Crowns

If you’re self-conscious about cracked, broken, decayed, or worn teeth, we can bring back your healthy, natural-looking smile with dental crowns, also called caps.  A crown can return structure, strength, and function to a tooth with extensive decay or damage.  Designed to fit snugly and function as a healthy tooth, a crown will protect your tooth from further damage and preserve the jaw’s correct natural alignment.

We use only all-porcelain crowns or all-ceramic crowns.  Some dentists may use porcelain fused to metal crowns, but with those there has to be an opaque layer put over the metal to block out its color.  This makes it impossible to have a translucent restoration that mimics the translucency of natural teeth.  Only with pure porcelain or pure ceramic can you have such natural translucency.

Dr. Deb and Dr. Rob love to maintain fully white smiles.  Our precise color-matching system allows us to find the right shade of porcelain to blend with your natural tooth color.  Porcelain crowns are also extremely durable and long lasting, and these benefits make them popular with dentists as well as patients.

Typically, we can design, fit, and place your crowns in just a couple of short appointments.  Once a crown is placed, you can care for it as you do your natural teeth.   Conscientious brushing twice a day and daily flossing will protect the base of your crown from bacterial growth.  Be sure to see us at least two times each year for professional cleanings and a preventive exam, too.
