 Dental Crowns at Dynamic Smile Design

When a tooth becomes weakened, damaged, or severely decayed, it can affect everything from your ability to chew comfortably to your confidence when you smile. Fortunately, there’s a strong, natural-looking solution: dental crowns. At Dynamic Smile Design, we offer high-quality dental crowns to restore strength, function, and aesthetics — all while preserving as much of your natural tooth as possible.

Our experienced team uses advanced techniques and materials to ensure your dental crown looks and feels just like a real tooth. Whether you need to protect a weakened tooth, restore a broken one, or enhance your smile, we’re here to help with care that’s tailored to your needs.

What Is a Dental Crown?

A dental crown is a custom-made cap that covers a tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. It is permanently cemented over the existing tooth structure and acts as a protective barrier against further damage. Crowns are commonly used when a tooth cannot be repaired with a filling alone, but still has enough healthy structure to support a full restoration.

At Dynamic Smile Design, we craft crowns using durable, tooth-colored materials like porcelain and ceramic. These materials blend beautifully with your natural teeth while offering the strength needed for everyday chewing and biting.

When Is a Dental Crown Needed?

Dental crowns are versatile restorations used in a wide range of situations. You may benefit from a dental crown if you have:

• A tooth with a large cavity that can’t be restored with a filling
• A cracked, chipped, or broken tooth
• A tooth that has undergone root canal therapy
• A worn-down tooth due to grinding or erosion
• A misshapen or severely discolored tooth
• A dental implant that needs a restoration
• A bridge that needs support from adjacent teeth

If you’re unsure whether a crown is the right option, our team will perform a thorough exam and recommend the best solution based on your oral health.

The Dental Crown Procedure

Getting a dental crown typically takes two visits. Here’s what you can expect:

1. Examination and Preparation: Your first visit begins with a complete examination and digital imaging. If a crown is the best course of treatment, your dentist will carefully shape the tooth to make room for the crown. Any decay or damaged material is removed, and the tooth is smoothed to ensure a secure fit.
2. Impressions and Temporary Crown: We take precise impressions of your prepared tooth, which are sent to a dental lab where your crown is custom-made. You’ll receive a temporary crown to wear in the meantime, which protects your tooth while your permanent crown is being fabricated.
3. Final Placement: Once your permanent crown is ready, you’ll return for your second visit. The temporary crown is removed, and the new crown is checked for fit, color, and comfort. After any needed adjustments, the crown is cemented into place — restoring full function and aesthetics to your smile.

Same-Day Crowns with CEREC Technology

In some cases, we offer same-day crowns using CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) technology. This advanced system allows us to design, create, and place a custom ceramic crown in just one appointment.

With CEREC, there’s no need for messy impressions, temporary crowns, or multiple visits. You’ll leave with a beautifully restored tooth the same day. Ask us if you’re a candidate for a same-day crown at your consultation.

Benefits of Dental Crowns

Dental crowns offer both restorative and cosmetic advantages:

• Protection: Crowns shield damaged or weakened teeth from further harm.
• Function: They restore full chewing and biting function.
• Durability: High-quality crowns are designed to last many years with proper care.
• Natural Look: Modern materials mimic the appearance of natural enamel.
• Versatility: Crowns can be used on natural teeth, implants, or in bridgework.
• Comfort: Once placed, crowns feel and function like a real tooth.

Caring for Your Dental Crowns

With good oral hygiene, dental crowns can last 10–15 years or longer. Here are a few tips to extend the life of your crown:

• Brush twice daily and floss once a day
• Avoid biting hard objects like ice or pens
• Wear a nightguard if you grind your teeth
• Visit your dentist regularly for checkups and professional cleanings

Although dental crowns are strong, maintaining healthy surrounding teeth and gums is essential for long-term success.
