All-Porcelain Crowns

A compromised tooth can cause you pain and allow infection to set in. Dental crowns renew strength and return function to a cracked, broken, or root canaled tooth. But traditional porcelain fused crowns require a metal framework that can cause an unsightly grey ring at the gum line. At Chesterfield Valley Dental Group, you don't have to settle for procedures of the past. Our state-of-the-art St. Louis dental practice offers zirconium crowns milled using advanced CAD/CAM technology.

How Will I Know if I Need a Crown?

After your initial examination, Missouri family dentist Dr. Robert Goldman or Dr. Jeffrey Yenzer will recommend the appropriate treatment based on your unique oral health needs. Typically, dental crowns are recommended for teeth that have been weakened substantially as a result of tooth decay or injury. Often, a dental crown may be an ideal option when other more conservative treatments such as dental fillings, porcelain veneers, or tooth bonding are ruled out.

What is a Zirconium Crown?

Made from an all-porcelain block, zirconium crowns provide exquisite aesthetics and does not result in gray shadows at the gum line the way older crowns made of a gold understructure would. We work with May Dental Lab, the finest dental lab in St. Louis, for all of our crown restorations, since they will provide you with the highest quality results.

What is CAD/CAM Technology?

CAD/CAM is a computer aided design and milling method that uses a digital photograph and software to create a beautiful restoration. We'll take a digital image of your tooth, then the CAD/CAM machine mills a crown from the zirconium block that looks and feels just like your natural tooth. The CAD/CAM machine's precise color-matching system also means that your crown will blend seamlessly with your smile.
