Restoring Strength and Beauty to Damaged Teeth
A dental crown is one of the most effective ways to restore a tooth that’s been weakened by decay, fracture, or large fillings. At Peach Dental in Atlanta, we offer durable, natural-looking crowns that reinforce your bite and improve your smile. Whether you're in Dunwoody, Brookhaven, or Sandy Springs, our team provides custom crown solutions using advanced materials and modern dental technology.
What Is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap that is placed over a damaged or decayed tooth to restore its function, shape, and appearance. It fully encases the visible portion of the tooth above the gumline.
Common reasons for receiving a dental crown include:
- Protecting a weak or cracked tooth from further damage
- Restoring a tooth after a large cavity or root canal
- Covering a misshapen or discolored tooth
- Supporting a dental bridge
- Restoring a tooth following dental implant placement
Our crowns are crafted to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, ensuring long-lasting results both functionally and aesthetically.
Our Dental Crown Process
At Peach Dental, we use a streamlined process to make crown treatment efficient and comfortable:
- Evaluation and Diagnosis
During your exam, we assess the damage and determine whether a crown is the right option. This may involve digital scans or 3D CT imaging for precision. - Tooth Preparation
The affected tooth is gently reshaped to allow room for the crown. We take digital impressions to design a crown that fits precisely. - Crown Placement
Once the custom crown is ready, it’s bonded securely to your tooth. We ensure a perfect fit, bite alignment, and natural appearance.
We also offer IV sedation and nitrous oxide for patients who prefer additional comfort during the procedure.
Types of Crowns We Offer
Depending on your needs and location of the tooth, Peach Dental provides several types of dental crowns:
- Porcelain or Ceramic Crowns for front teeth and cosmetic enhancements
- Zirconia Crowns for superior strength and durability
- Porcelain-fused-to-metal Crowns for strong support with a natural appearance
- Same-day crowns using 3D printing technology, where applicable
We help patients choose the right material based on durability, aesthetics, and personal preferences.
Supporting Your Long-Term Oral Health
Dental crowns play a critical role in restorative and cosmetic care. They’re often used in smile transformation cases, along with veneers or teeth whitening, and are essential in restoring function after procedures like bone grafting or gum grafting.
Patients throughout Atlanta and Sandy Springs often receive crowns as part of their overall restorative dentistry plan to improve chewing comfort, alignment, and long-term oral stability.
Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Crowns
How long do dental crowns last?
With proper care, dental crowns can last 10 to 15 years or longer. Regular dental cleanings and good oral hygiene are essential to maximizing their lifespan.
Does getting a crown hurt?
The process is not painful. We use local anesthesia and offer sedation options to keep you completely comfortable.
Are crowns covered by insurance?
Many dental insurance plans provide partial coverage for crowns when they are medically necessary. Our team will help you understand your benefits and provide financing options through Cherry if needed.
Can crowns be placed on front teeth?
Yes. We often use porcelain or ceramic crowns for front teeth to maintain a natural appearance while restoring strength and function.
Is a crown better than a filling?
Crowns are typically recommended when a tooth is too damaged or weakened to support a large filling. They offer full coverage and longer-term protection.
