A dental crown is a custom-fitted porcelain cap placed over a damaged, decayed, or weakened tooth to restore its shape, strength, and appearance. Boston Smile Center has placed crowns for patients from across Boston and the surrounding area for more than 35 years, and many of those patients choose our Brookline office specifically because of the quality of the ceramic work and the personal attention they receive.
Our crowns are made from high-quality dental porcelain that resists staining and closely matches the translucency of natural tooth enamel. Whether you are dealing with a cracked molar, a tooth with extensive decay, or a tooth that needs protection following other treatment, a porcelain crown can provide a lasting restoration that blends seamlessly with the rest of your smile.

We offer a full range of crown-related restorations for patients traveling from Boston and the surrounding area, all under one roof and without a referral.
Our crowns are made from fine dental porcelain with no metal base, matched to the color and translucency of your surrounding teeth. The result is a restoration that looks and functions like a natural tooth. Learn more about our dental crowns.
For qualifying cases, we can design, mill, and place a porcelain crown in a single appointment using CEREC technology. Boston patients who prefer to avoid a second visit can often complete the full crown process in one trip to our Brookline office. Learn more about CEREC same-day crowns.
Crowns are used to restore teeth that are cracked, severely decayed, or significantly worn down. They can also protect a tooth that has been weakened or cover an existing implant or bridge abutment. Learn more about dental crown placement.
A crown is commonly recommended to protect and strengthen a tooth following root canal treatment. If you have recently had a root canal performed elsewhere and need the crown placed, our team can evaluate the tooth and discuss your restoration options. Learn more about our crown services.
An implant-supported crown replaces a single missing tooth with a restoration that is anchored directly to the jawbone and topped with a custom porcelain crown. Boston patients can address both the implant placement and the crown at our Brookline office. Learn more about dental implants.
A dental bridge uses two porcelain crowns on the adjacent teeth as anchors to support a replacement tooth in the gap. Boston patients who are missing one or more teeth can learn about bridge options alongside implants during a consultation at our Brookline office. Learn more about dental bridges.

Frequently Asked Questions from Boston Patients
With proper care, an all-porcelain crown typically lasts 10 to 15 years, and many last longer. Longevity depends on where the crown is placed, your bite, and daily habits. Avoiding hard foods and staying current with cleanings and checkups are the most reliable ways to extend a crown’s life. If you notice any sensitivity, looseness, or changes to your bite after placement, let us know so we can evaluate it promptly.
A traditional crown is fabricated in an off-site dental lab and requires two visits: one to prepare the tooth and place a temporary, and a second to seat the final restoration. A CEREC same-day crown is designed, milled, and placed in a single appointment at our Brookline office. Both options use high-quality porcelain and produce durable, natural-looking results. For qualifying cases, same-day crowns are a practical choice for Boston patients who want to minimize the number of trips to our office.
In most cases, yes. A root canal removes the inner pulp of the tooth, which can leave it more brittle over time. Placing a crown over the treated tooth protects it from fracture and restores its function. This is especially true for back teeth that absorb the force of chewing. If you have recently had a root canal performed by another provider and still need the crown placed, our team can evaluate the tooth and discuss restoration timing and options with you.
All-porcelain crowns are color-matched and shaped to blend with the surrounding teeth. The porcelain we use mimics the translucency of natural enamel, which means the crown reflects light in a way that looks consistent with the teeth next to it. Most patients find that the result is indistinguishable from a natural tooth. We take the time to match shade carefully before the crown is fabricated, so the final result integrates naturally with your smile.
