586-739-0550When a tooth is weak, worn or damaged, it can affect comfort and confidence. A dental crown is designed to cover and protect a tooth, helping it function more predictably while also improving appearance. Many patients choose crowns when they want to restore strength for chewing, reduce sensitivity or improve the look of a tooth that has changed over time. At Eberhard Family and Cosmetic Dentistry, our dentist and team provide dental crowns in Utica, Michigan, with careful planning, a modern patient experience and clear communication throughout the process. Dr. David Eberhard will help you understand whether a crown is the right fit and what to expect at each step.
Crowns are customized for your smile. Fit and bite balance matter because a crown should feel comfortable, not bulky or “off.” We focus on natural details such as shape, shade and how the tooth fits with the rest of your bite.

We aim to make crown visits calm and easy to follow. Our team explains each step in plain language and checks in often for comfort. If you feel anxious about dental visits, we will move at a slower pace, offer breaks and help you feel in control. You can expect:
