Dental Crowns
When a tooth has been weakened by decay, a large filling, fracture, or excessive wear, a dental crown can restore its strength, appearance, and function. Modern dental crowns are designed to protect damaged teeth while blending seamlessly with your natural smile, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
At Woodruff Dental, we believe restorative dentistry should be as precise and conservative as possible. We use premium ceramic materials, advanced digital technology, and personalized treatment planning to create crowns that look beautiful, feel comfortable, and support your long-term oral health.

What Are Dental Crowns?
A dental crown is a custom-made restoration that completely covers a damaged or weakened tooth, restoring its original shape, size, strength, and appearance. Crowns are often recommended when a filling is no longer sufficient to support the remaining tooth structure or after root canal therapy to provide additional protection.
Our crowns are crafted from advanced materials such as E.max® and zirconia, both known for their exceptional durability and lifelike esthetics. E.max ceramic offers outstanding translucency for a natural appearance, making it an excellent choice for highly visible teeth, while zirconia provides remarkable strength for areas that experience greater chewing forces.
Additional crown materials are also available upon patient request to accommodate individual preferences and clinical needs.
Using CEREC digital technology, many qualifying patients can receive a custom ceramic crown during a single appointment. This streamlined process eliminates messy impressions, temporary crowns, and the need for multiple visits while delivering precise and long-lasting results
