Dental Crowns in Jefferson City, MO

Crowns are used:

• To attach a bridge
• When a filling is too large for the tooth to support
• To protect a cracked or broken tooth
• To cover a tooth with a root canal
• For cosmetic enhancement

Porcelain crowns. Today’s technology creates crowns made of porcelain that are natural looking in shape and color, leave no black edge at the gum line and can last 20-30 years.

Metal crowns. Crowns made of gold, silver or porcelain over metal, the standard for crowns for many years, are still occasionally used.

High Street Dentistry strives to make crowns that look and feel like the real thing – a “natural” and bright smile.

Ceramic Crowns

Looking for the most dazzling crown possible? New all-ceramic dental crowns have all of the strength and durability as a standard crown, but look and feel virtually indistinguishable from real teeth, making them ideal for repairing front teeth. Ceramic crowns are custom made for each patient with zirconia, the same substance used to make synthetic diamonds, and porcelain. The end result is a startlingly white and beautiful smile that is both durable and capable of brightening up someone’s day!

One-day Crowns

Yes – it can be done! In just one appointment, you’ll be measured for your crown, the crown will be made while you wait, and you’ll walk out with your perfectly fitted, custom-colored crown permanently bonded to your tooth.

The latest CAD/CAM technology makes this possible:

• First, a camera captures a digital image of the tooth.
• Then, a computer creates a 3-D model from which a porcelain block is crafted to create the crown, custom-colored and shaded to match your existing teeth.
• Most one-day crown appointments take under two hours.

No more gooey, sticky molds, temporary crowns coming off and leaving raw nerves exposed, and having to make two appointments just for one tooth.
