Crown Options We Offer
Porcelain Crowns (Caps)
Crafted to match the size, shape, and color of your natural teeth, these crowns deliver a beautiful, durable solution for broken, decayed, or structurally compromised teeth.
Zirconia Crowns
Zirconia crowns are ultra-strong, biocompatible ceramic restorations made from zirconium dioxide. These crowns combine outstanding durability with a natural appearance, making them ideal for both front and back teeth. Their metal-free design eliminates gray margins and is safe for patients with metal sensitivities. Zirconia also resists fracture and wear, making it a long-term solution for high-pressure bite zones.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of materials are crowns made from?
Common materials include porcelain, porcelain-fused-to-metal, and zirconia. Galdiano Dentistry focuses on porcelain and zirconia for optimal aesthetics and strength.
How long will my crown last?
With good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups, crowns can last 10–15 years or more.
Will getting a crown hurt?
After numbing the area, the procedure is generally comfortable. Mild sensitivity may occur but typically fades quickly.
