Soul Smiles

Over time, your teeth can get worn down and damaged. To protect a tooth and restore its size and shape, our experts at Soul Smiles can fit it with a custom-made dental crown. 


A crown is basically a tooth-shaped cap that we secure on your natural tooth. The crown will be designed to match the shape, size, and color of your surrounding teeth. Once we have restored your tooth with a crown, your smile will look and feel as good as new.

Different Types of Dental Crowns

Crowns can be made of different materials depending on your specific needs. Below are the most common types of crowns: 


  • Porcelain looks the most like natural teeth because of its light-reflecting properties
  • Metal or gold are strong solutions for more conservative tooth restoration 
  • Stainless steel is used to restore baby teeth after extensive tooth decay

How to Take Care of Dental Crowns

With a proper oral hygiene routine at home and twice-yearly visits to the dentist, your crowns can last an average of 10 years.

  • In order to keep your crown in good shape, it’s important to follow these good habits:

    • Brush your teeth twice a day
    • Floss between all of your teeth daily
    • Use an antibacterial mouthwash every day
    • Avoid chewing on hard foods or ice, biting fingernails, etc.
    • Avoid using your teeth to open packaging

These simple actions can help your crown last longer and keep your smile looking great.
