When a tooth is too damaged for a filling but still worth saving, a dental crown is the ideal solution. At Cheek Dental, Dr. Kristina Chandler and Dr. Cristi Cheek design crowns that restore both strength and beauty, so your smile looks and feels complete.

A dental crown is a full-coverage restoration designed to protect and reinforce a tooth that has been weakened by decay, fracture, wear, or previous dental work. Clinically, crowns function by restoring the tooth’s structural integrity, allowing it to withstand normal biting and chewing forces without further damage. When a tooth loses a significant amount of natural structure, a crown helps prevent cracks from progressing and reduces the risk of future failure.
Dental crowns are custom-fabricated to fit precisely over the prepared tooth, fully encapsulating it above the gumline. Modern crowns are made from high-strength, tooth-colored materials that closely replicate the appearance and strength of natural enamel. Proper crown design requires careful evaluation of bite alignment, tooth anatomy, and surrounding teeth to ensure even force distribution and long-term stability. Digital imaging and advanced fabrication techniques allow for exceptional precision and predictable outcomes.
At Cheek Dental, dental crowns are planned as part of a comprehensive restorative approach—not just to repair a single tooth, but to support overall oral function. Attention is given to bite balance, jaw comfort, and long-term durability so the restored tooth integrates seamlessly with your natural smile. When designed and placed correctly, a dental crown can restore comfort, protect remaining tooth structure, and provide reliable function for many years.
With our CEREC system, many patients receive their crown in just one visit. Using digital scans, our dentists design your crown chairside and craft it on-site from strong ceramic—no messy impressions, no temporaries, no waiting weeks.
While CEREC same-day crowns offer convenience and elegance, they’re still quite uncommon in dental practices across the U.S. — available in only about 8% of dental offices nationwide.
At Cheek Dental, we’re proud to be part of this select group.
This advanced technology reflects our commitment to precision, comfort, and excellence—and underscores why restorative care at Cheek Dental is as efficient as it is exceptional.
