Dental Crowns in Beachwood, OH
Broken, worn, and discolored teeth create oral health issues and can feel painful when eating or drinking cold beverages. Modern dental crowns solve the problem of tooth trauma and improve the appearance of the smile with natural, durable results.
Dr. Yovi Taub uses modern techniques and materials to create crowns that last a long time and look like natural teeth.
Before beginning any dental procedure, Dr. Taub will use a local anesthetic to numb the tooth. We never begin any procedure until we make sure that you feel completely comfortable.
Dr. Taub will remove damaged or decayed tooth structure and reshape the tooth, making space for your dental crown to fit perfectly with adjacent and opposing teeth for a comfortable bite.
Rather than relying on gooey impressions, Dr. Taub uses 3M digital teeth scanning technology to measure the precise size and shape of your restoration. He will cover the tooth with a temporary crown to protect it until we receive your final crown from the dental lab.
Dental Crowns Repair Broken Teeth
Broken teeth occur due to daily wear, teeth grinding and clenching, biting into something unexpected, and sporting or auto accidents. Dental crowns cover the entirety of the remaining healthy tooth structure to provide support and stability to a troubled tooth.
Without a dental crown, the tooth can sustain decay, infection, or continue breaking down due to the force caused by chewing.
When possible, we recommend porcelain crowns to protect the appearance of the smile. In some cases, full gold or porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns may provide increased durability for patients with strong bites or a bruxism (teeth grinding) habit.
Rebuilding a Worn Bite
Chronic teeth grinding and poor occlusion (they way your bite comes together) can lead to worn down and shortened teeth, which may feel quite painful, cause jaw dysfunction, and make it difficult to eat.
As part of a full-mouth reconstruction treatment plan, rebuilding worn teeth will open the bite and result in ideal occlusion, improving the appearance and comfort of the smile.
Crowning posterior (back) teeth and placing veneers on front teeth rebuilds the entire function of the chewing system while providing patients with beautiful, long-lasting results.
Protecting Teeth After a Root Canal
Teeth become more brittle post-root canal treatment and require a dental crown to add stability and support to prevent the tooth from breaking.
Crowns in Cosmetic Dentistry
Covering teeth with porcelain crowns improves their appearance by making it possible to change both the shape and the color of the teeth. We can improve a single tooth with a dental crown or plan a full smile makeover for an entirely new look.

Frequently Asked Questions
At Beachwood Smiles, Dr. Yovi Taub recommends dental crowns for a variety of reasons. If additional treatment options exist, he will present each of them to you along with their benefits and limitations so that you can make an informed choice.
Repairing a Broken Tooth
A dental crown repairs a broken tooth that has a compromised structure. Teeth, especially molars, are subjected to significant force when chewing. A filling will not provide the same level of stability as a dental crown.
Crowns completely encase the tooth structure and absorb the force caused by chewing or teeth grinding. A nightguard may also keep teeth from breaking.
Repairing a Tooth with Deep Decay
Deeply decayed teeth sometimes require more protection than a filling provides to preserve the comfort and function of the tooth.
Stabilizing a Root Canal Tooth
Teeth requiring root canal treatment become brittle once the blood supply and nerve are removed during the root canal process. A dental crown will restore the function and strength of the tooth.
Cosmetic Improvements to the Smile
Unattractive teeth benefit from dental crowns, which can improve the color, shape, and length of the teeth.
Rebuilding Worn Teeth
Worn down teeth caused by grinding may feel sensitive and look too short. When back teeth become worn, the bite becomes out of balance and can have a negative impact on chewing and jaw function.
