Dental Crowns in Provo, UT
Restore Strength, Comfort, and Beauty with Custom Dental Crowns
A damaged or weakened tooth can affect more than just your smile. It can impact how you chew, speak, and feel day to day. At Dr. Joseph Field’s practice in Provo, Utah, dental crowns are designed to restore both function and appearance while preserving the natural balance of your smile.
Our approach focuses on precision, comfort, and aesthetics. Each restoration is carefully customized to blend seamlessly with surrounding teeth, giving you a result that feels strong, natural, and refined. Whether your tooth has been affected by decay, wear, or previous dental work, a crown can help protect it and extend its lifespan.
What Are Dental Crowns?
These are custom-made caps that fit securely over a damaged or weakened tooth. They are designed to fully cover the visible portion of the tooth, restoring its strength, shape, and appearance.
A crown is often recommended when a tooth is heavily decayed, cracked, worn down, or weakened by a large filling. It is also a common solution following root canal therapy or as part of a tooth crown replacement for an older restoration that no longer fits properly.
By reinforcing the remaining tooth structure, crowns help prevent further damage while improving overall comfort and aesthetics.
Benefits of Dental Crowns:
These are a trusted restorative option because they offer both functional and cosmetic advantages.
Key benefits include:
- Structural support: A crown protects a compromised tooth from further fracture or decay.
- Natural appearance: Modern materials are designed to mimic natural enamel closely.
- Improved comfort and function: Chewing and biting feel more balanced and stable.
- Long-term durability: With proper care, crowns can last many years.
Patients seeking a dependable restoration often appreciate the balance of strength and aesthetics that crowns provide.
Types of Dental Crowns and Materials
Choosing the best material for dental crowns depends on the tooth’s location, bite forces, and aesthetic goals. Dr. Field offers several high-quality options.
Porcelain-Based Restorations
Porcelain crowns are popular for visible teeth because they provide a natural color and translucency.
Ceramic Crowns
Ceramic crowns are metal-free and well-suited for patients who want a natural look with excellent biocompatibility.
Other Durable Materials
In some cases, additional materials may be recommended to provide extra strength for molars or heavy bite pressure.
During your consultation, Dr. Field will explain the different types of dental crowns and help you select the option that best fits your needs.
The Dental Crown Procedure
The dental crown procedure is carefully planned to ensure comfort and precision.
- Initial Evaluation: Your visit begins with an examination of the tooth and the surrounding area. Digital imaging may be used to assess structure and alignment.
- Tooth Preparation: The tooth is gently shaped to allow space for the crown. This step ensures a snug and natural fit.
- Impression and Design: Accurate impressions are taken so your crown can be custom-crafted to match your bite and smile.
- Placement: Once ready, the crown is securely bonded in place and adjusted for comfort.
For some patients, same-day dental crowns may be available, depending on the case and the technology used.
Who Is a Good Candidate for a Crown?
Crowns are ideal for patients who:
- Have a cracked or broken tooth
- Have extensive decay that cannot be restored with a filling
- Need protection after root canal treatment
- Want to replace an old or damaged crown
- Experience discomfort when chewing due to a weakened tooth
Dr. Field will evaluate your oral health and recommend the most appropriate restorative option.

Brush and floss daily
Avoid chewing ice or hard objects
Attend routine dental checkups
Address grinding or clenching if recommended
Maintaining good oral hygiene will prolong the life of your restoration.
