Crowns in Lake Nona, FL
A dental crown is a tooth shaped restoration that completely covers a damaged tooth to protect it from further wear while restoring its size, shape, and strength. Crowns are commonly recommended when a tooth has been weakened by extensive decay, fractures, large fillings, root canal treatment, or years of normal wear.
At Makris Dental Prosthodontics, every crown is individually crafted to match the color, contours, and bite of your natural teeth. Our goal is not simply to repair a tooth, but to restore proper function while creating a seamless, natural appearance.
Dental crowns can solve a variety of restorative and cosmetic concerns, including:
- Protecting cracked or weakened teeth
- Restoring teeth after root canal therapy
- Replacing large or failing fillings
- Repairing broken or severely worn teeth
- Covering misshapen or discolored teeth
- Completing a dental implant restoration
- Supporting a dental bridge
- Improving the appearance of damaged teeth
Following a comprehensive examination, we will recommend the most appropriate treatment based on your oral health and long term goals.
Dental crowns provide more than cosmetic improvement. They play an important role in preserving your natural teeth and supporting lasting oral health.
- Restore Tooth Strength: A crown reinforces a weakened tooth, allowing it to withstand normal chewing forces with greater confidence.
- Natural Looking Results: Each restoration is custom fabricated to complement the shade, shape, and texture of your surrounding teeth.
- Preserve Your Natural Tooth: Whenever possible, preserving your natural tooth structure is preferable to extraction and replacement.
- Comfortable Bite: Carefully designed crowns help restore proper bite alignment and chewing efficiency.
- Durable Materials: Modern ceramic and porcelain materials are highly resistant to wear while providing exceptional aesthetics.
- Long Lasting Solution: With good oral hygiene and routine dental care, many crowns provide reliable performance for well over a decade.
- Protect Against Future Damage: Covering a compromised tooth reduces the likelihood of additional fractures or structural deterioration.
A successful dental crown requires much more than simply covering a tooth. Proper fit, bite balance, aesthetics, and long term durability all depend on careful planning and expert craftsmanship.

Our Dental Crown Process
Every restoration is completed through a carefully planned process designed to ensure an accurate fit and outstanding results.
1. Comprehensive Evaluation
We begin by examining your tooth, taking digital images, and discussing your symptoms, concerns, and treatment options.
2. Tooth Preparation
The damaged portion of the tooth is carefully removed while preserving as much healthy structure as possible. The tooth is then shaped to support the new crown.
3. Digital Impressions
Using advanced digital technology, we capture highly accurate impressions that allow your custom crown to be fabricated with exceptional precision.
4. Temporary Protection
While your permanent crown is being created, a temporary restoration protects the prepared tooth and maintains your comfort.
5. Final Crown Placement
Once your custom crown is ready, we verify its fit, color, bite, and overall appearance before securely bonding it into place.
The cost of a dental crown depends on the complexity of treatment and the type of restoration recommended for your smile.
Several factors may influence the final investment, including:
- Location of the tooth being restored
- Crown material selected
- Extent of tooth damage
- Need for root canal treatment
- Core build up procedures
- Implant supported versus natural tooth crown
- Dental insurance coverage
During your consultation, we will explain every aspect of your treatment and provide a personalized estimate so you fully understand your options before moving forward.
