dental crown depends on the tooth, the material, and whether you need other care first, such as a root canal or a buildup. We give you a written estimate before treatment.

Dental Crown FAQs

Here are answers to the questions Las Vegas patients ask most about crowns.

Does getting a crown hurt?

The tooth is numbed before it is shaped, so most patients feel pressure rather than pain. The tooth may feel sensitive to hot or cold for a short time afterward, which usually fades on its own.

How long does a dental crown last?

Many crowns last 15 years or longer with good care. Brushing, flossing, regular checkups, and avoiding chewing ice or hard objects all help your crown last.

What are crowns made of?

Crowns can be made from porcelain, zirconia, metal, or a combination. Dr. Anwar recommends a material based on where the tooth sits, how hard you bite, and how important it is for the crown to match nearby teeth.

Can I eat with a temporary crown?

Yes, but chew on the other side when you can and avoid sticky or hard foods. Slide floss out to the side instead of pulling it up so the temporary stays in place.

Will my crown look natural?

We match the shade and shape to your surrounding teeth. If the color or fit is not right at the try-in, the crown goes back to the lab before it is cemented.
