What we offer

Secure and Durable Crowns

Get professional dental crowns that feel secure in your mouth. It’s fairly common for people to experience stains, unevenness, weakening, or decay of their crowns. When this happens, artificial crowns can be used to restore or strengthen them, returning your smile to something you can be proud of. Our dentists with over 30 years of experience prioritize strength and durability when fitting you for your crowns that will last.

What Are Crowns?

Your teeth are composed of two main parts: the crown and root. The crown is the part visible above the gum line. The root is the part below the gum line, holding your tooth firmly in your jawbone. Dental crowns act like a permanent cap for your tooth, covering it entirely to restore teeth security and strength.

Are Crowns Right for You?

Crowns may be right for you if you have cosmetic issues like stains and decay, or if you need to repair chipped or broken teeth and protect weak ones from breaking. If you need a bridge, a crown can be used to attach it. With proper care and regular visits to our office, your crown can last about 10 years.

What’s the Purpose of a Dental Crown?

A dental crown has many purposes, but a few common ones are:

  • Keep a tooth from breaking apart
  • Hold together pieces of an already broken tooth
  • Join a large filling on a tooth with little support left
  • Hold a dental bridge in place
  • Cover a dental implant

Crown Options

Types of Crowns We Offer

There are five main types of crowns: Ceramic, gold alloy, porcelain fused-to-metal crowns, base metal alloy crowns, and CEREC crowns. A dentist can make recommendations based on your unique needs and preferences.

Ceramic Crowns

Ceramic crowns are best for blending with the other teeth, generally making them the most aesthetically pleasing. They are also great for patients who have metal allergies and cannot tolerate metal-based crowns.

Gold Alloy Crowns

Gold alloys are strong crown options. However, the gold alloy does not look as natural as a ceramic crown would for patients who are more concerned with aesthetics.

Porcelain Fused-To-Metal Crowns

Porcelain-fused-to-metal tends to blend better with the teeth than gold, but many people prefer the way gold alloys look in comparison. Porcelain crowns are commonly used for teeth in the front.

Base Metal Alloy Crowns

Base metal alloys are strong, resistant to corrosion, and require less of the tooth to be ground down in preparation. However, metals may wear away the enamel on healthy teeth opposite the crowns.

CEREC Crowns

Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics, otherwise known as CEREC, are crowns you can get as a same-day procedure. This is our preferred material for crowns as it is a strong ceramic that provides our patients with quicker results. CEREC crowns are made with top-of-the-line computer-assisted technology for a realistic look and durable solution.

How Crowns Are Placed

Getting crowns can take more than one visit. Here are the steps involved in finding the right crowns for you.

Step 1:

Dental Examination

Crowns are generally placed over two dental visits. During the first visit, the dentist will examine the tooth to make sure it will hold a crown.

Step 2:

Prepare the Tooth

Then, it’s time to prepare the tooth, which may consist of filing it down or filling it.

Step 3:

Impressions

Once the tooth is the proper shape and size, impressions are taken of it and the surrounding teeth so that the crown can be made to fit like a glove.

Step 4:

Temporary Crown Installment

Next, the impressions are sent to the lab to create the crown, and a temporary crown holds its place until the final product is ready. This typically takes anywhere from a few days to a week.

Step 5:

Permanent Crown Set in Place

During the second visit, the temporary crown is removed and the permanent crown is fixed to the tooth with adhesive. After this step, crowns usually won’t require any more dentistry to function like natural teeth.

Routine Dental Visits

Crowns can last a lifetime if you properly care for them with a routine of brushing, flossing, and dental visits.
