Restore and Protect Your Smile with Custom Dental Crowns

At Carlson Family Dentistry & Implants, we provide high-quality dental crowns in Littleton, CO to restore the strength, function, and appearance of damaged teeth. Whether you have a cracked tooth, severe decay, or a worn-down restoration, our custom crowns offer a long-lasting solution tailored to your needs.

A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap placed over a damaged or weakened tooth to restore its size, shape, and strength. Our Littleton dental crowns are made from durable, natural-looking materials, ensuring a seamless fit with the rest of your smile.

When Do You Need a Dental Crown?

A dental crown may be recommended in several situations, including:

Severe Tooth Decay – When a cavity is too large for a filling, a crown provides the necessary support.
Cracked or Broken Teeth – Crowns reinforce fractured teeth, preventing further damage.
After a Root Canal – A crown protects and strengthens a tooth after a root canal treatment.
Worn-Down Teeth – If your teeth have been worn down due to grinding (bruxism) or erosion, a crown helps restore their original shape.
Cosmetic Enhancement – A crown can improve the appearance of a misshapen or severely discolored tooth.
Supporting a Dental Bridge – Crowns are used to anchor a dental bridge and replace missing teeth.

If you're unsure whether a crown is the right choice for you, our team will assess your dental health and recommend the most effective treatment.

What to Expect During the Dental Crown Procedure

Getting a dental crown in Littleton typically requires two visits to our office. Here's what you can expect:

Initial Examination & Tooth Preparation: During your first visit, we will examine the tooth and take digital X-rays to assess the extent of damage. If a crown is the best solution, we will prepare the tooth by removing any decay and reshaping it to accommodate the restoration.
Impressions & Temporary Crown: Next, we take precise digital impressions of your tooth to create a custom-fitted crown. While your permanent crown is being fabricated, we place a temporary crown to protect your tooth.
Custom Crown Placement: Once your permanent crown is ready, you'll return for a second visit. We remove the temporary crown, check the fit and color of the new one, and securely bond it in place using strong dental cement. The result is a natural-looking, durable restoration that blends seamlessly with your smile.
