Our crowns are crafted from durable dental materials such as e-max, empress, zirconia, and porcelain. Designed to withstand tremendous force from biting and chewing, crowns can last a decade or more with proper care.

Implant-supported crowns are a trusted and reliable restorative solution for replacing a missing tooth and filling in the gaps. Dental implants prevent the jawbone from weakening as a result of the natural tooth loss process.

Crowns are typically used in restorative dentistry, but they can also address cosmetic issues. A crown can adjust the size of a tooth that is too big or small, or conceal discoloration that doesn't respond to whitening.

Have been going to Dr. Collier for 10 years. He really cares . I had an emergency problem, and even though he was booked for the day, he made sure to work me into the schedule. Ive had quite a bit of restorative dentistry in past 10 years, and couldnt be happier with the outcome Dr . Collier is a perfectionist when it comes to making things look great. He has always made sure that I was 100% satisfied with the work he performed.

From the time we entered into their office until we left, everyone was courtesy, friendly, and professional. We were made to feel comfortable and welcome. Dr. Collier explained everything to us like no one ever did and with patients than he answered all of ours questions and concerns.

Our dentist will evaluate your tooth to determine if a dental crown is the right option for you. We will walk through the treatment steps, provide a cost estimate, and answer any questions you may have.

To begin the dental crown procedure, our dentist will first administer anesthesia to ensure your comfort at all times. Any sedation options may also be added at this time. He will remove a small amount of enamel from the tooth to create room for the new crown.

The impressions are sent to our trusted dental lab, where a technician will craft your custom crown. The average turnaround time is two to three weeks. In the meantime, we will place a temporary crown to protect your tooth.

Once the permanent crown is ready, you'll return to our dental office for a fitting and to remove your temporary crown. Our dentist will assess the new crown for shape, color, and fit before permanently bonding it into place.

The cost of a dental crown depends on several factors, such as which tooth is being treated and what crown material was selected. For example, a crown on your back molars will typically cost more due to the size. Our team is transparent about all costs and can provide an accurate estimate after evaluating your tooth at our Cordova office.

Southern Dental Implant Center is a provider for Medicare and offers financing to help make treatment more affordable. We understand that the need for a crown can come at unexpected times and can be challenging to budget for. Our dental team is happy to discuss your financing options with you to set you on a journey to optimal oral health.

Traditional: A traditional bridge is made up of two crowns at each end with a prosthetic tooth (or teeth) in the middle. These prosthetic teeth, also referred to as pontics, literally bridge the gap in your smile and are custom-made to match your natural teeth.

Implant-Supported: Modern advancements in restorative dentistry have now made implant-supported bridges a trusted and popular option. Instead of relying on crowns to hold the pontic teeth in place, implant bridges are self-supported with titanium posts embedded within your jaw.

Next, we prepare the teeth adjacent to the gap in your smile. The dentist will remove some enamel from each tooth and reshape the structure to accommodate your custom crowns. Then, we take detailed impressions of your mouth and remaining teeth to get started on your permanent dental bridge. We will place a temporary until your next visit.

Dr. Collier has a background in prosthetics and takes pride in designing exceptionally lifelike restorations. By taking into account your coloring and facial features, as well as your natural teeth, your bridge will be designed to look natural and enhance your entire appearance. These impressions and designs are sent off to our trusted dental lab where technicians hand-craft the restoration.

In about two to three weeks, your permanent dental bridge will be ready and you can return to the office for placement. Our dentist will check the fit and aesthetics of the crowns and pontics, and secure the bridge in place with dental cement.

Treatment will look much different if you choose to restore your smile with an implant bridge. During a minor surgery,incisions will be made in your gums and two or more dental implants will be placed. Although treatment takes several months, implants offer several benefits.
