DENTAL CROWNS
Repair Your Cracked, Broken, or Fractured Tooth
A dental crown, or “cap,” is generally required when a significant portion of a tooth has been destroyed by decay, trauma, or excessive wear. Additionally, dentists often use crowns for cosmetic purposes to improve the color, size, and shape of your tooth.
Our dental practice specifically designs crowns to protect your damaged tooth while restoring its function. Furthermore, we use crowns to top dental implants or to create a dental bridge. In fact, we have replaced unsightly, old-style porcelain/metal crowns with today’s all-porcelain crowns, which look nearly identical to natural teeth. Moreover, these modern dental crowns have the added advantage of being strong and very durable.
Our expert Ballard dentists utilize modern technology to create your custom-made crowns. They take precise impressions of your tooth and collaborate with our partner lab to craft breathtaking crowns. Consequently, this process ensures more accurate and long-lasting results, enabling you to resume your normal habits and smile with confidence.

Assess & Impress
First, our caring dentists assess your tooth and determine if you are a candidate for a dental crown. If you qualify, they take a few impressions of your teeth and review the crown procedure with you.
Intricate Design
During the design phase, our expert team applies the specifications of your crown’s size, shape, color, and fit. Afterward, they pass this information onto our dental lab, which produces the finished crown. At this stage, you may be asked to wear a temporary crown to protect your tooth.
Custom Creation
While at the lab, our team constructs your new crown using state-of-the-art technology to produce outstanding restorations. Once complete, the finished crown is returned to our practice, where your dentist carefully assesses the fit and style.
Perfect Placement
Finally, when satisfied with the crown, your dentist prepares the natural teeth and places the crown. If further adjustments are needed, they will make these before bonding the crown into place.
