A tooth that is broken, damaged, or in general poor condition can be harmful to your health. It can also affect feeling comfortable about your tooth and your self-confidence.

Dental crowns are almost exactly the way they sound – a crown, or cap, for your tooth. Dental crowns help restore a tooth– resulting in a truly aesthetically pleasing appearance.

Here are some of the reasons you need a dental crown:

Reasons for crowns:

  • Tooth that is broken or fractured.
  • Decayed teeth.
  • Cosmetic Benefits.

Same Day - CEREC crowns

Our office offers advanced dental technology that is utilized for the restoration of decayed, cracked, or chipped teeth. This technology can create full crowns, inlays, onlays, and veneers. The technology crafts a restoration in a matter of minutes. The fabricated restorations are made of compressed porcelain or newer materials that are hybrid with composite resin and porcelain. The most beneficial feature of receiving an in-office restoration is that it can be accomplished in one visit. In addition to the benefit of a one visit restoration, there is no uncomfortable impression material to bite on or temporary to wear.

Restore Your Smile Today

Crowns also replace severe cases of tooth decay that have resulted in a large amount of tooth loss. Crowns allow dentists to restore form and function to your tooth without needing to perform an extraction. It is always best to save as much real tooth/enamel as possible. 

The Dental Crown Placement Process

This process begins with a consult and exam where we develop a plan for you. We take dental impressions to ensure a precise fit for your tooth. We also treat and resolve any decay or infection prior to placement of the crown.

Once the impressions are ready for your tooth, we place the crown for a proper fit. Once your crown is fitted appropriately, you can again be confident about your dental health and your amazing smile.
