What Are Dental Crowns?
A dental crown is a custom-made, tooth-shaped cap that covers a damaged, decayed, or weakened tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and function. Our team at Suite 905 often recommends dental crown procedures to protect teeth that have suffered extensive decay or fractures, strengthen teeth after more intensive treatments, and restore worn-down or misshapen teeth. Made from porcelain, ceramic, or other materials, tooth crowns allow patients to preserve and protect damaged teeth while maintaining a natural appearance and proper bite alignment. Learn more about the benefits of dental crowns and take a step toward preserving your smile by scheduling a consultation with Dr. Svetlana Orit Faradjewa or Dr. Sheila Faradjewa at our practice in New York, NY.
How Does a Dental Crown Procedure Work?
The process of getting a dental crown usually takes two visits to our office. During your first visit, we'll examine your mouth and capture digital x-rays to assess your tooth's condition. If the tooth is badly damaged or has had a root canal, a build-up filling may be needed to create enough structure to support the crown. If the tooth is still intact but weakened, we'll trim away part of the enamel to make room so your crown fits comfortably. Once the tooth is ready, we'll take impressions and cap it with a temporary dental crown to protect it while your permanent restoration is prepared. When your custom tooth crown is ready, we'll schedule a follow-up appointment at our New York, NY office where we'll place the permanent crown and ensure it fits properly. Before you leave, we'll talk about how you can take care of your dental crown to prolong its life. With proper care, including brushing, flossing, and routine dental cleanings, a well-made crown can last for 10 – 15 years or even longer.

Suite 905 Reviews
My daughter came to Dr Faradjewa for the first time to have a small cavity filled. As expected my daughter was nervous and apprehensive once she sat in the chair. Dr Faradjewa was informative,patient and her chairside manner was warm and conforting all while explaining the entire process so professionally. She made the entire experience so easy. I would recommend her to everyone ans my daughter will see her if necessary in the future.
Absolutely amazing - Dr. Faradjewa has been my dentist for the past three years. She is attentive and takes the time to explain dental plans, preventative measures, and overall shows genuine care not only for me but also for her assistants. Her professionalism is remarkable, and it makes me wish all of my doctors were as wonderful as she is!
