Crowns A crown is a good way to cover teeth that are discolored or badly shaped. A crown can make your tooth stronger and improve its appearance. Crowns can also be used to attach bridges, protect a weak tooth from breaking or restore one that’s already broken.

We recommend placing dental implants to take care of the problems of missing teeth. Perhaps you are wondering what kind of problems occur from missing teeth. You may wonder if there is nothing there, how can there be a problem?
You need a full set of teeth for chewing to obtain the most nutrients from the food you eat. When chewing becomes difficult due to fewer teeth, often less nutritious, softer, high-calorie foods are consumed on a daily basis. These types of food often add unwanted pounds to your weight.
Eventually, without the support of all your teeth, your face will take on a hollowed out appearance in your cheeks. This adds years to your facial appearance. Speech can be altered, as certain words are not pronounced clearly when there are gaps in your dental arches.
Dental implants look very natural as they come up through the gumline. It's like you grew permanent teeth again! They give you full functionality for chewing and speaking, and they look like your own teeth – not even a dentist can tell they are not your own. No matter if your missing teeth are in the front or back of your mouth, we can place dental implants in as many areas as need replacement.
We handle the entire process from implant to crown placement, so you will not be inconvenienced to go to another office. Call us today, and we will give you a no-obligation consultation.

You may have had a need for a crown in the past and went through
all the steps to have the procedure completed. First there is
the preparation of the tooth, then an impression, and while your
permanent crown is being made, a temporary restoration is placed
in your mouth. After a two-week waiting period, you go to the
dentist again for the installation of the permanent crown.
Sometimes it does not fit properly and is sent back to the lab,
which results in more waiting time for you. And then there is
one more visit to the dentist.
You
will be very pleased to know that technology has changed what
was formerly a time-consuming procedure. With CEREC™ technology,
you can receive a crown from start to finish in just one visit.
CEREC is a milling device that provides a computerized design to
give you the perfect-fitting crown. It does so in just a matter
of one appointment! No return visits or waiting! Our patients’
reactions – they love it!
The entire procedure with CEREC takes about an hour. There are
no more impressions to take or temporaries to create. It
provides what patients want and need – a durable and natural
looking restoration that is accomplished in just one visit.
Using
the CEREC technology, we apply a reflective powder on the tooth.
With a high-tech camera, a picture is taken and immediately
ready for viewing on a computer screen. We initially design the
crown and CEREC creates it. The crown is then bonded to the
remaining tooth structure. What could be faster and easier?
