Dental Crowns in Boca Raton, FL
Bad oral hygiene habits and avoiding visits to the dentist are a recipe for disaster for your teeth. This lack of dental care can lead to tooth decay, which can cause cavities that will weaken your teeth. Fortunately, our dentists at Dental Care of Boca Raton can restore teeth with decay damage by applying dental crowns over them.
Who Needs Crowns?
Placing a dental crown over a tooth with decay damage is only one option for saving It. One of our dentists in Boca Raton will thoroughly examine your teeth, then provide the options available to you, including a root canal and then a dental crown to preserve the tooth.
What Type of Crown Will You Get?
The dentist working on your tooth will provide the options that you have for crown materials. However, the placement of the tooth will usually influence what type of crown that they will recommend.
For instance, if it’s a premolar or molar that they are repairing, then they will recommend a durable material like gold, porcelain fused to metal, or Zirconia. If you want a crown that blends in with your other teeth, then the porcelain fused to metal or Zirconia will be your best option.

I absolutely LOVE this Dental office! Dr. A is the absolute best, very experienced, quick and genuinely cares about the comfortability of his patients. I wouldn't want anyone else to work on my teeth but him. His staff are all extremely kind and I always leave much better (mentally and physically) and cleaner than when I went in. I would absolutely recommend this place 100% of the time!! :)
Rachel HoldmanI had to have my front tooth crown replaced because it was poorly done by a previous dentist
My new front crown is PERFECT! Dr A and the staff made sure I was completely satisfied and the tooth matches perfectly. This is very difficult to do with your front teeth
Highly recommend Dental Care! They also have very convenient office hours!

My hygienist was AMAZING, she made sure I was comfortable during my visit and my cleaning, she explained everything to me.The Dr was great too. Definitely staying with them while we live in FL.
Mileydi MathisonVery nice place and wonderful staff, I was always very well informed about every aspect of my treatment plan and they assisted me very well on some scheduling issues I had due to my time availability. The doctor was very knowledgeble and made me feel very confident and relaxed about my diagnostic and treatment.
So far I have been to the office twice and had a very good experience. I definitely recommend.
