How long does a crown last?

With good oral hygiene and regular checkups, all-ceramic crowns typically last 10 to 15 years or longer.

Does getting a crown hurt?

We use local anesthesia to ensure you are comfortable throughout the procedure. Most patients report little to no discomfort during or after the process.

How many visits does a crown require?

Typically two visits. At the first, we prepare the tooth and place a temporary crown. At the second, we bond your permanent custom crown in place.

Why all-ceramic instead of porcelain-fused-to-metal?

All-ceramic crowns provide superior aesthetics with natural light transmission. They eliminate the dark line at the gum margin that metal-backed crowns can show over time, and they are biocompatible for patients with metal sensitivities.

Dental Crowns

All-ceramic crowns that restore strength, natural translucency, and beauty to teeth that are cracked, weakened, or heavily restored.

Metal-Free Crowns That Look Natural

A dental crown is a custom-made cap that fits over a damaged tooth, restoring its shape, size, strength, and appearance. At My Scottsdale Dentist, we use exclusively all-ceramic crowns with no metal substructure, giving you restorations that look and feel like natural teeth.

Our ceramic crowns offer natural translucency that mimics real enamel, something porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns cannot match. They are also biocompatible, making them an excellent choice for patients with metal sensitivities.

Crown Materials We Use

We select the ideal ceramic material based on the location and function of the tooth being restored:

Feldspathic Porcelain for maximum aesthetics on front teeth
Empress pressed ceramic for a balance of beauty and strength
Lava Zirconia for exceptional durability on back teeth
Procera for precision-milled crowns with outstanding fit

When You Might Need a Crown

A tooth with a large filling that has weakened the remaining structure
After root canal therapy to protect the treated tooth
A cracked or fractured tooth
Severe wear from grinding or erosion
To cap a dental implant
To improve the shape or appearance of a misshapen tooth
