A crown, also known as a cap, covers a tooth to restore it to its normal shape and size, thereby strengthening and improving its overall appearance.
A crown may be recommended to cover and support a tooth with a large filling. A crown can be used to attach a bridge, protect a weak tooth from breaking, or restore one that is already broken.
There are three main types of dental crowns. Each designed for different applications. Metal gold crowns are particularly suitable for posterior teeth exposed to heavy chewing forces.
Porcelain or ceramic crowns, offer excellent aesthetic results and closely match the appearance of natural teeth. They blend seamlessly in with your smile.
Finally, Porcelain fused to metal (PFM) crowns combine the strength of metal with the cosmetic appeal of porcelain. This type of crown is often recommended for load-bearing teeth that are visible when you smile.

I just started seeing Dr. Acierno a few months ago (and need a lot of work done). I’ve been to a handful of dentists in the last decade and let me say that Dr. Acierno and his practice are INCREDIBLE! I was running late from work/traffic to an appointment, so I called ahead to give a heads up. They were so sweet about it. I got there about 10 minutes late and I was still seen almost immediately! Dr. Acierno has done a few fillings and a crown for me, all have been done amazingly and fast! I couldn’t believe I was only in the chair for about a half hour for a filling removal/crown with a temp the other day! I’d honestly give more stars if I could!
One of the best dentists I've been to. I had a crown done by another dentist that caused my gums to bleed and become irritated. I had complained about it for one year and just kept getting dismissed by the other dentist. On the high recommendation from my parents I went to Dr.Acierno and he was able to fix everything and I couldn't be happier!!

Dr. Acierno is an absolute guardian angel!! During this saddened time, my son broke his crown and was in horrible pain. The very next day, Dr. Acierno went into his office and repaired my son’s tooth. He is a hero, and now my son can go back to doing his job as a first responder.
