Whether you need to repair a damaged tooth or replace an old restoration, we provide custom crowns tailored to your smile. Located in Carrollwood, we proudly serve patients throughout Northdale, Lake Magdalene, and surrounding Tampa communities.
What Is a Dental Crown and When Is It Needed?
A dental crown is a durable, tooth-shaped cap placed over a damaged or weakened tooth. It restores strength and appearance while protecting the remaining tooth structure.
You may need a crown if you have:
- A tooth that’s cracked, broken, or worn down
- A large cavity that cannot be restored with a filling
- A tooth that has undergone root canal therapy
- A replacement for an old or damaged crown
- A dental implant that requires a custom restoration
We always evaluate the extent of damage first and recommend the most conservative option possible.
Types of Crowns We Offer at Phoenix Dental
At Phoenix Dental, we prioritize materials that are strong, biocompatible, and aesthetically pleasing. We commonly use:
- Porcelain crowns for front teeth — natural-looking and stain-resistant
- Zirconia crowns for back teeth — incredibly strong and ideal for chewing surfaces
- PFM (Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal) — durable and often used in specific clinical cases
Your crown will be designed to match the shape, color, and size of your surrounding teeth, blending seamlessly into your smile.

FAQs
How long do dental crowns last?
With proper care, most crowns last 10–15 years or more. Good oral hygiene and regular cleanings help extend their lifespan.
Is the crown procedure painful?
No. We numb the area thoroughly before treatment. Most patients experience little to no discomfort during the process.
Can you replace an old metal or porcelain crown?
Yes. We can safely remove and replace old crowns, whether they’re worn, discolored, or poorly fitted.
Are crowns covered by insurance?
Most dental insurance plans cover a portion of crown costs, especially when medically necessary. We’ll help confirm your benefits before starting.
What if my tooth hurts under a crown?
Pain under a crown could signal decay or infection. We’ll take X-rays and assess the issue quickly to determine the best next step.
