What Are the Benefits of Dental Crowns?
If you are suffering from a damaged tooth that causes discomfort when going about your daily routine, Edward Narcisi, DMD, can help. Our advanced dental practice serves the needs of the greater Pittsburgh area from our office in Monroeville, PA. We can restore the form and function of your smile with a custom-crafted crown.
The benefits of receiving a new crown from our experienced dentist include:
If you have a severely decayed or damaged tooth, a dental crown can fortify the integrity of your smile and protect against further damage. Prompt treatment can save your natural teeth by removing decay and preventing the need for extraction.
Made of dental porcelain designed to withstand normal biting forces, a crown provides a durable shield to improve the strength of a weakened tooth. With proper care and regular checkups, a dental crown can last a decade or longer.
In order to ensure that your new crown blends in with your surrounding natural teeth, our dentist only uses fully porcelain restorations. Dr. Narcisi spends thorough time in the crown design stage to ensure patients can enjoy natural-looking results.

Dental Crowns and Bridges
Explained by Dr. Narcisi
The Center for Dental Excellence offers both dental crowns and dental bridges to patients who need dental restorations. A crown restores the structural integrity of a weakened tooth. A dental bridge replaces one or several missing teeth in a row.

Evaluating Your Candidacy For Dental Crowns
A traditional dental crown may be right for you if you have:
Remaining Tooth Structure
A traditional porcelain crown can only be placed on a tooth that has enough healthy structure remaining to support it. Teeth that are too damaged to support a crown may have to be extracted, but there are restorative options available, such as dental implants.
Good Dental Habits
While caring for a crown is not complex, proper care will help your crown last for many years. Patients should practice good oral hygiene by frequently flossing and brushing and visiting their dentist twice a year for cleanings.
Traditional Crowns vs. Implant-Supported Crowns
Traditional Crowns
Traditional crowns are placed over the remaining tooth structure to strengthen and protect the tooth. Our customized lab-made crowns are made of premium materials like porcelain to make strong and natural-looking restorations. While your crown is being crafted, Dr. Narcisi will fit you with a temporary crown at his Monroeville, PA, dentistry office to protect your tooth. Once your permanent crown is ready, Dr. Narcisi will switch out your temporary crown for your permanent restoration.
Implant-Supported Crowns
Implant-supported crowns replace the entire tooth structure and are ideal for patients who are missing a tooth or need a tooth extracted. A titanium post is surgically inserted into the jawbone to act as an artificial tooth root. The crown is then attached to the implant with an abutment. Implant-supported crowns provide numerous cosmetic and restorative benefits: they fill the gap in your smile with a lifelike restoration, stop nearby teeth from shifting, and help prevent jawbone atrophy.

"I highly recommend Dr. Narcisi and his staff." More Kind Words for Our Team

Dr. Narcisi is equally as friendly as he is professional. He is “patient with his patients” and I am grateful to be one! My husband and I came to his office on the advice of a friend and we are truly thankful we did. My husband was in need of some work that proved to be, in our opinion the best decision we could have made for him in following Dr. Narcisi’s advice, referrals and instruction. I personally had very minor issues that I waited to have done and just finished a thank you note for this Doctor! I admire his gift and talent; the fact that he clearly takes pride in his work and can “chew the fat” all at the same time. He’s amazing!

I have seen Dr. Narcisi for probably, over 40 years. I have always been treated with kindness, by Dr. Narcisi, his receptionist, JoAnne, and all of his dental higienists. But in addition to excellent care, I believe I have always received dental care that appears to consistently being the most advanced. Additionally, it has been wonderful that the office is located in an easily accessible location in Monroeville, and the large parking lot is free. The office itself is beautiful. I highly recommend Dr. Narcisi and his staff. I have received excellent care.

View on GoogleCaring for Your Dental Crowns
Whether you have just one crown or several, our dentists have put together a few simple tips to ensure you get the most out of your restorations for years to come:
Brush and Floss Daily
Dental care for crowns is as easy as caring for your natural teeth. Brush your teeth with a soft-bristled brush twice a day and floss at least once daily, paying special attention to the areas around your crowns. Doing so will prevent plaque buildup and keep your crowns looking their best.
Avoid Hard or Sticky Foods
Our all-ceramic dental crowns are built to last, but certain foods are capable of damaging them. Chewing on hard candy, ice, gum, and sticky desserts can cause your crown to chip, crack, or break.
Be Mindful of Your Habits
Try to avoid biting your nails, chewing on pens, or using your teeth as tools for opening packages. Doing so can damage both your dental crowns and your natural teeth.
