Why Crowns?
A dental crown (or cap) is a protective restoration covering the entire tooth surface and restoring it to its original size and shape. When a tooth cannot be restored with a filling, a crown is used to:
- protect and strengthen the tooth structure
- as a solution to decayed teeth, large fillings, and fillings that have fractured.
Your First Visit
A 3D digital scan will be taken at your first appointment and will be used to create your custom dental crown. During this first appointment, your dentist will also create a temporary crown for your tooth. You will wear the temporary crown for two to three weeks until a dental laboratory completes your new crown. Our dental team will numb your tooth and prepare the tooth by removing any decay and shaping the surface to properly fit the crown. Your temporary crown will then be put in place with temporary cement, and your bite will be checked to ensure you are biting properly.

There were courteous and efficient staff at all stations, who were sensitive to my comfort and concerns. Dr.Mark was professional and very pleasant, with a collaborative attitude, providing choices and options. In general, a great experience for someone who has always hated going to the dentist!
JD Howard is by far the best dentist in the seacoast area. Their staff is kind, considerate and thorough. They walk you through each step of the process. Making sure you are comfortable, informed and relaxed your entire visit. Doctor Dan, Ben and Tanya have given me a new outlook on dentistry and helped to improve my dental in ways that no other dentist has!
Love this place. The staff is always friendly and very timely and they do a great job. No shame if it has been awhile since your last appointment! They make you feel at ease and the equipment they use seems to be very up to date, so far less pain and quick visits. So glad my mother and husband recommended.
My husband and I both changed dentists at the same time to JD Howard and it is the best decision we ever made. From the front staff, to the hygienists, to the doctors, we continue to receive excellent service and attention. We highly recommend this dental office for any/all of your dental needs.
No matter what is going the staff is always so pleasant. I'm sure that it trickles down from the management folks there. Today was a new experience with Heather, my hygienist. She's very sweet, attentive and professional. I also had the pleasure to meet Dr. Dan for the first time. He fits right in with the great team. Keep up the great work.
From check in to check out, everyone is always pleasant, warm, and compassionate. My hygienists are fun and kind, and each of the doctors I've met have been wonderful. I've recently started seeing Dr. Lee, who is delightful. Today, she was sympathetic to the angst I had about my filling and created a comforting and comfortable experience. So grateful to have these guys.
They fit me in right away for pain I was having from broken teeth. They needed extracting and took care of it at that first visit! It was pain free and the kindness of the dentist and hygienist put me at ease the entire way. I will never put off an appointment again now that I see JD Howard Dental!
Dr. Tanya is the only dentist I have ever been able to continuously go to in my life. I have the worst anxiety when it comes to the dentist and most doctors even. I have been back repeatedly! Kind, caring, and gentle. They hear you, they see you, they understand you!
This office makes going to the dentist enjoyable! It sounds funny but everyone is so nice! I have been going to Nicole for my cleanings for a few years now and I wouldn’t change a thing! She is the best! I highly recommend this office!
I always say this is my favorite medical practice! My experience at JD Howard Dental has always been fantastic. I have been a patient of JD Howard Dental since 2011 and have never had a bad experience. The front desk staff, administrative staff, doctors, and of course Nicole, my favorite hygienist, are always kind and efficient. They have the ability to make you feel relaxed even at the dentist.
