Dental Crowns In Staten Island, NY

A dental crown is a tooth shape cover that fully encases the affected tooth, restoring its shape, strength, and alignment while protecting it from further damage. Teeth compromised by decay, fractures, or wear can weaken over time, often resulting in sensitivity, discomfort, and reduced function. We use high-quality, tooth-colored materials like porcelain to ensure a natural appearance and optimal performance. Whether placed following a root canal or to repair significant structural loss, tooth caps provide durable, long-term support and contribute to improved oral health and stability.

You may benefit from a dental crown if you have:

Under the guidance of Dr. Thomas J. Galligan, our office combines detailed diagnostics with advanced materials to craft crowns that are perfectly fitted, highly durable, and built to restore function and appearance. You can count on us for reliable results and exceptional care.

Getting a dental crown usually takes two visits to our dental office. At your first appointment, we gently reshape the tooth and take precise digital impressions. These impressions are sent to a trusted dental lab, where your custom cap is made.

While your custom crown is being crafted, we place a temporary cap to protect the prepared tooth and maintain function. Within approximately two weeks, you'll return for your second and final visit, where we securely place the permanent crown. We make careful adjustments to ensure a precise fit and natural feel, so your restored tooth blends seamlessly with your smile.

A dental crown does more than restore a tooth; it helps protect your overall oral health. By covering a weak or broken tooth, a tooth cap prevents further wear or decay and reduces the risk of future extractions. It also supports the alignment of nearby teeth and maintains your bite function. With regular dental care and good at-home habits, your crown can last 10–15 years or more.
