Restore damaged teeth in just one visit. Protect and strengthen your smile with custom dental crowns that look and feel completely natural.
Damaged teeth not only affect your smile but can also lead to more serious oral health issues over time. Whether you’re dealing with a cracked, chipped, or severely decayed tooth, dental crowns offer a reliable solution to restore both function and appearance. These custom-designed caps completely encase your damaged tooth, providing protection while creating a natural-looking restoration.
At Pharr Road Dentistry, we provide high-quality dental crowns to patients throughout Atlanta. Our cosmetic dental team works diligently to deliver dental crown restorations that feel comfortable and look completely natural. We’re committed to helping you achieve optimal oral health with personalized care in our welcoming Buckhead district office.
Dental crowns are custom-made caps placed over damaged teeth to restore their shape, size, strength, and appearance. These restorations completely encase the visible portion of a tooth above the gumline, providing protection while improving aesthetics. Modern dental crowns in Atlanta are designed to match your natural teeth, creating a seamless smile.
Several situations may require a dental crown, including:
After assessing your specific needs, we’ll recommend the most appropriate dental crown solution to restore your smile’s health and beauty.

Different materials can be used to create dental crowns, each with its own advantages. During your consultation at our Atlanta office, we’ll discuss these options and help you select the material based on your specific needs, preferences, and budget.
Our practice uses cutting-edge CEREC CAD/CAM technology to provide same-day dental crown restorations. This advanced system allows us to design, create, and place your permanent crown in just one visit. Using digital impressions and computer-aided design, we fabricate your crown right in our office while you wait.
The CEREC process eliminates the need for temporary crowns and multiple appointments. You’ll enjoy immediate results with a precisely fitted, natural-looking dental crown restoration that’s ready to use right away. This saves you time and ensures you leave our office with your complete, permanent restoration.
Porcelain dental crowns remain one of the most popular options due to their aesthetic qualities. These crowns look remarkably like natural teeth, with the ability to match the color, translucency, and texture of your surrounding teeth. Porcelain is highly biocompatible and rarely causes any irritation to gum tissue.
While not as strong as some other materials, modern advances in dental ceramics have significantly improved the durability of porcelain crowns. They’re particularly ideal for front teeth, where appearance is most important.
Porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) dental crowns combine the natural appearance of porcelain with the strength of a metal substructure. These crowns have been used successfully for decades and provide a good balance of durability and aesthetics.
The metal base provides strength, while the porcelain exterior creates a natural appearance. However, over time, a dark line may become visible near the gumline as gums recede, making them less ideal for front teeth in some cases.
Made from gold, platinum, or base-metal alloys, full metal crowns are extraordinarily durable and require minimal removal of tooth structure. They withstand biting and chewing forces well and rarely chip or break.
While their metallic appearance makes them less popular for visible teeth, they remain a strong option for molars, where strength is crucial and aesthetics are less important. Gold dental crowns, in particular, wear down similarly to natural teeth, preventing damage to opposing teeth.
At Pharr Road Dentistry, your dental crown procedure is performed by our restorative team led by Dr. Keya Patel. Our team has completed advanced training in restorative dentistry and CEREC technology, ensuring precision and efficiency throughout your dental crown treatment. Dr. Patel combines state-of-the-art digital imaging with restorative knowledge to create crowns that match your natural teeth while providing lasting protection.
We take the time to listen, educate, and develop customized treatment plans that address both your immediate needs and long-term oral health. Our caring staff provides support at every step, from your initial consultation through your crown placement, ensuring your comfort and confidence throughout the process.
Many of our dental crown patients describe their treatment as surprisingly easy, noting not only the immediate improvement in function but also the peace of mind that comes with having strong, protected teeth again. Our team takes pride in these restorations and the lasting relationships we build with our patients.
Getting dental crowns at Pharr Road Dentistry is a comfortable, streamlined process designed with your convenience in mind. Here’s what you can expect:
Your dental crown process begins with a comprehensive examination where we’ll assess your tooth’s condition, discuss your goals, and determine if a crown is the appropriate treatment. We’ll explain all available options and help you make an informed decision about your dental crowns in Atlanta.
To accommodate the dental crown, we’ll gently reshape your tooth, removing a small amount of the outer surface. The amount removed depends on the crown material selected. Throughout this process, we ensure your comfort using local anesthesia.
With our CEREC technology, we take digital impressions of your prepared tooth and design your dental crown using computer-aided design software. The crown is then milled from a solid block of ceramic material right in our office. This entire process takes about an hour, during which you can relax in our comfortable Atlanta office.
Once fabricated, we’ll check your new dental crown for proper fit and bite alignment, making any necessary adjustments. When everything is correct, we’ll permanently bond the crown to your tooth using dental cement.
With proper care, dental crowns typically last 10-15 years or even longer. The lifespan depends on factors including the material used, your oral hygiene habits, bite patterns, and whether you grind your teeth. At Pharr Road Dentistry, we use high-quality materials and precise placement techniques to maximize crown longevity. Regular checkups with Dr. Patel and good oral hygiene significantly extend the life of your crowns.
The cost of dental crowns varies depending on the material used and complexity of your case. At Pharr Road Dentistry, we are a fee-for-service practice that files insurance claims for our patients. Many dental insurance plans cover a significant portion of crown treatment when it’s medically necessary. Dr. Patel provides detailed estimates during your consultation, and our team discusses all payment options to make your treatment affordable.
Porcelain crowns offer excellent aesthetics with natural tooth-like appearance, biocompatibility (no metal allergies), resistance to staining, and the ability to be precisely color-matched to your surrounding teeth. At Pharr Road Dentistry, our porcelain crowns reflect light naturally, giving them the same luster as your natural teeth. They’re especially ideal for front teeth where appearance is most important.
Yes, modern dental crowns are designed to look completely natural. At Pharr Road Dentistry, Dr. Patel carefully selects the perfect shade to match your surrounding teeth and ensures the crown’s shape and size blend seamlessly with your smile. Our porcelain and ceramic crowns have the same translucency and light-reflecting properties as natural teeth, making them virtually indistinguishable from your original teeth.
Caring for a dental crown is similar to caring for your natural teeth. Brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, floss daily (paying special attention to the gum line around the crown), avoid chewing hard objects like ice or pens, and maintain regular checkups and cleanings at Pharr Road Dentistry. If you grind your teeth, Dr. Patel may recommend a nightguard to protect both your crown and natural teeth.
