A crown, also known as a cap, covers a tooth to restore it to its normal shape and size, thereby strengthening and improving its overall appearance.
A crown may be recommended to cover and support a tooth with a large filling. A crown can be used to attach a bridge, protect a weak tooth from breaking, or restore one that is already broken.
There are three main types of dental crowns. Each designed for different applications. Metal gold crowns are particularly suitable for posterior teeth exposed to heavy chewing forces.
Porcelain or ceramic crowns, offer excellent aesthetic results and closely match the appearance of natural teeth. They blend seamlessly in with your smile.
Finally, Porcelain fused to metal (PFM) crowns combine the strength of metal with the cosmetic appeal of porcelain. This type of crown is often recommended for load-bearing teeth that are visible when you smile.

First time visitor and had a very good experience. Dr. May is a very good doctor and was able to help me in a short amount of time.
I’ve been going to Dr. Barrett for almost 30 years, and he’s always made me feel at ease, to the point where I enjoy going to the dentist. Now Dr. Barrett is at the point in his career where he’s decided to bring in a new dentist to allow himself to take more time off. I was a little hesitant in the idea of having a new dentist work on my teeth, but as it turns out Dr Barrett hired an excellent choice in dentist to help with the patient load. Dr. May did an excellent job with my recent visit. He made the entire experience as comfortable as I could expect. I highly recommend both Dr. Barrett and Dr. May.
I was looking to find a new dentist and I stumbled across Park Ridge Dentistry on a recommendation from a friend. I’m so glad I came! Dr. May is amazing. He is very personable, took his time and was helpful in answering my questions. All around everyone at the practice is very friendly and I highly recommend!!
