DENTAL CROWNS IN LOUISVILLE

Crown Dentist in Louisville

Crowns are tooth-shaped caps that are put in place to protect and restore teeth when large amounts of tooth structure are missing due to cavities or fractures. Crowns can be made of porcelain fused to metal, or even gold, depending on whether you want a natural or stylized look.

The process of installing a crown takes just two visits to the dentist. On the first visit the tooth will be prepared so that the crown can be placed over it, and a local anesthetic is used so that you don’t experience any discomfort.

Advanced Dental Center is now offering same day crowns at our Preston Highway location! We are trained and certified with CEREC® (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics). This means we can prepare your tooth, design your crown, and place the crown on the tooth all in one single appointment. Give us a call today if you are interested in this service!

FAQ's

A dental crown becomes necessary when your tooth has been significantly damaged or decayed and cannot be effectively repaired with a simple filling. Dental crowns are also recommended after root canal treatment to protect the tooth from further damage. They’re essentially ‘caps’ that cover the entire visible part of the tooth, providing strength, stability, and improved appearance. If you have a tooth that’s cracked, worn down, or otherwise weakened, a crown can help protect it from further deterioration. Crowns are also used to hold dental bridges in place and to cover dental implants. In cosmetic dentistry, they can provide a dramatic improvement in the appearance of damaged or discolored teeth. At Advanced Dental Center in Rudy Lane, Louisville, KY, we offer dental crowns as part of our comprehensive range of treatments to restore oral health and give you a confident smile.

Our dental crowns are custom-made to match the shape and size of your existing teeth, ensuring a seamless fit and a natural look. The process involves taking precise impressions of your teeth, which are then used to create your custom crown.

Dental insurance coverage varies significantly from plan to plan, and it’s always best to check with your insurance provider to understand what is covered under your specific policy. Most dental insurance plans do provide some coverage for restorative procedures like dental crowns, but the extent of coverage can vary.

We strive to provide transparent pricing and will work with you to explore all available payment options to ensure you can receive the dental care you need.

When properly designed and fitted, a dental crown should not affect your bite. In fact, one of the key goals when placing a crown is to ensure that it fits seamlessly into your bite, or the way your teeth come together. After your crown is placed, your dentist will check your bite and make necessary adjustments to ensure comfort and proper function. At Advanced Dental Center, we use state-of-the-art technology and techniques to ensure your crown fits perfectly and feels natural in your mouth. Our experienced team takes the time to fine-tune your crown placement, ensuring it not only looks good but also functions just like a natural tooth. We’re committed to delivering high-quality dental care that meets your needs and exceeds your expectations.

The dental crown procedure typically requires two appointments. During your first visit, we’ll prepare your tooth and take impressions for your permanent crown, placing a temporary crown to protect your tooth. This appointment usually takes about 1-2 hours. After your custom crown is fabricated (usually 2-3 weeks), you’ll return for your second appointment, where we’ll fit and cement your permanent crown, typically taking about 30-60 minutes.
