Dental Crowns in Pompano Beach
Strength and a natural look for a tooth that needs a little backup.
Dental Crowns in Pompano Beach
A dental crown is a custom cap that covers a weakened tooth to restore its strength, shape, and natural appearance. At My Pompano Dentist in Pompano Beach, Dr. Browne designs each crown from a digital scan, so it matches the teeth beside it and feels right the moment you bite down.
Giving a Tired Tooth Its Strength Back
Some teeth just need a little reinforcement to stay strong and comfortable for the long haul. A crown gently caps the tooth and restores its natural shape, so you can bite and chew without a second thought. It's matched to blend right in, too, so no one can tell which tooth it is. You end up with a tooth that works and looks like it always belonged there, quietly doing its job.
Shaded to Blend Right In
We shape and shade every crown to blend with the teeth right around it, so it never stands out or catches your eye. With our in-office technology the process stays smooth and precise, and the result looks and feels like a natural part of your smile. You won't end up with something that looks off in the mirror or feels wrong when you bite, just a tooth that quietly does its job.
You'll Know Why Before We Start
Before we begin, we'll show you what we see and explain in plain words why a crown makes sense for this particular tooth. We keep you comfortable and at ease the whole way through, working at a pace that suits you rather than the clock. And we'll never suggest a crown you don't truly need, because our job is to give you honest options and good care, not to talk you into anything at all.
When do you recommend a crown instead of a filling?
It usually comes down to how much support a tooth needs. A filling is perfect for a small repair, but when more of the tooth needs reinforcing to stay strong and comfortable, a crown does the job by capping and protecting the whole tooth. We'll show you what we see on your scan and explain plainly why one makes more sense than the other, then leave the choice to you.
What's it like to get a crown?
It's a comfortable, well-understood process. We gently prepare the tooth, take a digital scan instead of messy molds, and design a crown shaped and shaded to match your smile. We keep you at ease the whole time. When it's ready, we make sure the fit and bite feel just right before it's set, because comfort is the goal, not just appearance.
How do I take care of a crown?
Wonderfully simply: treat it like your natural teeth. Brush, floss, and keep up with your regular checkups, and your crown can look and feel great for many years. We'll point out any easy habits worth keeping, and we'll always let you know honestly at your visits how everything is holding up. • Restores strength and shape • Shaded to match your smile • Precise, in-office technology • Only recommended when it truly helps Schedule a Consultation
How much does a dental crown cost in Pompano Beach, FL?
A crown is priced per tooth, and the figure depends on the material chosen and whether the tooth needs anything underneath first, such as a root canal. My Pompano Dentist is fee-for-service and files out-of-network PPO benefits. Cherry, CareCredit, Sunbit, and HFD financing is available, and the Kleer membership plan takes 20 percent off treatment.
What happens if a cracked tooth doesn't get a crown?
A crack tends to spread. Left alone, a weakened tooth can split further, which often turns a straightforward crown into a root canal, or into an extraction and a replacement. Dr. Browne will tell you honestly when a tooth can safely wait, and he'll say so just as plainly when it can't. Patients driving in from Deerfield Beach appreciate that it also means fewer trips back and forth.
What are dental crowns made of these days?
Most crowns today are made of tooth-colored ceramic or zirconia rather than metal, which is why they blend in so completely. Dr. Browne chooses the material based on where the tooth sits and how much chewing force it takes, then matches the shade to the teeth around it so nothing stands out.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will my crown look natural?
Yes. We match its shape and color to your surrounding teeth, so it blends right in when you smile and eat.How long do crowns last?

You shouldn't feel the work itself. The tooth is numbed thoroughly first, and Dr. Browne checks in as he goes instead of pressing on. Music plays in the room, and if light oral sedation would help you settle, just ask before your appointment.Can I eat normally afterward?
Yes, once the numbness has worn off. With the permanent crown in place you can eat the way you always have. While a temporary is on, it's worth going easy on anything very sticky, and we'll tell you exactly what to avoid before you leave.
