Dental Crowns in Rochester, NY
When a tooth is too damaged for a filling but not lost entirely, a dental crown can restore both strength and beauty. At Westfall Dental Studio, we provide dental crowns in Rochester, NY made from high-quality ceramic and porcelain to protect teeth and create natural-looking smiles.
What Is a Dental Crown?
A crown is a custom “cap” placed over a tooth to restore its shape, size, and function. Crowns are one of the most common restorative treatments and are used to:
- Protect weak or fractured teeth
- Restore teeth after root canal therapy
- Replace large, failing fillings
- Support a dental bridge
- Cover a dental implant
- Improve the appearance of discolored or misshapen teeth
Our Crown Options
At Westfall Dental Studio, we offer two durable, aesthetic crown materials:
Ceramic Crowns
Ceramic crowns provide excellent durability and are designed to match the color of natural teeth. They are ideal for both front and back teeth, balancing strength with appearance.
Porcelain Crowns
Porcelain crowns deliver outstanding aesthetics, reflecting light like natural enamel. They are often recommended for highly visible front teeth where appearance is most important.
Both options are metal-free, biocompatible, and customized for a seamless fit.
The Dental Crown Process
- Evaluation & Preparation – The damaged tooth is shaped and prepared for a crown.
- Impressions – Digital or physical impressions are taken to create your custom crown.
- Temporary Crown – A temporary crown is placed while your permanent crown is crafted.
- Final Placement – The permanent crown is securely bonded, restoring full function and appearance.
Crowns as Part of Comprehensive Care
Crowns can be combined with other treatments for full restoration, including:
- Dental implants for missing teeth
- Inlays & onlays for less extensive damage
- Full mouth reconstruction for patients with multiple dental needs

FAQs About Crowns
We recommend their first visit by age 1, or within 6 months of the first tooth erupting.
How long do dental crowns last?
With proper care, crowns can last 10–15 years or longer.
Is the crown procedure painful?
No. The tooth is numbed during preparation, and most patients report little to no discomfort.
Which is better — ceramic or porcelain crowns?
Both provide excellent results. Ceramic offers greater strength, while porcelain provides maximum aesthetics.
Do crowns look natural?
Yes. Our ceramic and porcelain crowns are custom-shaded to match your surrounding teeth.
Can crowns be used for cosmetic purposes?
Absolutely. Crowns can improve the look of stained, misshapen, or worn teeth.
