Dental crowns are used to restore teeth that have been weakened by decay, fracture or extensive wear. At Elwell Family Dentistry, Dr. Greg Elwell, Dr. Jim Stevens, and Dr. Jim Hutson provide custom-crafted crowns designed to restore strength, function and a natural appearance.
Rather than prioritizing speed, our approach focuses on precision, durability and long-term success. Crowns are carefully planned and fabricated by experienced dental laboratories we trust, allowing for detailed craftsmanship, accurate fit and natural aesthetics.
Why We Use Laboratory-Crafted Crowns
We believe high-quality restorations require thoughtful planning and skilled laboratory support. Using expert dental labs allows us to:
• Achieve precise fit and proper bite alignment
• Match color, shape and contour naturally
• Select materials appropriate for strength and longevity
• Avoid rushed fabrication that may compromise results
While crown treatment may require more than one visit, this approach supports predictable, long-lasting outcomes.
What to Expect During Crown Treatment
Crown treatment begins with an evaluation to determine whether a crown is the appropriate option. The tooth is then prepared conservatively and impressions are taken to guide fabrication by the dental laboratory. A temporary crown is placed to protect the tooth while your custom restoration is being created.
Once your permanent crown is ready, it is carefully fitted, adjusted as needed and cemented to restore comfort, function and appearance. Our doctors take time to ensure proper bite and long-term stability.
