Today, much emphasis is placed on having a healthy smile. But if you have one or more teeth that are cracked, chipped, decayed or otherwise degraded, how can you best restore your smile to its former glory? Crowns — also known as tooth caps — are a popular dental restoration option that can be adapted to fit practically any budget restraints or tooth status.
What Is A Dental Crown
A dental crown—sometimes called a “cap”—is a custom restoration used to cover and protect a damaged tooth. At Paramount Dental Center, our crowns not only restore the natural look of your smile but also improve the tooth’s strength, function, and longevity. Once placed, your crown can be cared for just like a natural tooth.
Same-Day Crowns with CEREC Technology
In the past, getting a crown often meant multiple visits, temporary crowns, and weeks of waiting. At Paramount Dental Center, we’ve invested in advanced CEREC technology at both our Kirkland and Seattle offices, allowing us to design, craft, and place your crown in a single appointment. Using precise digital scans and in-office milling, we create a crown that fits perfectly—no messy impressions, no temporary crowns, and no waiting.
Types of Crowns We Offer
- All-Ceramic Crowns (Including CEREC) – Highly aesthetic and durable, these crowns are ideal for matching your natural tooth color and are perfect for same-day restoration.
- Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal – Combines the natural look of porcelain with the strength of a metal base, though the metal may show over time near the gumline.
- Metal Crowns – Extremely durable and long-lasting, often used for molars where strength is more important than appearance.
- Resin Crowns – A more affordable option that offers a natural look, but is less resistant to wear and fracture compared to other materials.
Why Choose a Crown?
Crowns protect weak or damaged teeth, restore broken or worn-down teeth, and cover discolored or misshapen teeth. They can also improve bite alignment and prevent further dental issues. Beyond health benefits, crowns can give you the confidence to smile freely—knowing your teeth look and feel their best.
At Paramount Dental Center, our goal is to make your crown treatment comfortable, efficient, and beautiful—often in just one visit.
