Crowns are recommended when a tooth has lost significant structure due to decay, fracture, wear or previous restorations. The crown covers the entire visible portion of the tooth, reinforcing it and preventing further damage. Our dentists will begin the process with a thorough oral examination, digital imaging and bite analysis to determine the appropriate crown design for your case.

After the initial evaluation, the affected tooth is prepared by removing any damaged or weakened structure and shaping it to hold the crown securely. We take impressions or digital scans to fabricate a crown that fits precisely within your bite and aligns naturally with adjacent teeth. In some cases, a temporary crown is placed while the permanent one is being fabricated.

Each Mountain Home dental crown is custom-made to match the color, shape and size of your existing teeth, ensuring a natural appearance and long-lasting stability. Materials are selected based on clinical requirements and aesthetic goals, with options that include porcelain, ceramic and zirconia.
