Dental Crowns in Jacksonville, FL
When a tooth is severely weakened, cracked, or decayed, a dental crown can restore its strength and appearance — while preventing the need for extraction. At EverySmile Dental Riverside, we craft high-quality, custom crowns that blend seamlessly with your natural smile and function like a healthy, strong tooth.
As your trusted dentist in Jacksonville FL, we’re proud to offer modern crown options with a gentle approach and attention to detail.
What Is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown is a tooth-shaped “cap” that covers and protects a damaged or compromised tooth. Crowns restore both form and function and are used when a filling alone isn’t enough.
We recommend crowns for:
- Cracked or fractured teeth
- Large cavities or worn-down teeth
- Teeth after root canal therapy
- Misshapen or severely discolored teeth
- Replacing old or failing restorations
- Restoring a dental implant
Our crowns are made from durable, aesthetic materials like porcelain, zirconia, or porcelain-fused-to-metal — selected based on your needs and preferences.
Types of Dental Crowns We Offer
Porcelain Crowns
Highly aesthetic and natural-looking, best for front teeth or patients focused on cosmetics.
Zirconia Crowns
Incredibly strong and stain-resistant, ideal for molars or patients who clench or grind.
Temporary Crowns
Used while your final crown is being made in the lab, typically worn for a couple of weeks.
We’ll walk you through your options during your visit and help you choose the best solution for long-term success.
What to Expect During Crown Treatment
- Initial Exam
Dr. Lucy Park will evaluate your tooth with a visual exam and digital X-rays to confirm that a crown is the best option. - Tooth Preparation
We gently shape the tooth to make room for the crown, then take digital impressions using an intraoral scanner — no messy trays needed. - Temporary Crown Placement
You’ll receive a temporary crown while your permanent one is custom-crafted at a trusted dental lab. - Final Placement
In about 2–3 weeks, you’ll return for final fitting, adjustments, and bonding of your permanent crown.
The entire process is comfortable and typically completed in just two visits.
How Long Do Dental Crowns Last?
With proper care, dental crowns can last 10 to 15 years or more. We’ll check the crown at every cleaning and exam to make sure it remains intact, secure, and functional.
Tips for crown longevity:
- Brush and floss daily
- Avoid chewing hard objects like ice
- Wear a nightguard if you clench or grind
- Maintain regular dental visits

Frequently Asked Questions
Does getting a crown hurt?
No. We use local anesthesia to ensure the procedure is completely comfortable. Sedation options are also available if you experience dental anxiety.
How much does a dental crown cost?
It depends on the material used and whether insurance is covering the procedure. We’ll provide a clear estimate before any treatment begins.
Will my crown look natural?
Yes. We match your crown to your surrounding teeth in color, shape, and contour. Most people won’t be able to tell which tooth is restored.
Is a crown better than a large filling?
A crown is often more durable when a tooth is heavily damaged or already filled. It provides full protection and strength.
Can a crown be placed after a root canal?
Yes — in fact, it’s highly recommended. A crown seals and protects the tooth after root canal therapy, which helps prevent fracture or reinfection.
