Benefits of Dental Crowns

Dental crowns reinforce damaged teeth, protect weak structures, and restore natural beauty, helping you bite, chew, and smile with confidence again.

Crowns reinforce weakened teeth so you can eat comfortably without fear of further damage.

Improved Comfort

A properly restored tooth feels smooth and stable, helping you speak and smile with ease.

What makes a good candidate?

You may benefit from a dental crown if you:

  • Have a damaged, fractured, or severely worn tooth.

  • Have a large cavity that cannot be treated with a filling alone.

  • Need protection after a root canal.

  • Have missing structure due to old, failing restorations.

  • Want to improve the size, shape, or color of a single tooth.

  • Need anchor support for a dental bridge.

 

At Lakewood Dental and Orthodontics, we evaluate your tooth structure and long-term goals to recommend the strongest, most aesthetic restoration possible.

Step by Step Process

We provide a smooth, comfortable crown experience with exceptional accuracy and reliability.

Digital Planning & Exam

We start with high-definition digital X-rays to assess your tooth’s foundation. Our doctors walk you through your material options—like durable zirconia or lifelike porcelain—to ensure your restoration matches your goals for both strength and aesthetics.

Gentle Preparation

After ensuring the area is completely numb and comfortable, we gently reshape the tooth to create a secure base. We then use advanced 3D digital scanners to take a precise “virtual mold” of your smile—no messy, uncomfortable putty required.

Custom Fabrication

While our master lab custom-crafts your permanent crown, we fit you with a high-quality temporary. This protects your tooth and maintains your smile’s appearance while your final restoration is being perfected.

Final Fitting & Bonding

At your follow-up visit, we try in your custom crown to ensure the color, fit, and bite are flawless. Once you are 100% satisfied with the look and feel, we use a high-strength dental adhesive to bond the crown permanently into place.

Frequently Asked Questions

Still have a question?

How do clear aligners work?

They use a series of custom-made trays that apply gentle, controlled pressure. Each new set makes small, specific adjustments until your smile is perfectly aligned.

For most mild to moderate alignment issues, they are incredibly effective. During your consultation, we’ll determine if aligners can achieve the same precise results as traditional braces for your specific case.

For the best results, you should wear your trays for 20 to 22 hours a day, only removing them to eat, drink (anything other than water), and clean your teeth.

Most patients feel a sense of “pressure” for the first day or two of a new tray, which is a sign your teeth are moving! It is generally much more comfortable than wire adjustments.

While every case is different, many patients finish their treatment in 12 to 18 months—some even sooner! We’ll give you a personalized timeline during your first visit.
