What Can Crowns Do for Your Smile?
Strength and Function
A dental crown from Dr. Michael Feldstein can restore strength to a damaged tooth. By capping the tooth with a porcelain, zirconia, or IPS e.max® crown, you should be able to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
Natural-Looking Results
Both dental porcelain and IPS e.max materials mimic the qualities of natural teeth. Dr. Feldstein can carefully design and place your crown so it blends seamlessly into your smile.Versatile Uses
We can use a dental crown to treat a wide range of conditions, from concealing cosmetic flaws to replacing a lost tooth with a dental implant. Crowns are also used after a root canal or trauma to protect and support a damaged tooth.
Take a Look at How Crowns Work
Porcelain Crowns Are Incredibly Long-Lasting
What Is IPS e.max? An Alternative to Porcelain
/
Our Flushing, NY, dental office uses the most effective materials in dentistry to help your metal-free crowns last as long as possible. In addition to porcelain and zirconia, we're proud to offer IPS e.max® crowns. These lithium disilicate ceramic crowns cost more than traditional porcelain crowns, but they offer even greater strength and cosmetic benefits.
Crowns Can Address a Range of Issues
Weak Teeth
If a tooth has been compromised by severe decay, a large crack, or other trauma, a crown can protect the surface and provide support to help avoid tooth extraction.Broken or Worn Teeth
For a tooth that has already been broken or has been worn down due to grinding or clenching, a crown can restore its proper structure and appearance.
Teeth That Have Had Fillings or Root Canals
After undergoing root canal therapy or getting a large dental filling, a permanent crown can cover and support the weakened tooth to keep it healthy.
Cosmetic Imperfections
In some cases, Dr. Feldstein may recommend a crown instead of a porcelain veneer or other cosmetic treatment to conceal cosmetic flaws, such as tooth discoloration.
Missing Teeth
If you are missing a single tooth, a crown can be fixed to a dental implant to fill the gap in your smile. Crowns are also used to support traditional dental bridges.

Dr. Feldstein did a great job with a cap for my tooth. The process didn't hurt at all, and the cap feels perfectly normal now.
View on GoogleWhy Not Pull a Damaged or Decayed Tooth?
It may seem simpler to just pull a damaged or decayed tooth. However, even a single missing tooth can lead or your other teeth shifting, jawbone atrophy, and further tooth loss.
A dental crown allows your dentist to preserve the remaining healthy tooth structure and prevents the need for more extensive dental treatments like bone grafting or dental implants later on.

Restore Your Smile In Two Easy Appointments
Dr. Feldstein will examine your smile and determine whether a dental crown is the right treatment for you. He can also discuss the different materials we offer with you at that time.
We will remove the damaged or decayed portion of your tooth to restore proper health.
Dr. Feldstein will reshape your tooth to ensure the crown fits comfortably into your smile without appearing too large or bulky.
We will make an impression and send the information to the lab.
Since it typically takes about two weeks for the lab to fabricate a custom crown, Dr. Feldstein will place a temporary crown over your prepared tooth. To avoid dislodging the temporary crown, avoid eating sticky foods. You should also try to chew on the side of your mouth opposite the temporary crown.
At your second appointment, Dr. Feldstein will remove your temporary crown and check the fit and appearance of your permanent restoration. He can make minor adjustments to ensure you are satisfied with the result.
Dr. Feldstein will bond your crown into place for a fully restored smile.
Pair Your Dental Crown With Titanium Dental Implants
If you are missing a tooth, dental implants offer unparalleled support for your dental crown. Dental implants are titanium posts that act as artificial tooth roots. Implants not only provide amazing stability for custom restorations, but they also provide the jawbone with the stimulation it needs to remain healthy.
Dental implants are the only restorative dentistry treatment that can prevent jawbone deterioration that occurs after tooth loss. When paired with a natural-looking dental crown, you can enjoy restored oral function, an enhanced appearance, and avoid the need for bone grafting later.
Take A Look At How Dental Implants and Crowns Are Placed
During a surgical procedure at our Flushing practice, your dentist will place the dental implant directly into your jaw. The implants provide the stimulation the tooth roots once provided. Your custom crown is then attached to the implant to restore your oral function and appearance.
Preserving Your Permanent Crown
Your finished crown will be more durable and fixed than a temporary crown, though it can still become damaged or knocked loose.
There are several ways you can prevent unnecessary wear and prolong the lifespan of your dental crown, including:
- Avoiding especially hard or sticky foods
- Practicing good oral hygiene at home
- Not using abrasive toothpaste
- Flossing front to back (rather than up and down) to avoid loosening your crown
- Always attending your bi-annual dental exams
- Wearing a nightguard if you suffer from bruxism or temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder
- Not using your teeth as tools to open or cut items
During your exams, Dr. Feldstein will also check the fit of your crown and make any adjustments as necessary.

I’ve been going to this dental office for many, many years because Dr Teitel ( and Dr Feldstein too)is great. I’ve had lots of dental work done and I’ve always been happy with the outcome, have never had pain during any procedure and the personnel are warm, caring and have a lovely attitude always. Highly recommended!
View on GoogleDoes Getting a Dental Crown Hurt?
If you've been worried about feeling pain or discomfort during the dental crown process, there's nothing to fear. We'll use a local anesthetic to thoroughly numb your tooth before Dr. Feldstein gently shapes it and places your crown. You'll feel virtually nothing at all while under our care. In fact, treating your tooth with a crown will actually help eliminate the discomfort that comes along with dental damage or decay.
If you're still feeling anxious about getting a crown, our sedation services can put you at ease. Nitrous oxide, also known as laughing gas, induces deep relaxation while allowing you to remain conscious throughout your treatment.
Crowns Are a Common and Effective Dental Treatment
*According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
Promptly treating decay or damage is crucial to protecting your smile against more extensive and costly issues. A crown can save your tooth.
Outstanding and Compassionate Care
"I have been going to Jewel Dental for around eight years and am very pleased with the treatment I receive. I find the staff very friendly. Dr. Teitel always tells you what he is going to do before he does it. They accept partial payment from my union and wait to hear from them before expecting me to pay." Janet Rabin - 5 Star Review
Alternatives to Crowns
Depending on your needs, a number of different treatment options might be available to you. Dental fillings, inlays, and onlays are all more conservative solutions for repairing damaged teeth. Porcelain veneers are ideal for concealing purely cosmetic cracks and chips, although they are better suited to the front teeth than the back molars.
During a consultation at our Flushing, NY, office, our dentists can determine which procedure is the most appropriate for you.
