A Cracked, Broken, or Worn-Down Tooth

If a tooth is cracked, broken, or worn down enough that a filling won't restore it properly, it's worth asking about your options. Dr. Bentler or Dr. Simmons can design a custom, metal-free cap using zirconia or ceramic to restore the tooth's strength, shape, and appearance.

Signs You Should Bring It Up

  • A tooth is cracked, broken, or significantly worn down
  • A large filling has failed and the tooth needs more support
  • You've had a root canal and need a crown to protect the tooth
  • You want to replace an old metal crown with a metal-free option

How We Evaluate at The Holistic Dental Center

Dr. Bentler or Dr. Simmons shapes the tooth and takes an impression used to design your custom zirconia or ceramic crown, then places a temporary crown to protect the tooth while the permanent one is made.

What Happens Next

At your second visit, the finished crown is checked for fit and color, then bonded securely in place. With good care, crowns often last many years. If a damaged tooth needs more support, call The Holistic Dental Center at (509) 325-2051.
