Crowns (All-Ceramic/Zirconia, PFM, Gold)

Dental Crowns in Knoxville, TN – Strong, Beautiful Smile Restorations

If a tooth has suffered extensive decay, fracture, or wear, a dental crown may be the best solution. Sometimes called a “cap,” a crown completely covers the tooth to restore its shape, size, and strength while improving appearance.

At Cornerstone Dental Arts, we use advanced technology and high-quality materials to create crowns that look natural, feel comfortable, and last for many years.

When Is a Crown Needed?

Crowns are often recommended when:

• A tooth has a large cavity that can’t be restored with a filling

• A tooth is cracked, fractured, or significantly worn down

• After root canal therapy, to strengthen the treated tooth

• To restore dental implants

• For cosmetic enhancement of discolored or misshaped teeth

Types of Crowns We Offer

• All-Ceramic & Zirconia: Tooth-colored, highly esthetic, strong, and stain-resistant. Excellent for front or back teeth.

• Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM): A durable option with a metal base covered by porcelain for a balance of strength and appearance.

• Gold Crowns: Extremely durable, gentle on opposing teeth, and long-lasting—though less esthetic, making them popular for back molars.

Benefits of Dental Crowns

• Restore full function for chewing and speaking

• Protect weakened teeth from further damage

• Improve appearance with natural-looking materials

• Provide long-term durability with proper care

• Support surrounding teeth and preserve alignment

The Crown Process

1. Consultation & Preparation: The tooth is shaped, and an impression or digital scan is taken.

2. Temporary Crown: A temporary crown is placed to protect the tooth.

3. Custom Fabrication: Your crown is created in a dental lab or with advanced technology.

4. Placement: The permanent crown is securely bonded for strength and comfort.

In some cases, same-day crowns may be possible with digital scanning and milling technology.
