At Pristine Smiles, dental crowns are one of our most effective solutions for restoring and protecting damaged teeth. Whether your tooth is cracked, severely decayed, or has had a root canal, a crown can help restore its strength, function, and appearance.
Why You Might Need a Crown
- Cracked, worn-down, or broken teeth
- Severe tooth decay
- Following root canal therapy
- Cosmetic improvement for misshapen or discolored teeth
- To support a large filling when there’s not enough natural tooth left
Types of Crown Materials
We offer crowns made from high-quality materials, including:
- Porcelain - For a natural, tooth-colored appearance
- Zirconia - Extremely strong and tooth-colored
- Gold alloy - Durable and biocompatible, ideal for back teeth
- Porcelain-fused-to-metal - Combines strength with aesthetic appeal
Porcelain and zirconia crowns are matched to your natural tooth color for a seamless finish.
CEREC Same-Day Crowns - Crowns in Just One Visit
We’re proud to offer CEREC same-day crowns, a revolutionary digital solution that allows you to receive your custom crown in a single appointment.
What Is CEREC?
CEREC ( Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics ) uses 3D scanning and CAD/CAM technology to design and produce your crown while you wait.
How It Works:
- Digital Scan: A comfortable, accurate 3D scan replaces messy impressions

- Same-Day Placement: We bond your crown in place, usually within an hour
Benefits of CEREC Crowns:
- No temporary crown needed
- No messy impressions
- Fewer appointments
- Quick, precise, and durable results
- Natural-looking, tooth-colored finish
Traditional Crowns - Two-Visit Process
For patients who prefer or require a traditional crown, we offer high-quality lab-fabricated options involving two appointments.
First Appointment:
- Tooth reshaped and prepared for crown
- Impression or 3D scan taken and sent to a dental lab
- Temporary crown placed for protection
Second Appointment:
- Permanent crown bonded securely in place
- Fit, comfort, and appearance are checked before final placement
Caring for Your Dental Crowns at Home
With the right care, your crown can last for many years. Here’s how to look after it:
- Brush twice a day using fluoride toothpaste
- Clean between teeth daily with floss or interdental brushes
- Be gentle but thorough around the gumline
- Avoid biting hard objects like ice, pens, or hard candies
- Attend regular check-ups and professional cleanings
