Forest Hills is a neighborhood where people think ahead. They take care of what’s theirs—homes, businesses, families, and their health. They know the difference between a quick fix and a long-term solution. That mindset is exactly why dental crowns in Forest Hills are such a valuable part of what we do at Soft Touch Dental.
Whether you're dealing with a cracked tooth, an old filling that's breaking down, or a tooth that’s lost its shape or strength over time, a crown offers full coverage and full confidence. These restorations protect the tooth underneath, prevent future damage, and restore your ability to chew, speak, and smile without second guessing.
Our crowns are designed to blend perfectly with your natural teeth, built for long-term wear, and customized to your bite, your smile, and your lifestyle.
A dental crown is a full-coverage restoration that caps the entire visible portion of a damaged or weakened tooth. It restores the tooth’s shape, size, function, and appearance while protecting the underlying structure from further stress or decay.
We use crowns for a range of situations, including:
At Soft Touch Dental, every crown is custom-crafted and placed with precision. The goal isn’t just to fix a problem—it’s to make the repair invisible and seamless.
We provide a range of materials depending on your goals, the location of the tooth, and your long-term expectations:
Ceramic and Porcelain Crowns
These offer the most natural look, ideal for front teeth and visible areas. They reflect light like real enamel and are color-matched to the rest of your smile.
Zirconia Crowns
Incredibly durable and strong, zirconia crowns are perfect for molars and back teeth that take heavy chewing pressure.
Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal Crowns
These provide a good balance of strength and appearance. They’re often used when extra support is needed but the tooth is still visible when you smile.
We’ll explain each option clearly, recommend the best fit for your needs, and help you feel confident in your choice.
Step One: Evaluation and Planning
We begin with a full exam and digital imaging. If a crown is the right option, we’ll explain why and walk you through your material choices and next steps.
Step Two: Tooth Preparation
The tooth is carefully shaped to make room for the crown. We then take impressions or digital scans to create a model for the final crown.
Step Three: Temporary Crown
A temporary crown is placed to protect your tooth while your permanent one is being crafted in the lab.
Step Four: Final Crown Placement
When the permanent crown is ready, we remove the temporary, bond the new crown into place, and check your bite to ensure everything feels and functions perfectly.
Because Strength and Appearance Both Matter
In a neighborhood like Forest Hills, people don’t want to compromise. They want work that lasts—and looks good doing it. Crowns offer both. You get a tooth that feels solid, works like it should, and looks completely natural when you speak, smile, or laugh.
Because They're Done With Repeat Fixes
Many of our patients come in after years of chasing the same tooth problem with fillings or patchwork repairs. A crown gives you a clean reset. It covers the entire tooth and stops the cycle of repeat breakdowns.
Because They Want a Long-Term Win
A properly placed, high-quality crown can last 10 to 15 years—or even longer with proper care. That’s the kind of value people in Forest Hills understand. Fix it once, and fix it right.
This isn’t a neighborhood where people are looking for flashy overhauls. It’s a place where detail matters—where good work blends in because it just looks and feels right. That’s how we approach every crown we place.
Our goal is for no one to notice you’ve had work done. The color, the shape, the texture—it all needs to reflect your existing teeth and enhance your overall smile without standing out. That’s what our patients here value: quiet, high-quality improvement that feels authentic.
Forest Hills patients have full calendars. Many commute, manage families, or run businesses. They need dental work that fits their lifestyle. A crown is one of the most efficient, long-lasting options available.
In two visits, you can go from a vulnerable tooth to a fully restored one. No extended treatment plans, no ongoing adjustments. Just a reliable fix that lets you move on and stay focused.
We’ve treated longtime residents who’ve watched the neighborhood change. We’ve worked with professionals moving here for the first time. And we’ve seen young adults investing in their smile because they know it impacts everything from self-image to career.
In each case, dental crowns have offered something tangible: the ability to bite into food without pain, speak without worry, and smile without hesitation. That’s not cosmetic fluff. That’s daily comfort—and it matters here.
Crowns are low-maintenance, but like any restoration, they require smart care:
With this kind of attention, most crowns last well over a decade.
There’s a reason dental crowns are so common in Forest Hills—they align with how this community thinks. People want smart, well-built solutions that don’t require constant attention. They want their investments to last. And they want results they can feel good about, both functionally and visually.
That’s what we deliver with every crown we place. Not just a tooth that works—but one that restores peace of mind.
We place crowns for:
If your tooth is painful, sensitive, or simply doesn’t feel right anymore, a crown may be the smart next step.
There’s a difference between a crown that just “gets the job done” and one that truly restores your tooth in the way it’s supposed to. At Soft Touch Dental, we focus on quality materials, expert placement, and a natural final look. We don’t cut corners. We don’t rush the process. We do it right the first time—because that’s what you deserve.
In Forest Hills, there’s pride in preservation. Whether it’s keeping a pre-war building in great shape or restoring something old instead of replacing it, people here understand that lasting quality comes from thoughtful maintenance. Dental crowns reflect that exact mindset.
Instead of pulling a tooth or patching it endlessly, a crown allows you to keep what’s still healthy and protect it from further damage. We see many Forest Hills patients who come in wanting to “save the tooth if possible.” A crown makes that possible—while also restoring how it looks and feels.
Forest Hills isn’t a place where people slow down. Between long commutes, full-time parenting, and tight schedules, there’s little room for ongoing dental problems. A crown gives our patients a break from the cycle—no more worrying about sensitive chewing, cracking teeth, or falling fillings.
Whether you’re grabbing a bite on Austin Street or heading into the city for a full day of work, a crown gives you the freedom to eat, speak, and smile without planning around discomfort. It’s a small thing with a big return—and in a neighborhood that runs on momentum, that matters.
Let me know if you'd like these inserted into the master page or want to build the next one.
Crowns are built to last. And in a place like Forest Hills, where people keep moving, growing, and showing up, that kind of reliability is key. Whether you’re heading into Manhattan for meetings, picking your kids up from school, or meeting friends on Austin Street, your crown should be the last thing on your mind.
We make sure that happens.
