Confidence You Can See. Comfort You Can Feel.

With proper care, porcelain crowns last 15–25 years and bridges last 10–20 years. Regular cleanings, avoiding very hard foods, and wearing a nightguard if you grind your teeth all extend crown lifespan significantly.

No. The tooth is fully numbed with local anesthesia during preparation. You may feel some sensitivity for a few days after placement, which resolves quickly. Most patients are comfortable returning to work the same day.

Yes. Our in-house CAD/CAM lab at Franklin Square allows us to design, mill, and place your crown right here on site. Your crown is crafted in our digital lab — not shipped to an outside facility. That means faster results and a more precise fit because your dentist works directly with our lab technician.

Both are excellent options. Implants are generally the gold standard because they preserve bone and don’t require altering adjacent teeth. However, bridges are faster, less invasive, and often less expensive. We’ll discuss both options at your consultation and help you decide based on your specific situation.

We use CAD/CAM (computer-aided design and manufacturing) with an in-house milling center at our Franklin Square location. A digital scanner captures a precise 3D model of your tooth, our software designs the crown, and the milling machine carves it from a solid zirconia or porcelain block. Your crown is crafted right here — not at an outside lab.

A filling works when enough healthy tooth structure remains to support it. When decay or damage is too extensive, a crown provides full coverage and structural protection. We’ll always recommend the least invasive option that gives you a lasting result.

Yes. We offer CareCredit, Cherry, Sunbit, Alphaeon, Happen Bank, and HFD — including 0% interest options up to 36 months subject to approval. HSA and FSA cards are also accepted. We coordinate benefits to maximize your insurance coverage and walk you through every payment option before any treatment begins.

Our in-house lab means your dentist works directly with the technician crafting your restoration. The result is a dramatically faster turnaround, more precise color matching, and the ability to make real-time adjustments — without the back-and-forth of an outside lab. No shipping. No waiting weeks. Your crown is made right here.

Island Dental recommends zirconia porcelain crowns and bridges for most patients. Zirconia is metal-free, extremely strong, and produces the most natural-looking result. It’s our preferred material for both front and back teeth. Our in-house lab mills zirconia crowns on site — no outside lab, no long wait. Your prosthodontist and dentist oversee every case for a perfect fit and beautiful result.

In many cases, yes. With our endodontist and in-house CAD/CAM lab both on-site, we can coordinate your root canal and crown placement to minimize the number of visits. Ask about your options at your free consultation at Island Dental in Franklin Square or Levittown.

Not at all. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia — you’ll feel no discomfort. Some patients experience mild sensitivity for a few days after placement, which resolves quickly. Most patients return to work or normal activity the same day. Nitrous oxide and sedation are also available if you have anxiety.

Yes — walk-ins are always welcome at Island Dental. If your crown chips, cracks, or falls off, call or text us and we’ll get you in as quickly as possible. Our in-house lab means we can often repair or replace your crown faster than any outside lab. Second opinions are also welcome at no charge.

Zirconia crowns are milled from a solid block of zirconia — they are incredibly strong, durable, and resistant to chipping. Porcelain crowns offer the most lifelike translucency and are ideal for highly visible front teeth. Both are metal-free and biocompatible. Our prosthodontist will recommend the best material for your specific situation at your free consultation.

We also offer 0% financing through CareCredit, Cherry, Sunbit, Alphaeon, Happen Bank, and HFD. HSA and FSA accepted. Free consultation · 0% financing · Insurance accepted.

Because we have an on-site digital lab, your crown is designed and crafted right here — not shipped to an outside facility. That means a dramatically faster turnaround than practices that outsource their lab work. Your dentist and lab technician work together to ensure a perfect fit and natural appearance.

Zirconia is a premium, metal-free ceramic material that is incredibly strong and produces the most natural-looking result. Island Dental recommends zirconia crowns for most patients because they resist chipping, match your natural tooth color beautifully, and are biocompatible — gentle on your gum tissue. Our in-house lab mills zirconia crowns on site for a precise, custom fit.

A crown covers and protects a single damaged tooth. A bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring a false tooth (called a pontic) to the adjacent natural teeth or implants. Both are fixed, non-removable restorations. Our prosthodontist will evaluate your situation and recommend the best option at your free consultation.

Yes. Once your permanent crown is placed and fully bonded, you can eat, chew, and bite normally. Zirconia and porcelain crowns are designed to handle the full force of everyday chewing. We recommend avoiding extremely hard foods like ice or hard candy, which can damage both natural teeth and crowns.

Yes. We offer pediatric crowns for children who need them due to extensive decay or damage to primary (baby) teeth. Our dentist and team make the experience comfortable and stress-free for kids. We also welcome teens and young adults for permanent crowns when needed.
