Dr. McKnight and his team in Westminster, CO, offer a range of dental restoration materials designed to provide lasting results. We fabricate crowns with durability in mind, ensuring you and your family members get the high-quality care you deserve. We even offer free custom-shading to ensure your crown blends seamlessly with the rest of your smile!

What Is a Dental Crown?

A dental crown, sometimes called a tooth cap, is a custom-made restoration that fits over the visible portion of a damaged or weakened tooth. A crown can reinforce the remaining tooth structure while restoring its shape, function, and appearance.

Dr. McKnight may recommend a dental crown for:

  • A tooth with a large cavity or extensive decay
  • A cracked, fractured, or weakened tooth
  • A significantly worn tooth
  • A tooth following root canal therapy
  • Supporting a dental bridge
  • Replacing a damaged or failing restoration
  • Improving the appearance of a misshapen or discolored tooth

Whenever possible, our goal is to preserve your natural tooth and restore it rather than remove it. 

Dental Crown Materials 

Different teeth and situations call for different restorative materials. At Westminster Dental Care, we offer several options and will help you determine which crown material is best for your tooth, bite, and smile goals: 

  • All Porcelain
  • All Ceramic
  • Stainless Steel
  • Zirconia
  • BruxZir®

Custom-Shaded for Your Smile

A dental crown shouldn’t look like an obvious dental restoration. For visible teeth, we can provide custom shading to help your new crown blend with the surrounding teeth. Our access to dental laboratories within our building also allows us to coordinate closely on custom restorations and more complex cases. At Westminster Dental Care, the goal is to provide a long-lasting restoration that feels comfortable and looks like it belongs with your natural smile.

Dental Crowns and Root Canal Therapy

A crown is often recommended after root canal therapy to protect a tooth that has been weakened by decay or infection. At Westminster Dental Care, we provide root canal treatment and restorative care in-house, helping streamline the process when a tooth needs both endodontic and restorative treatment.

We’re also proud to provide molar root canal therapy for Medicaid patients, helping patients access tooth-saving treatment that can be difficult to find elsewhere.

How Much Do Dental Crowns Cost?

The cost of a dental crown depends on the material selected, the condition of the tooth, whether additional treatment is necessary, and your dental insurance coverage.

If you’re concerned about the cost of treatment, our team can help you understand your options. Westminster Dental Care accepts many dental insurance plans and Medicaid and offers several ways to make care more manageable, including our in-house dental savings plan, CareCredit, and a 10% cash discount.

FAQs

With proper care and routine dental visits, many dental crowns last 10 to 15 years or longer. Good oral hygiene and avoiding habits such as chewing ice or using teeth as tools can help maximize their lifespan.

Absolutely. In addition to restoring damaged teeth, crowns can improve the appearance of teeth that are misshapen, severely discolored, or uneven, helping create a more balanced smile.

If your crown feels loose, cracks, or falls off, contact our office as soon as possible. Prompt evaluation can help prevent damage to the underlying tooth and allow us to determine whether the crown can be repaired or replaced.
