Dental Crowns in Miami

A better life starts with a beautiful smile

Restore your smile with high-quality dental crowns in Miami at Avana Smile Design.
Durable, natural-looking solutions tailored to your needs.

Everyone deserves to have a happy, healthy smile, but damaged teeth may be holding you back from looking and feeling your best. In fact, damaged teeth can also make it hard to chew or even speak, and the pain caused by a damaged tooth can make everyday living difficult.

While there are plenty of dental techniques that can address problems like tooth decay, damaged teeth often benefit from receiving dental crowns. A dental crown functions as a tooth cap that covers a damaged tooth to protect it while enhancing its appearance. After receiving a permanent dental crown, it will function much like a regular tooth, and each crown is colored to match your existing teeth so that it blends seamlessly into your smile.

Are Dental Crowns Right for Me?

In some cases, dental crowns are used to repair teeth that have been damaged due to an injury or decay, but in other situations, tooth crowns may be used after a procedure like a root canal. In other cases, dental crowns are used to cosmetically enhance a smile that has been damaged by broken or chipped teeth.

Crowns are not usually used to repair teeth that have become discolored. Tooth whitening is a procedure that specifically addresses this problem, but crowns do play a role in the whitening process. This is because a crown will need to be created to match the color of your existing teeth, but unlike regular teeth, crowns do not change color over time. As a result, it’s often recommended to have your teeth whitened prior to receiving a crown to ensure proper color matching.

Crowns are also not meant to work like fillings. A tooth filling procedure is used to remove decayed pieces of a tooth and fill in the hole left behind. If a tooth has been severely damaged, a filling may no longer be a viable option, however, and a root canal and crown may be needed instead. As a tooth cap, a crown builds up the foundation of existing tooth tissue instead of removing and replacing it like a filling procedure.

Your Dental Crowns Options

Crowns come in a variety of options, and each type serves a different purpose. Below are several different crown options that are commonly used in modern dentistry:

Ceramic/Porcelain

A ceramic crown is often constructed using porcelain. This type of crown can be shaded to match existing teeth for better color matching and blending. Additionally, a ceramic crown can ease temperature sensitivity as the material does not conduct heat as easily as metal materials.

Metal

Metals like gold and palladium are often used in metal crowns. A metal dental crown provides durability and can withstand a lot of wear with minimal impact on the material. Because metals are usually not colored to match existing tooth tissue, they are often best for placement on teeth that are located in the back of the mouth or on the sides out of sight.

Resin

Resin is usually used for temporary crowns that are meant to be replaced with more sturdy materials in the future. One benefit to resin crowns is that they can often be made in the same day as the appointment to have them placed, and they may cost less than a permanent tooth cap crown. In general, resin crowns will need to be replaced with a permanent crown at some point or the resin will eventually break down.

Same-Day or Traditional Dental Crown Procedure?

Traditional tooth crowns are created in a dentistry lab using a mold of your teeth. This mold is taken through a bite impression as well as by using scanning technology in some cases. Once created, the crown is sent back to your dentist for application. This process can take several weeks to complete, but you will have a temporary crown put in place to protect your tooth while you wait.

You can also take advantage of modern advances in dental technology by having a crown made in the same day as your appointment. Same-day dental crowns can usually be constructed by a dental crowns specialist using materials like ceramic. This process takes place during the same visit to have the crown put in place. By taking advantage of same-day crowns, you can avoid the longer wait times that come along with traditional tooth crowns, and you can also avoid the need for a temporary crown to be put in place.

Benefits of Dental Crowns

The biggest benefit of receiving a dental crown is that it protects a damaged tooth. Teeth don’t heal like other parts of the body, so damaged dental tissue needs to be supported when it becomes weakened. A crown provides this support while working with any remaining tissue to function like a regular tooth. Once you have a crown in place, you should be able to chew and speak just as if you had not had any dental work performed.

Crowns are also a fantastic way to get the smile you want regardless of your dental history. Broken or chipped teeth can be very noticeable, and many people simply don’t feel their best when they’re self-conscious about how their smile looks. This can impact everything from your career prospects to personal relationships, but it may also affect your mental health. By restoring your smile using crowns, you have the potential to feel more confident, outgoing and free to be your best self.

Dental Crown Alternatives

Of course, dental crowns may not be the route you want to take, so the dental care team at Avana Smile Design will be more than happy to work with you to find the right solution to meet your needs. Below are some alternatives to crowns:

Onlay Treatment

An onlay treatment is usually performed using porcelain that it bonded to the surface of existing tooth structure. In order for this crown alternative to be successful, you will need to have enough of the existing tooth structure intact to work with.

Tooth Extraction

A tooth extraction is often the last resort when it comes to repairing your smile, but it may be a necessary step in restoring your dental health. An extraction requires the removal of the entire tooth. Afterward, a dental implant may be installed to take your natural tooth’s place and fill in the hold left behind.

How Much Do Dental Crowns Cost in Miami?

In terms of cost, crowns can range in price depending on a number of factors, including the crown material, the complexity of the damage and whether you choose a traditional crown or a same-day dental crown.

On average, a dental crown in Miami will cost between $750 and $1,500. At Avana Smile Design, we strive to meet each client’s budget while also providing the best dental experience.

Does Insurance Cover This Treatment?
