What are Dental Crowns?
A dental crown is a custom-crafted restoration that completely covers and protects a damaged or weakened tooth. At Vail Dental Design, we use advanced technology to create beautiful, durable crowns in a single visit. Our same-day crowns are precisely designed to restore both function and aesthetics, giving you a natural-looking solution that fits perfectly with your smile.
The Benefits of Dental Crowns
Restored Function
Crowns allow you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence again. By encasing your damaged tooth in a strong, protective cap, crowns restore full function while preventing further deterioration.
Natural Appearance
Our crowns are crafted from high-quality ceramic materials that mimic natural tooth structure. Each crown is custom-colored and shaped to blend seamlessly with your surrounding teeth.
Long-Term Protection
A well-maintained crown can protect your tooth for many years. By preventing further damage and decay, crowns help preserve your natural tooth structure and avoid more extensive treatments.

The Dental Crown Process
Comprehensive Evaluation
We begin with a thorough examination of your tooth, including digital imaging. Dr. Arnold will discuss your options and help you choose the best type of crown for your specific situation.
Digital Impressions
Using advanced intraoral scanning technology, we create precise digital impressions of your teeth. This comfortable, powder-free process eliminates the need for traditional impression materials.
Design and Fabrication
Our computer-aided design software allows us to create a crown that fits perfectly with your bite and smile. For same-day crowns, we mill your restoration while you wait; lab-created crowns require a second appointment.
Final Placement
Once your crown is ready, we'll ensure a perfect fit and make any necessary adjustments. The crown is then permanently bonded in place, restoring your tooth's strength and appearance.
