Dental Crowns in Las Vegas, NV

Experience the convenience of custom-crafted, natural-looking dental crowns delivered in a single appointment using our advanced CEREC technology – exclusively at Smiles for Life.

What Are Dental Crowns?

Dental crowns are custom-made caps that completely cover damaged or weakened teeth to restore their shape, size, strength, and appearance. Think of a crown as a protective helmet for your tooth, preserving the remaining tooth structure while preventing further damage. These durable prosthetic restorations are designed to match the color, contour, and function of your natural teeth, making them virtually indistinguishable from the rest of your smile.

At Smiles for Life, we primarily use porcelain crowns because they offer the most natural-looking results. Unlike metal crowns, porcelain reflects light similarly to natural tooth enamel and can be precisely color-matched to your surrounding teeth. Our crowns are custom-designed using advanced computer technology to ensure a perfect fit and optimal function.

Dental crowns can address numerous dental issues, including protecting teeth after root canal treatment, covering large cavities that can’t be filled conventionally, strengthening cracked or broken teeth, and improving the appearance of discolored or misshapen teeth. With proper care, your dental crown can last 10-15 years or even longer, making it an excellent investment in your oral health.

Why Get a Dental Crown

Cavities, severe bite pressure, trauma, and even normal function can cause significant harm to teeth. The tooth may be highly vulnerable if a root canal is required to save a severely damaged nerve. If treatment is not received, you might lose your tooth. Dental crowns, often known as caps, allow your teeth to be repaired and encased by natural-looking materials. When we cannot restore the damaged tooth adequately with a filling, we may recommend dental crowns.

Same-Day Dental Crowns

We are one of the few dentists in Las Vegas who uses CEREC 3D technology to replace teeth with porcelain crowns in only one visit. CEREC is an acronym for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramic. This cutting-edge technology combines computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) to provide patients with single-day restorations. We use metal-free and tooth-colored restorations to restore your tooth’s natural beauty, strength, and function.

What Is The Cost of a Dental Crown in Las Vegas?

The average range for dental crowns in Las Vegas is $700 to $1,600, depending on the materials used and the complexity of the case. While most treatments fall within this range, we recommend scheduling a consultation for an accurate estimate based on your specific dental needs.

Key Factors Affecting Crown Costs:

Material Selection: Premium all-ceramic options cost more than metal alloys
Case Complexity: Severely damaged teeth may require additional procedures
Insurance Coverage: Depending on your insurance plan and benefits, this can affect your final cost

At Smiles for Life, we do our very best to keep costs affordable and try to save you money through properly billing insurance companies for maximum contribution, and by offering flexible payment options through our dental savings plan.

What Are The Benefits of Dental Crowns?

Restoration of Function and Strength

Dental crowns completely encase your damaged tooth, restoring its strength and allowing you to bite and chew normally again. Unlike fillings, which replace only a portion of the tooth, crowns provide comprehensive protection by covering the entire visible portion of the tooth above the gumline. This full coverage is particularly important for teeth that have undergone root canal treatment or have significant structural damage from decay or fractures. With a crown, you can enjoy all the foods you love without worrying about further damage to your tooth.

Natural Appearance and Confidence

Our porcelain crowns are meticulously crafted to match the color, translucency, and contour of your natural teeth, creating a seamless appearance that enhances your smile. This is especially important for front teeth, where aesthetics are paramount. The tooth-colored material we use mimics natural tooth enamel in how it reflects light, making it virtually impossible to distinguish from your surrounding teeth. Many patients report a significant boost in self-confidence after having unsightly damaged teeth restored with our natural-looking crowns.

Immediate Results with Same-Day Technology

With our CEREC same-day crown technology, you can walk in with a damaged tooth and leave with a permanent, beautiful restoration in just one appointment. This eliminates the discomfort and inconvenience of temporary crowns, which can be sensitive, prone to coming loose, and less aesthetically pleasing. Same-day treatment also means fewer injections, less time in the dental chair, and immediate resolution to your dental issues. For busy professionals and those with dental anxiety, this streamlined approach makes restoring your smile significantly less stressful.

Long-Term Protection and Durability

Quality dental crowns protect your damaged teeth from further decay and deterioration, potentially saving them from extraction. By sealing and protecting the vulnerable tooth structure, crowns help prevent bacteria from causing additional damage. With proper care—including regular brushing twice a day, flossing, and dental check-ups—your crown can last 10-15 years or longer. This makes crowns a cost-effective long-term solution compared to the ongoing expenses associated with treating progressively worsening dental problems.

Experience the convenience of same-day dental crowns – no temporaries, no waiting, just one appointment for a beautiful, permanent restoration.

How Long Do Dental Crowns Last?

With proper care, dental crowns typically last 10-15 years, though many can last even longer. The longevity of your crown depends on several factors, including your oral hygiene practices, habits (such as teeth grinding or using teeth to open packages), and regular dental check-ups. Porcelain crowns resist staining and maintain their appearance over time, but they can chip or crack if subjected to extreme forces. To maximize the lifespan of your crown, continue regular dental visits and avoid using your teeth as tools.

Does Getting a Dental Crown Hurt?

The dental crown procedure is performed under local anesthesia, ensuring you don’t feel pain during the treatment. Our dentists are known for their gentle approach, and we offer dental sedation options for patients with dental anxiety. After the procedure, you might experience some sensitivity for a few days, particularly to hot or cold temperatures, but this typically resolves quickly. Any discomfort is usually mild and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers if needed.

What Should I Do If My Crown Feels Loose or Falls Off?

If your crown feels loose or comes off completely, contact our office immediately for an emergency appointment. Store the crown in a clean, safe container and bring it with you. In most cases, we can re-cement the crown if it’s undamaged. While waiting for your appointment, avoid chewing on that side of your mouth and be careful with the exposed tooth, which may be sensitive. Never attempt to glue the crown back yourself with household adhesives, as these can damage both the crown and your tooth.
