Dental Crowns – Woodstock, GA
Strengthening and Restoring Damaged Teeth
Even though your teeth are protected by enamel, the strongest material in the human body, it’s not completely indestructible. When teeth suffer decay or other types of damage, it can lead to painful chewing, restless sleep, and even difficulty focusing. Thankfully, our team offers high-quality dental crowns in Woodstock to restore both strength and function.

What Is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown is one of the most effective ways to protect and preserve a damaged tooth. It fully covers your tooth from the gum line to the chewing surface, sealing out bacteria and decay while also absorbing chewing forces to minimize further damage. By encasing the remaining tooth structure, the crown helps prevent splits and fractures that can occur when a vulnerable tooth is left exposed.
The Process of Getting a Dental Crown
The dental crown process usually takes place over two appointments. During the first visit, we’ll prepare the tooth by treating it, then shaping it to fit the crown, followed by taking detailed impressions. These impressions are sent to a dental lab, where skilled technicians will craft your custom crown. While this process typically takes 2-3 weeks, we’ll fit you with a temporary crown to protect your tooth in the meantime.
When your permanent crown is ready, you’ll come in for your second appointment. We’ll remove the temporary crown, securely bond the permanent one in place, and check your bite for comfort and alignment. After going over care instructions for your new crown, you’ll be all set to enjoy your restored smile!
Benefits of Getting a Dental Crown
Dental crowns are custom crafted from high-quality materials that closely mimic the look and feel of natural teeth, offering several key benefits:
- Natural Appearance – The color of the crown is carefully matched to blend seamlessly with your surrounding teeth.
- Durability – Just like your natural teeth, dental crowns are built to endure everyday wear and tear, allowing you to enjoy your favorite foods without worry.
- Stain Resistance – While dental crowns are designed to look and feel natural, they also have the added benefit of being resistant to stains, helping them stay pristine.
- Long-Lasting – With proper care, dental crowns can easily last over a decade.
