Restore Strength & Beauty With Custom Dental Crowns

Durable, natural‑looking crowns that protect and last for years.

A dental crown is a tooth‑shaped "cap" that fits snugly over a damaged tooth, restoring its strength, function, and natural appearance. At the practice of Dr. Michael A. Hunt, DDS, we take a patient‑first approach to every crown procedure — making sure you're comfortable, informed, and confident in your care from the very first visit. With proper care, your crown can last 10–20 years or more.

Could You Benefit From a Crown?

Many patients don’t realize a crown could save their tooth until it’s too late. Here are some of the most common reasons Dr. Hunt recommends a crown: 

  • A tooth cracked or fractured from injury or biting pressure
  •  A cavity too large to be repaired with a filling alone
  •  A tooth that has undergone a root canal and needs protection
  •  A broken or severely worn-down tooth
  •  A tooth with an old, failing filling that needs full coverage
  •  A tooth that is discolored, misshapen, or cosmetically compromised

If you’re experiencing tooth pain, sensitivity, or visible damage, don’t wait — the sooner a damaged tooth is protected, the better the outcome.

What to Expect: The Crown Process at Our Stroudsburg Office

We make getting a crown as smooth and stress-free as possible. Here's a simple overview of what to expect:

Step 1 — Consultation & Exam

Dr. Hunt will evaluate your tooth, review X-rays, and discuss your options. Together, you'll determine whether a crown is the right solution for your long-term oral health.

Step 2 — Tooth Preparation & Impressions

The tooth is gently shaped to create the ideal foundation for your crown. We then take precise impressions to ensure your permanent crown fits your exact bite and smile.

Step 3 — Temporary Crown

A temporary crown is placed to protect your tooth while your permanent crown is carefully crafted at the dental lab. Most patients wear their temporary crown comfortably for one to two weeks.

Step 4 — Final Crown Placement

Once your permanent crown is ready, Dr. Hunt checks the fit, color, and bite before cementing it into place. You'll leave with a restored tooth that looks and feels completely natural.
