Doctor Li and Heather are THE BEST! I have been going to the Brookline GD for a while now and have recently acquired some general anxiety and they took such care with me on my recent cavity and crown work and I felt wholly cared for. All the work I have had done in the last 20 years has been quality work with no issues. I cannot recommend the Brookline Gentle Dental enough.

I had an appointment for a temporary crown with Dr. Lee. Dr. Lee and her assistant were both professional, very friendly, and personable. I've been going to Gentle Dental at the Brookline (roughly an hour from home) for over 15 years and would certainly recommend this location to friends or family.
Our latest CEREC technology lets us complete your dental crown procedure in just one visit. This process saves time and improves the fit and appearance of your crown, ensuring it looks natural and integrates flawlessly with your teeth.
Restore and Enhance Your Smile with a Dental Crown
Our dental crowns do more than just function; they also improve your smile aesthetically. Whether it’s concealing discolorations, fractures, or reshaping a tooth, each crown is crafted to enhance your appearance.
Missing teeth can be replaced by an implant-retained dental crown. Dental implants are designed to support several types of dental restorations, depending on how many teeth need to be rebuilt.
If you are not a good candidate for other cosmetic dentistry treatments, crowns can improve a versatile range of imperfections. Your prosthodontist will match the high-quality ceramic to your existing tooth enamel so that the finished product is virtually indistinguishable.
Dental crowns can provide the coverage a struggling tooth needs. When cracks and other breakages cannot be repaired with bonding or fillings, a crown caps the entire surface, offering much-needed support.
Dental crowns are often needed after root canals because they help to protect the treated structure from the risk of future infection.
We start by addressing your affected tooth (or teeth) with necessary procedures such as a root canal to eliminate decay and bacterial infection. We then gently prepare the tooth by removing a thin layer of surface enamel, creating room for the new restoration.
Your prosthodontist will take a detailed impression of your mouth. This impression allows our skilled ceramist to design a custom dental crown that fits seamlessly and comfortably between your existing teeth.
While your permanent crown is being crafted, your prosthodontist will place a temporary crown to protect the tooth and maintain functionality.
Our state-of-the-art dental lab creates your permanent crown, using high-quality materials like porcelain, chosen for its strength and natural appearance. With our on-site lab, we ensure a faster turnaround time and more convenient treatment.
Once your permanent crown is ready, you’ll return to our office for placement. Your prosthodontist will check the fit and bond the crown securely with dental cement, ensuring it functions perfectly and lasts for years.
Experience the convenience of receiving a fully restored smile in just one appointment. Our one-day crowns reduce the need for multiple visits, fitting perfectly into your busy schedule and reducing dental anxiety.
Dental crowns typically last 10 to 15 years or longer with proper care. They are a long-term solution to protect and enhance your dental health, but they may eventually need to be replaced.

In Massachusetts, the cost of a dental crown varies widely, ranging from $800 to $3,000. Factors that influence the price include the type of material used (such as porcelain, ceramic, or gold), the complexity of the procedure, and the dentist's fees.
The national average cost for a full dental crown is typically between $1,000 and $1,500. However, prices can vary based on the crown material and the specific dental practice.
Dental implants generally cost more than crowns. This is because implants involve a surgical procedure to replace the entire tooth structure from root to crown, requiring more time and resources.
There are several types of dental crowns, including ceramic, porcelain fused to metal, all-porcelain, gold alloys, and all-resin. Each type has its own advantages in terms of aesthetics, durability, and cost.
Porcelain crowns are often covered by dental insurance, especially when they are necessary for medical reasons, such as restoring a broken or severely decayed tooth. However, coverage can vary, so it’s important to check with your insurance provider.
A dental crown works by encasing the damaged or decayed tooth with a custom-designed cap. This restores the tooth's shape, size, strength, and appearance, helping to protect it from further damage while improving function and aesthetics.
While often used interchangeably, "cap" usually refers to a smaller version of a crown, used when only part of the tooth needs coverage. Crowns cover the entire visible part of the tooth, providing substantial protection and restoration.
Dental crowns are not permanent in the sense that they may need to be replaced after many years of use, depending on wear and tear, oral habits, and the material used. However, they are designed to be long-lasting and offer durable protection for damaged or weakened teeth.
On average, dental crowns can last between 10 to 15 years, though some may last even longer with proper care. The lifespan of your crown depends on factors such as the material used, your oral hygiene practices, and any habits like teeth grinding.
Dental crowns themselves do not develop cavities, but the tooth underneath the crown can still decay if not properly cared for. It’s important to maintain good oral hygiene, including brushing and flossing regularly, to prevent decay around the crown’s edges and ensure the underlying tooth stays healthy.
