Crowns

Strengthen and Restore Your Smile With Dental Crowns in Roxborough, CO

At Espire Dental Roxborough, we understand how important a healthy, functional smile is to your confidence and well-being. If you have a damaged, weakened, or cracked tooth, a dental crown may be the perfect solution to restore your smile's strength and beauty. Our team is committed to providing high-quality crowns that look and feel natural so you can get back to enjoying life.

What Are Dental Crowns?

A dental crown is essentially a cap that fits over a damaged tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Crowns are used when a tooth is too damaged for a filling but not lost entirely. They protect the tooth and restore your ability to chew and smile confidently.

At Espire Dental Roxborough, we use crowns to address several common dental concerns, including:

  • Cracked or broken teeth: Crowns cover and protect teeth that are damaged from injury or decay.
  • Weak teeth: Teeth that large fillings or root canal treatments have weakened benefit from the added strength crowns provide.
  • Cosmetic enhancement: Crowns can improve the appearance of teeth that are misshapen, discolored, or worn down.
  • Dental implants: Crowns are placed on top of dental implants to replace missing teeth and provide a natural look and feel.

If you've experienced any of these issues, our Roxborough office can help restore your tooth’s function and appearance so you can enjoy the Colorado outdoors with a smile you're proud of.

The Dental Crown Process: What to Expect at Espire Dental Roxborough

We know that dental treatments can sometimes seem intimidating, so we’ve designed our process to be as seamless and comfortable as possible. Here’s what you can expect when you come in for a crown at Espire Dental Roxborough:

  1. Comprehensive Exam and Consultation: First, we’ll thoroughly examine whether a crown is the best solution for your dental issue. We’ll take digital X-rays to get a detailed view of your tooth and discuss all your options, ensuring that you feel comfortable and informed every step of the way.
  2. Preparing Your Tooth: If a crown is the right choice, the tooth will be prepared by removing any decay and shaping it so the crown fits snugly. Don’t worry—this part of the process is pain-free, thanks to our use of local anesthesia. If you’re nervous about the procedure, we also offer Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas) and IV Sedation to help you relax.
  3. Taking Impressions: Next, we’ll take precise digital impressions of your tooth to ensure your custom crown fits perfectly. These impressions are then sent to a dental lab, where your crown will be expertly crafted to match your natural teeth in color, shape, and size.
  4. Placing a Temporary Crown: While your permanent crown is being made, we’ll place a temporary crown over your tooth to protect it. This allows you to eat and speak comfortably until your final crown is ready.
  5. Fitting Your Permanent Crown: Once your custom crown is ready, you’ll return to our office to have it placed. We’ll make sure it fits perfectly and feels comfortable, making any minor adjustments if needed. After securing the crown with a strong dental cement, your smile will be fully restored, and your tooth will be stronger than ever.

How long do dental crowns last?

With proper care, dental crowns can last 10 to 15 years. Regular check-ups, good oral hygiene, and avoiding hard or sticky foods can extend the life of your crown.

Is getting a crown painful?

The procedure is generally pain-free. We use local anesthesia to numb the area, and for patients with dental anxiety, we offer Nitrous Oxide and IV Sedation for a more relaxing experience.

Will my crown look natural?

Yes! Our crowns are custom-made to match your natural teeth in color, shape, and size, so they blend in beautifully with the rest of your smile.

How should I care for my dental crown?

Caring for a crown is as simple as maintaining good oral hygiene. Brush and floss regularly, avoid chewing on hard objects like ice, and visit our office for routine check-ups to ensure your crown remains in excellent condition.

Can a crown fix a broken tooth?

Absolutely. Crowns are an excellent solution for broken or fractured teeth. They provide both structural support and a natural appearance, restoring the tooth’s full function.

How much do dental crowns cost?

The cost of a crown varies depending on the material used and your dental insurance coverage. Our team will work with you to understand your insurance benefits and ensure you know the full cost of treatment ahead of time.
