New Jersey Dental Crowns

A dental crown, also known as a cap, is used for a tooth that has large areas of decay, large fillings, or is severely damaged. Porcelain dental crowns may also be used to create a complete smile makeover—whitening, straightening, closing gaps, and reshaping the existing teeth.

Natural-Looking Dental Crowns

In the past, dental crowns required a metal framework in order to be secure. This metal base showed a dark line at the gumline and caused the teeth to look opaque, making it obvious that a patient had a dental crown in place. Today's technology enables us to place dental crowns made entirely of porcelain, and with the artistic talent of an expert cosmetic dentist, you won't be able to distinguish a dental crown from your other natural teeth. In Dr. Hurley's office, this is the treatment of choice when dental crowns are required, and our patients have been thrilled with the completely natural-looking results. Dr. Hurley is able to bond porcelain dental crowns directly to your existing tooth structure, strengthening the restored tooth and making it less susceptible to cracking or breaking.



Dental crowns can dramatically change the appearance of your teeth. Tooth color can be lightened to give you a more natural and beautiful smile. Your teeth can be straightened and even completely reshaped. The procedure for placing dental crowns can be accomplished in as few as two appointments.
