Dental Crowns: Repair big cavities with a natural-looking and durable appearance
YOU DON’T WANT A DENTAL CROWN, YOU WANT HEALTHY, NATURAL-LOOKING TEETH
To have beautiful teeth that look natural, you need a great cosmetic dentist and an excellent team to work with.
When you have a relatively small cavity a tooth colored bonded composite filling is strong and looks great, but when the cavity is very large you need something that is strong enough to hold the tooth together yet look natural.
A crown is a solid ceramic that is fabricated in a dental laboratory so it fits precisely, looks great, and adds strength to the weakened tooth. Whether you have a tooth that’s decayed, broken, or weak, a crown provides protection, strength, and a natural-looking appearance.
At Dental Care Stamford, we go beyond just placing crowns. Our team of specialists is here to tailor the perfect treatment plan that specifically fits your dental goals and budget.
If you need additional treatments beyond a crown, there’s no need to visit multiple offices. We have all the experts you need right here, working together to ensure you receive comprehensive care. Our goal is to make your smile truly shine with the personalized attention and expertise you deserve. Experience the convenience and excellence of having every dental specialty under one roof, dedicated to treating all your dental needs.
Restoring Your Teeth to Their Natural, Beautiful, and Healthy State
Just like with all our wonderful patients, cavities don’t wait—they keep growing while you decide. Below is an example of a patient who waited too long, and their cavity became too large for a simple filling. Fortunately, a dental crown saved the tooth! The crown covers and protects the tooth, restoring its strength without affecting its appearance.
1. Decay in teeth under old filling
2. Decay visualized with AI
3. Severe Decay in teeth under old filling
4. Decay cleaned out
5. Decay cleaned out with core buildup

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to Your Questions
A dental crown is a cap that is placed over a damaged tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Crowns are used to protect weak teeth, cover and support teeth with large fillings, hold dental bridges in place, cover misshapen or severely discolored teeth, and cover dental implants. Crowns can be made from various materials, including porcelain, ceramic, metal, and resin.
There are several types of dental crowns, each with its advantages:
- Porcelain or Ceramic Crowns: These provide a natural look and are ideal for front teeth. They are also suitable for people with metal allergies.
- Metal Crowns: Made from gold, palladium, nickel, or chromium, these crowns are very durable and can withstand biting and chewing forces. They are often used for out-of-sight molars.
- Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM) Crowns: These offer a good balance between durability and aesthetics. The metal provides strength, while the porcelain gives a natural tooth-like appearance.
- Resin Crowns: These are less expensive and can be a good temporary option, but they wear down over time and are more prone to fractures
The process of getting a dental crown typically involves two visits to the dentist:
- First Visit: The dentist examines and prepares the tooth by removing any decay and shaping it to fit the crown. An impression of the tooth is taken and sent to a dental lab where the crown is made. A temporary crown is placed to protect the tooth until the permanent crown is ready.
- Second Visit: The temporary crown is removed, and the new permanent crown is checked for fit and color. If everything is satisfactory, the new crown is permanently cemented into place
The lifespan of a dental crown varies depending on the material used and how well it is cared for. On average, dental crowns can last between 5 to 15 years. Proper oral hygiene, including regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups, can help extend the life of a crown. Avoiding habits like grinding teeth, chewing ice, or biting fingernails can also help maintain the crown’s integrity
Dental crowns are recommended for a variety of dental conditions, including:
- Severe Tooth Decay: When a tooth is extensively decayed and cannot be restored with a filling.
- Cracked or Broken Teeth: To protect and hold together parts of a cracked tooth.
- Worn Down Teeth: To restore teeth that are severely worn down due to grinding.
- After Root Canal Treatment: To protect a tooth that has had a root canal.
- Dental Implants: To cover a dental implant.
- Cosmetic Reasons: To cover misshapen or severely discolored teeth

Answers to Your Questions
Stamford, CT, named for Stamford, Lincolnshire, England, is located on the Long Island Sound and was a popular place for New Yorkers to build summer homes in the late 1800s. Many loved the area so much that they moved here permanently and commuted to the city by train to work and conduct their business. Just as those new residents found the quaint town of the day to have a unique charm, we join the other Stamford residents of today who love this city for its special flair. Many people find this surprising because New Haven and Bridgeport are the only cities in Connecticut with higher populations than Stamford. Still, its long history has helped it develop into a truly unique modern municipality. Seated about halfway between New York City and New Haven, this city of around 130,000 is considered to be part of the New York metropolitan area, but offers residents more of a hometown feel.
Part of the reason for that small-town charm and comfort level in Stamford is its low crime rate. FBI statistics show that our city is the 16th safest of the 269 cities in the country. This is quite an achievement for an area that is part of the largest metropolis in the country. Crime control is one of the many things that contribute to residents choosing Stamford as their home. Compared with similar-sized cities, both in Connecticut and in the rest of the country, it is rare to find a safe haven like this. There is certainly a direct correlation between the city’s economic growth in recent years and the low crime rate that our citizens enjoy.
Stamford is a thriving economy in and of itself, with the largest financial district in the metropolitan area, aside from Manhattan. As the home of nine Fortune 500 companies, Stamford features one of the most concentrated centers of corporations in the entire country. Norwalk Community College and UConn Stamford are located here, along with several other popular schools, bringing new minds to the city and encouraging the local economy’s growth. Some of the dominant sectors of the current economy include retail, transportation, telecommunications, health care, information technology, tourism, and financial services. There is no other place for our office to make its home with a vibrant urban pulse like this.

To Whom it May Concern,
I have been going to Dental Care of Stamford for 15 years. I had previously been going to a dentist elsewhere in Fairfield county for six years until a filling was overfilled and … More split my moler.
The team at Dental Care is unsurpassed. They combine consummate professionalism with welcoming warmth.
Over the years I have interacted with many there. My first contact was with Dr. Simon, the indefatigable leader of this thriving practice. At every juncture of my evolving needs, Dr. Simon brought together the right team for me: Paula, Mimi, and Doctor Rools, among other highly competent members of the Dental Care team – too numerous to mention. They are like family.
When a more serious need required two surgeries, Dr. Simon conferred with the dental surgeon, Dr. Rools, to formulate my plan. Dr. Rools is one of the most gentle, calming doctors I have ever met. He carefully explained the procedures and invited my husband to join discussions of the operations so that he could answer any questions we had, also attending to my fears.
I feel grateful to live near enough to Dental Care of Stamford to be able to be in their unparalleled care.

I need to give a shout out to 3 amazing people that helped me through an extraction of my Molar. Dr Rools was the man. A beast! He calmly got that dam tooth out with a great bed side manner. But … More he didn’t do it alone… there was dear ‘ole Nelly that provided confidence that all will be ok.. especially the nitrous oxide! Amazing. Lastly there was Mimi.. she was awesome. She stood by my side and even held my hand when they were literally jack hammering my tooth. If felt like a rock quarry in my mouth. But I couldn’t have asked for a better 3 person crew. I hope you never need a tooth extraction .. I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy ..( maybe ). But If you do then make sure it’s these 3 superstars ! J -
My first time at Dental Care and the experience was so great! Joanne did an amazing job with cleaning and Dr. Patel did my fillings in the front to perfection. Oh and Mimi you did an incredible job with … More budgeting, we worked out my financing so smooth. Thank you so much Mimi, you really made me feel comfortable, customer service was beyond top tier. Finally found a Dental home. -
Mimi was awesome, caring and responsible!! As was Dr. Roth!
