Dental Crowns in Scottsdale, AZ

At My Scottsdale Dentist, Dr. Steven H. Poulos, DDS, Dr. Erica Elannan, DDS, and Dr. Mike Wassef, DDS, ICOI, provide high-quality dental crowns to restore the health, strength, and beauty of damaged teeth. If you have a tooth that is broken, cracked, or too damaged for a filling or veneer, a crown can restore both function and appearance.

What Are All-Ceramic Crowns?

A dental crown is a custom-made cap that completely covers a tooth to strengthen and protect it. Unlike traditional porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns, all-ceramic crowns contain no metal, making them the most natural-looking option available.

Because teeth are naturally translucent, only an all-ceramic crown can fully mimic this appearance. These crowns are ideal for patients who want restorations that blend seamlessly with surrounding teeth—especially in highly visible areas like the front of the mouth.

Benefits of All-Ceramic Crowns

Natural appearance – lifelike translucency that matches real teeth
Durability – restores strength to weak or fractured teeth
Biocompatibility – no metal, which is ideal for patients with sensitivities
Cosmetic enhancement – can improve both the shape and color of your smile

When bonded properly, all-ceramic crowns provide a long-lasting solution that restores both beauty and function.

Considerations and Limitations

While all-ceramic crowns look the most natural, they are not as strong as porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns. For this reason, our dentists carefully evaluate the location of your crown, your bite, and your cosmetic goals before recommending the right option.

All-ceramic crowns also require advanced bonding techniques, which is why it’s important to choose an experienced provider like Dr. Poulos, Dr. Elannan, or Dr. Wassef.

Types of Ceramic Materials Used in Crowns

Our practice offers several high-quality ceramic options to fit your needs:

Feldspathic Porcelain – Traditional porcelain, known for its exceptional beauty and lifelike results.
Empress – A glass-like ceramic material with precise fit and strong bonding properties.
Lava™ Zirconia – Offers exceptional strength, making it a good choice for back teeth, though less translucent than feldspathic porcelain.
Procera® – A milled ceramic that balances strength with translucency, providing a natural look and durable performance.

Each material has its strengths, and our dentists will guide you toward the best choice for your smile.

Other Crown Options

For patients needing additional durability, especially for back molars, porcelain-fused-to-gold crowns may be recommended. We also provide inlays, onlays, and other custom restorative solutions to repair and protect damaged teeth.

Restore Your Smile with Confidence

At My Scottsdale Dentist, our team customizes every crown to ensure a comfortable fit and natural appearance. Whether you need a crown for cosmetic reasons or to strengthen a damaged tooth, Dr. Poulos, Dr. Elannan, and Dr. Wassef are here to help you achieve the healthiest and most beautiful smile possible.
