Tooth damage rarely stays minor for long. A cracked or weakened tooth can affect how you eat, how you speak, and how confident you feel in your smile. At Dr. Joseph Field’s practice in Lehi, UT, we create custom dental crowns that rebuild your tooth from the outside in, restoring both function and appearance.
Whether you are considering a tooth crown replacement or exploring your options for the first time, we are here to guide you. Book your appointment today.
A dental crown is a cap shaped to fit over a damaged tooth, covering it completely to bring back its original size, shape, and strength. They are a common solution for teeth worn down by decay, broken by injury, or left vulnerable after a root canal. Once placed, the crown acts as a protective shell while looking and feeling like a natural part of your smile.
We work with high-quality porcelain and ceramic to craft crowns that hold up well over time and sit comfortably alongside your other teeth.
Understanding the types available makes it easier to choose what works best for your situation:
A natural-looking option well suited to front teeth, where blending in with surrounding enamel is a priority.
Offer reliable strength without metal, making them a practical choice for patients with sensitivities or who prefer a fully tooth-colored result.
Created and fitted in a single appointment using our in-office technology, so you leave with a finished crown the same day.
Dr. Field will help you land on the right fit based on your oral health, preferences, and budget.
The dental crown procedure is straightforward, and Dr. Field takes care to make each step as comfortable as possible:
Your tooth is examined, and your dental history is reviewed to confirm that a crown is the right path forward.
The tooth is carefully reshaped so the crown can sit evenly and feel natural when you bite.
An accurate mold is taken to ensure the finished crown fits precisely.
At your follow-up visit, the permanent crown is bonded in place and fine-tuned for a comfortable, balanced bite.
Short on time? Same-day crowns move through every stage in one visit without any drop in quality or accuracy.
Brings back comfortable, pain-free biting and chewing
Designed to hold up through years of regular use when cared for properly
Crafted to match the tone and contour of your surrounding teeth
Covers and seals damaged tooth structure to prevent further breakdown
Gives weakened teeth a reliable layer of long-term protection
A crown could be the right solution if you:
Have a tooth that has been cracked, broken, or worn down over time
Need structural reinforcement after a root canal or an extensive filling
Are dealing with a fracture that puts the tooth at risk of further damage
Want a restoration that integrates naturally with the rest of your smile
Have a sensitivity to metal and need a biocompatible material instead
Dr. Field will evaluate your smile during your consultation and let you know if this treatment is the right path forward.
Keeping your dental crown in excellent condition requires ongoing attention:
Clean thoroughly every day, focusing on where the crown meets your gum line.
Stay away from very hard or sticky foods that could put excessive pressure on your crown.
If you grind your teeth at night, a custom nightguard can shield your crown from unnecessary wear.
Patients throughout Lehi, UT, come to Dr. Field for crown care that is thorough, personalized, and built to last:
Treatment is shaped entirely around your dental needs and the outcome you are looking for.
Dr. Field has a strong track record of placing crowns that look natural and perform reliably over time.
Our Lehi, UT office is set up to handle the full crown process in a single visit for patients who need it.
A crown is usually recommended when a tooth is too damaged for a filling alone to fix, particularly in cases involving cracks, significant decay, or structural compromise.
Yes. Porcelain and ceramic crowns are shaded and shaped to closely match your existing teeth, so the result looks consistent.
Most crowns are completed across two appointments. Same-day dental crowns are the exception, allowing everything to be wrapped up in one visit.
The best material for dental crowns depends on where the tooth sits in your mouth and what you need from it, functionally and aesthetically. Dr. Field will lay out your options clearly during your consultation.
The cost is influenced by the material used and how involved your specific case is. Dr. Field will walk you through an itemized estimate before any work begins.
Get in touch with our office as soon as possible. A loose crown needs prompt attention to prevent the underlying tooth from being exposed or further damaged.
