Am I a Candidate for a Dental Crown?
Checklist For a Dental Crown: If You Answer "YES" to Any of the Following, You May Need to Call Our Office About a Dental Crown:
Do you feel like a portion of your tooth is chipped or missing after eating a meal?
Do you every experience a hot/cold sensitivity when you eat?
A dental crown, or cap, is a restoration that can be used for a number of purposes.
One of the most common uses of a dental crown is to restore a tooth that is significantly damaged or decayed.
The crown is custom made to fit over the entire tooth, starting at the gum line, in order to restore the tooth to its original shape and size.
We make our crowns from a life-like material that is tooth-colored and is typically referred to as “All-Porcelain”.

LEAVING TRADITIONAL “GOOPY” DENTAL IMPRESSIONS BEHIND
Traditional Dental Impressions use materials loaded in a tray to create a mould of your tooth that is sent to the lab for fabrication. Shipping and heat can lead to distortion of this impression and patients with a gag reflex or the sensation of a fully set impression being pulled out of their mouth have enjoy the benefits of our 3D Dental Scanner!
“ALL CERAMIC” OR “ALL PORCELAIN” OPTIONS FOR MODERN, METAL-FREE DENTAL CROWNS
Modern dentistry means we can now fabricate metal-free Dental Crowns that don’t show while you have a conversation with a friend or have a grey margin at the gum line on a front dental crown, giving the appearance of a dead or dying tooth. This is because we use the latest material which can be pressed thinner and are made from ever-increasing strength in our material selection for your custom-made Dental Crowns.
