A crown is a custom cap placed over a damaged or weakened tooth to restore its strength, shape, and appearance. At The Holistic Dental Center, we use metal-free materials like zirconia and ceramic, giving you a strong, natural-looking, biocompatible alternative to traditional metal crowns.
Treatment typically takes two visits. At the first, Dr. Bentler or Dr. Simmons shapes the tooth and takes an impression used to design your custom crown, then places a temporary crown to protect the tooth in the meantime. At your second visit, the finished crown is checked for fit and color, then bonded securely in place.
Strong and durable. Modern zirconia and ceramic materials are designed to withstand everyday biting and chewing.

Metal-free. A good option for patients who prefer to avoid metal in their dental work.
With good oral hygiene and regular checkups, crowns often last many years, though the exact lifespan varies depending on how the tooth is used and cared for.
