Benefits of Dental Crowns
A dental crown, also known as a tooth crown or a tooth cap, is a customized porcelain cap that fits tightly over your natural tooth. Because these crowns are designed so precisely, they will be comfortable in your mouth and feel just like a natural tooth. The porcelain material also allows these crowns to match the color of their neighboring teeth and blend in seamlessly.
A tooth cap also strengthens and protects your natural tooth. A dental crown can be used to help cover:
Broken Teeth
Cracked Teeth
Missing Teeth
Root Canal
Dr. Bhatnagar has been placing crowns for over 21 years, and we are excited to give you the benefit of her experience. You can get a CEREC crown the same day as your appointment with our fantastic technology.

When Is a Tooth Crown Needed?
There are several reasons why Dr. Bhatnagar might recommend a tooth crown, including the following:
Same-Day Dental Crowns
Thanks to our CEREC technology, you can walk into our office and receive a crown on the same day. With CEREC, we can custom-fabricate a beautiful crown with technology similar to a 3D printer.
Your same-day crown will repair your smile without compromising on quality or affecting your schedule.
Benefits of Dental Bridges
Tooth bridges are an excellent way to restore multiple teeth at once and receive all the health benefits that come from a full smile. With a dental bridge, you will experience:
A Full Smile
Feel confident again once those gaps have been seamlessly repaired with a tooth bridge.
Easier Chewing and Speaking
Multiple missing teeth can change the way you perform basic tasks like eating and speaking, but a dental bridge will allow you to speak and eat naturally again.
Better Health
With a sturdy dental bridge in place over the gaps in your teeth, you will be able to eat normally which can make improvements to your diet as well as your emotional health.
Dental Bridge vs. Implants
Dental bridges and dental implants are both proven and effective ways to replace missing teeth. If you are trying to decide between a fixed bridge or a dental implant, consider:
- Dental bridges tend to be less expensive than implants.
- Dental bridges are a faster way to restore 1–3 missing teeth in a gap.
- Dental implants place less stress on neighboring teeth.
- Dental implants exist independently.
