Dental Crowns Provide a Wealth of Benefits
Durability
Our crowns are crafted from durable dental materials such as e-max, empress, zirconia, and porcelain. Designed to withstand tremendous force from biting and chewing, crowns can last a decade or more with proper care.
Restored Oral Health
If left untreated, a weakened or badly decayed tooth may need to be extracted. Our Cordova dentist uses dental crowns to give a tooth a second chance at life by protecting it against further damage.
Natural-Looking Results
Are you concerned your crown won't look natural? Our dentist ensures results that seamlessly blend in with the rest of your smile. Dental porcelain has a natural translucency that mimics real enamel.
What Dental Issues Can Crowns Address?
Tooth Decay
In some instances, a cavity may be too large for a filling. A dental crown protects the tooth and seals it off from bacteria in the mouth to prevent decay from worsening.Missing Tooth
Implant-supported crowns are a trusted and reliable restorative solution for replacing a missing tooth and filling in the gaps. Dental implants prevent the jawbone from weakening as a result of the natural tooth loss process.Root Canal
After receiving a root canal, a tooth is weakened and may require a dental crown. A porcelain crown provides an extra layer of reinforcement and restores the strength and functionality of the tooth.Cosmetic Imperfections
Crowns are typically used in restorative dentistry, but they can also address cosmetic issues. A porcelain crown can adjust the size of a tooth that is too big or small, or conceal discoloration that doesn't respond to whitening."Couldn't Be Happier with the Outcome"

Have been going to Dr. Collier for 10 years. He really cares . I had an emergency problem, and even though he was booked for the day, he made sure to work me into the schedule. I’ve had quite a bit of restorative dentistry in past 10 years, and couldn’t be happier with the outcome Dr . Collier is a perfectionist when it comes to making things look great. He has always made sure that I was 100% satisfied with the work he performed.

Stunning Results from Our Patients
The Types of Dental Crowns
A traditional crown acts as a cap over the tooth, sealing it from all sides and protecting it from damage. Traditional crowns can be created from several materials such as porcelain, zirconia, or e-max. Our dentist can help determine which option is best for you at your initial consultation at our Cordova dental office.
Implant-supported crowns are attached to a dental implant as a permanent solution. Implants mimic tooth roots and provide a strong and sturdy foundation for a crown to attach to. Dr. Collier has extensive training in dental implants and uses advanced technology to place implants with unbeatable precision.

The Dental Crowns Treatment Process

Aftercare
Taking care of your dental crown is similar to taking care of your natural tooth. Our Memphis and Mid-South area dentists recommend you:
Practice Good Oral Hygiene
After your porcelain crown or another style of crown is placed, you should continue brushing twice daily and flossing at least once a day to prevent tooth decay and gum disease.Be Gentle With Your Teeth
While crowns are made of strong materials, they can still crack and break with enough force. Grinding your teeth or chewing on hard objects like ice can cause additional strain on your teeth and wear down your crown.Attend Regular Checkups
Crowns strengthen your teeth, but they cannot prevent other issues like gum disease or infected teeth. Attending regular check-ups and cleanings at the dentist's office will help you maintain good long-term oral health.Ask About Sedation Dentistry If You're Nervous About Treatment
Our Memphis, TN, dental practice offers two forms of sedation dentistry if you are nervous about dental crown treatment. Oral conscious and intravenous (IV) sedation dentistry allow you to respond to the requests of the dentist and team while you are in a state of deep relaxation. Most importantly, patients typically won't remember the details of their dental treatment.
Oral Sedation
This sedation method involves taking a sedative in pill form about an hour before your appointment. You will feel drowsy by the time you arrive at our office, so you will need someone to drive you to and from your appointment. Our team will monitor you during your procedure to ensure you remain safe and comfortable.
IV Sedation
Sedative medication is administered directly into the bloodstream, allowing it to work quickly. IV sedation causes a deeper state of relaxation, leaving you with no memory of your treatment. Your vital signs will be monitored throughout your procedure and your dosage will be adjusted to maximize your comfort and safety.
