Dental Crowns

Crowns made of durable IPS e.max® porcelain and zirconia are used to repair teeth that have been damaged due to injury, abnormal wear, or disease. Our dental crowns are skillfully designed to provide both strength and the most realistic appearance possible. Thanks to our advanced technology, they can be designed, crafted, and placed in a single visit to our office.

Dental Bridges

Fixed dental bridges are made up of three or more of our beautifully crafted dental crowns that work together to fill a gap in your smile. The dental crowns placed on your abutment teeth are fused to one or more replacement teeth in the center to bridge the gap left by missing teeth, restoring your complete smile.

Implant-supported crowns and bridges are supported by dental implants instead of your natural teeth. These restorations replace the entire structure of missing teeth, from root to crown. Implant-supported dental crowns and bridges are often the best option for those wishing to preserve their jawbone structure, as areas of bone left empty are prone to deterioration over time.

Whether you receive a traditional or implant-supported crown or bridge, these natural-looking, long-lasting dental solutions can repair your smile, provide cosmetic benefits, and get you back to your normal life. Crowns and bridges keep your smile in great shape by:

  • Saving and repairing damaged teeth
  • Replacing missing teeth
  • Helping you chew your food

Hear From Dr. Travis Watson on Dental Crowns and Bridges

Dental crowns and bridges are considered the most time-tested restorative dentistry options at Atlanta West Dentistry. Dental crowns cover a tooth to protect it from bite forces and decay. A bridge is three to five crowns that are fused together to replace a single missing tooth or a few missing teeth in a row.

Very nice practice with nice, knowledgeable employees. Everything was thoroughly explained and all options provided, even if it did not include Atlanta West. Well worth the 2+ hour drive and would make the trip again if needed.

Get a Dental Crown or Bridge in One Day Thanks to CEREC Technology

Our dentists leverage the CEREC® system, which involves computer-assisted technology to design and create restorations. Here’s what patients and dentists alike love about this state-of-the-art dental resource:

  • Same-day procedure

    Rather than waiting weeks for a new crown or bridge, you can get your final restoration fabricated and placed in one dental appointment.

  • No temporary crown or bridge

    Since we can craft your dental crown in a single visit, we won’t have to put a temporary crown over your tooth.

  • Designed to last

    These same-day restorations don’t compromise on longevity; CEREC crowns are designed to last anywhere from 10 to 15 years.

Consultation

During your initial consultation at our dental office in Marietta, GA, you will meet with one of our skilled dentists. They will examine your mouth and discuss your goals to determine if a dental crown or dental bridge is the right treatment option for you.

Preparatory Treatment

If you need preparatory treatment such as a root canal or dental implant placement, this must happen first. For those undergoing a root canal, we can often place a permanent dental crown on the same day as treatment thanks to CEREC technology. Dental implants often require several months of healing before the restoration can be placed.

Anesthetic

Before your dental crown treatment begins, the area will be thoroughly numbed with a local anesthetic. Our dentists also offer sedation options for those who need an extra level of comfort care.

Tooth Prep

The tooth or teeth will be prepped and reshaped. This will allow the dental crown or bridge to fit properly on the tooth structure and blend with your natural teeth.

Impressions and Crafting

Your dentist will take impressions of the tooth using digital technology. Your crown or bridge is then milled right in our office in as little as an hour, so there is no need for a temporary crown. Our crowns are made of high-quality IPS e.max® and zirconia instead of tooth-colored resin. 

Restoration Placement

Once your dental crown or dental bridge is ready, your dentist will bond it in place and check for fit and comfort. All that is left to do is enjoy your new smile.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Crowns in Marietta, GA

Q. Does dental insurance cover dental crowns?

A. In most cases, dental insurance should cover some or all of your dental crown treatment. This will vary based on your plan or provider. We will verify coverage before treatment begins so you can plan for any out-of-pocket expenses.

Q. Are there alternatives to dental crowns?

A. Depending on the severity of your dental concerns and the location of the tooth, there may be treatment alternatives. If you have a cracked, chipped, or stained front tooth, a porcelain veneer may be an appropriate cosmetic treatment for you.

Q. Does dental crown placement hurt?

A. No. You will be thoroughly numbed before treatment begins. We also offer relaxing sedation dentistry should you need extra comfort measures.
