Porcelain Crowns

Custom Dental Crowns for a Strong, Beautiful Smile

A tooth with deep decay or a fracture will need a dental crown to restore optimal strength and function. A filling simply won’t prevent further damage or allow you to maintain a comfortable bite. If you have a toothache or know that you need a crown, Dr. Valentine will examine your mouth to determine the exact problem. Once she understands your situation, she will recommend a crown that will restore structure and integrity to your damaged tooth. Front teeth are usually crowned with all-white, porcelain restorations that look natural. For teeth that endure a great deal of pressure, back teeth, the dentist often suggests porcelain-fused-to-metal or gold crowns.

One-Visit CEREC Crowns

With CEREC crowns, we can design, mill, and place your restoration in one appointment. This is possible because of 3-D imaging and computerized, onsite milling. While you relax and watch a movie or listen to music, we’ll fabricate your all-porcelain, custom crown in our office. Dr. Valentine will permanently bond the crown in place the same day, and you’ll leave the office with a solid, beautiful smile.

Lab-Crafted Crowns

Porcelain-fused-to-metal and all-metal crowns are crafted in our dental lab from durable, safe materials. You’ll probably visit us twice if you need a crown of this type. At the first appointment, Dr. Valentine will prepare your tooth, make an impression, and place a temporary crown. At your second visit, she’ll secure the lab-fabricated restoration in place.
