EMERGENCY SAME DAY CROWNS!! We are very excited to be able to offer same day crowns using CEREC technology.

Crowns

Crown Procedure

A crown is sometimes termed a “cap” or “jacket.” A crown will restore a tooth with a large filling or a cracked tooth to its original size, shape, and tooth color. A crown may be recommended after root canal therapy has been completed, as the tooth tends to become brittle and is more likely to fracture. A crown can strengthen and protect the remaining tooth structure and improves the appearance of your teeth. With the advances in technology, we now have the ability to make ceramic crowns with no metal.

Crown Aesthetics

If your smile is in need of a makeover, crowns can provide predictable results. Crowns can give an unattractive tooth back its beautiful shape and color. For smaller or worn down teeth, a crown can restore the natural size of the old tooth. A crown can replace either part of or the tooth’s entire structure. For procedures requiring only the areas visible from the outside, a veneer may be an alternative option.

Types of Crowns

With today’s advances in dentistry, there are several options when choosing a type of crown:

  • Porcelain outer surface with a metal base crown
  • Pure porcelain or composite crown
  • All metal crown, which is usually gold

They all differ in durability, strength, appearance, and cost.

Full Porcelain Crowns

These are very aesthetic, bonded crowns. They are the most natural looking type of crown.

There are many types, but they all have a common feature: no metal. They can occasionally break, but dental technology has advanced far enough to make them quite strong.

Porcelain Fused To Metal Crown (PFM)

The most common type of crown and has a proven track record. PFM crowns are fairly aesthetic and they look like real teeth. However, the margins or borders may appear dark because PFM crowns have a metal substructure with layers of porcelain fired over the substructure.

Gold Crown

The ‘gold’ standard. Dental gold is about 60% gold alloy which is meant to match the hardness of the enamel of opposing teeth so both wear about evenly, an important trait. Gold does not tarnish or corrode and has some bacterial-inhibiting quality. Gold crowns are strong and will not break. However, gold crowns obviously are not considered aesthetic; they are gold colored.

Outstanding oral care. Came for a visit from out of town and my tooth started hurting. They came highly recomended by other dentist offices in the area because they have flexible and cheaper service for cash paying patients…Not only were they able to get me in the same day but, they were able to pull the tooth but, provided services at a much cheaper cost then everyone else I called. Outstanding staff all the way around. From the front desk staff, oral hygienist, and the Doctors, I received outstanding care.
