At Scottsdale Dental Arts, our custom dental crowns are designed to restore strength, protect damaged teeth, and blend beautifully with your natural smile. Dr. McCargar uses premium materials and a highly personalized approach to ensure each crown fits comfortably, functions flawlessly, and looks just right.
What are Dental Crowns?
Dental crowns are custom-made restorations that fit over a damaged or weakened tooth like a protective cap. They restore the tooth’s original shape, size, and strength while improving its appearance. Dental crowns are commonly used for:
- Teeth with deep decay or large fillings
- Teeth that have fractured or are structurally weak
- Protecting a tooth after a root canal
- Restoring a dental implant
- Improving the appearance of discolored or misshapen teeth
Each crown is crafted in a dental lab using durable materials like porcelain, BruxZir, ceramic, or zirconia. Whether you need to rebuild a single tooth or are completing a larger restorative treatment plan, crowns offer a dependable, long-lasting solution.
Do I Need a Dental Crown?
If you’re experiencing discomfort while chewing, notice a cracked or worn-down tooth, or have been told you may need a root canal, a dental crown might be the best solution. Dental crowns not only reinforce the tooth’s structure, but they also help you chew and speak comfortably while protecting the tooth from future damage. Dr. McCargar will evaluate your needs carefully and walk you through your options to ensure you're getting the right treatment at the right time.
The Traditional Dental Crown Process
Getting your custom crown from Scottsdale Dental Arts traditionally involves a careful process. First, our experienced team will thoroughly examine and prepare your tooth to perfectly receive the restoration. Next, we'll take detailed impressions, which act as a precise guide for the dental laboratory where your crown will be expertly created.
Using advanced techniques and materials, our team will custom-craft your crown to ensure a flawless fit, correct bite, and a natural look that enhances your smile. While your permanent crown is being made (typically over a couple of weeks), we'll provide a temporary crown to protect your prepared tooth. Once your permanent crown arrives, you'll return to our Scottsdale dental office for a second appointment to have it bonded securely in place.
