Dental Crowns in Chillicothe, Ohio
At Chillicothe Family Dental, our goal is to provide dentistry that blends seamlessly with your natural teeth. With today’s technology, crowns and restorations can look and feel completely natural while restoring strength, function, and beauty to your smile.
Same-Day Crowns with CEREC Technology
Traditionally, getting a crown required two or more visits and wearing a temporary crown while your permanent one was made at a lab. Now, thanks to advanced CEREC technology, we can design, create, and place your crown in just one appointment at our office in Chillicothe, Ohio.
Benefits of CEREC Same-Day Crowns:
- One visit, one crown – no temporary crown or second appointment
- Digital impressions – no messy trays, just quick 3D scanning
- Precision fit and natural look – crowns are custom-milled in our office
- Strong, durable ceramic material – designed to last for years
- Time-saving convenience – walk in with a damaged tooth, leave with a permanent crown
Our patients love that they can restore their smile in a single day with comfort and confidence.
When Are Dental Crowns Needed?
Dental crowns may be recommended to:
- Restore broken or severely worn teeth
- Protect a weakened tooth from fracture
- Support a large filling when little natural tooth remains
- Anchor a dental bridge
- Improve the appearance of discolored or misshapen teeth
- Cover a dental implant
- Protect teeth after root canal therapy
What Are Dental Crowns?
A dental crown is a protective cap placed over a damaged, decayed, or weakened tooth. Crowns restore the tooth’s shape, size, and strength while improving its appearance. They are also used to anchor dental bridges or protect teeth that have undergone root canal therapy.
Our crowns are made of high-quality porcelain or porcelain fused to gold—materials chosen for their durability and lifelike appearance. With proper care, crowns can last 20–30 years, making them a long-lasting solution for major dental problems.
Key Benefits of Crowns
- Look and feel completely natural
- Restore chewing strength and function
- Prevent further damage to weakened teeth
- Replace missing teeth when combined with a bridge
- Long-lasting results with proper care
Crowns and Dental Health
Many patients suffer from unexplained pain in filled back teeth due to tiny cracks in the tooth surface. Crowns protect these teeth, relieve discomfort, and restore full function.
For front teeth, crowns can improve both strength and appearance, especially when old fillings are worn, chipped, or stained. In cases where porcelain veneers are not an option, porcelain crowns provide an excellent alternative.
