Restore Your Smile with Dental Crowns
When you have a damaged or deeply decayed tooth, a dental crown is often the best way to fix your smile. Dental crowns offer an effective solution for restoring the strength, function, and integrity of compromised teeth.
At Rudnick Dentistry, our custom dental crowns are designed to protect and reinforce damaged teeth, allowing you to regain comfort and confidence. With our focus on precision and advanced materials, each crown is crafted to blend seamlessly with your natural smile.

What Are Dental Crowns?
Dental crowns are a widely used restorative treatment designed to protect and strengthen compromised teeth. A crown acts as a cap that covers a damaged or weakened tooth, helping to restore its structure, durability, and function.
At Rudnick Dentistry, we offer high-quality zirconia and e.max ceramic crowns which are both known for their exceptional strength and natural appearance.
Whether your needs are functional, cosmetic, or both, our dental crowns are designed to provide lasting protection while enhancing your smile’s natural beauty. We combine advanced materials with precise craftsmanship so your restored tooth feels comfortable, functions seamlessly, and looks completely natural.
BEFORE
AFTER
When You Might Need a Dental Crown
A dental crown may be recommended if you:
- Have a tooth weakened by a large filling or root canal treatment
- Have a broken, cracked, or chipped tooth
- Want to protect a tooth from further damage after a fracture
- Have severe enamel erosion from grinding or acid wear
- Need to restore the appearance of a misshapen or discolored tooth
- Require the visible portion of a dental implant
Crowns are not just cosmetic. They restore full function, making it easier to chew, speak, and smile.
Benefits of Dental Crowns
Dental crowns offer a range of restorative benefits that go beyond simply covering a damaged tooth. Here are some key advantages of dental crowns:
Stabilizes Dental Health: Helps maintain the alignment of adjacent teeth and prevents shifting, promoting overall dental stability.- Strengthens Weakened Teeth: Provides essential reinforcement for teeth that are damaged, cracked, or weakened due to decay or fractures.
- Restores Tooth Function: Enables normal chewing, biting, and speaking by restoring the full functionality of compromised teeth.
- Protects Against Further Damage: Covers and shields vulnerable teeth, preventing further decay or structural damage.
- Long-Lasting Durability: Made from durable materials, crowns can withstand normal biting forces for a lasting solution.

Our advanced technology allows us to complete many crowns in a single visit with our Fastmill.io™ same-day system. Here’s what you can expect:
- Comprehensive Exam & Diagnosis: We begin with a full evaluation using high-resolution digital imaging to assess the tooth and surrounding structures.
- Tooth Preparation: We remove any decay or damaged areas and shape the tooth so the crown will fit securely.
- Digital Scanning: Instead of messy impressions, we take a quick, comfortable digital scan of your teeth.
- In-Office Crown Milling: Your crown is designed and milled right in our office, eliminating the need for temporary crowns or a two-week wait.
- Color Matching & Customization: We match the crown shade to your surrounding teeth for a natural look.
- Crown Placement: The crown is securely bonded to your tooth, and we adjust your bite for comfort.
- Final Check: You leave with your permanent crown the very same day — strong, functional, and beautiful.
Types of Dental Crowns We Offer
At Rudnick Dentistry, we provide a variety of crown materials to suit different needs, locations in the mouth, and aesthetic goals:
Same-Day Crowns
In the past, dental crowns could be a long process where you’d have to go to the dentist for many appointments. We know that your time is valuable, so we offer same-day crowns for your convenience.
With the Fastmill.io™ system, we can print your dental crown right in our office. This means we don’t have to send the scans of your mouth off to a lab and wait two weeks for it to arrive. You can leave our office with your new crown that’s matched to your teeth.
Living With Your New Crown
Caring for Your Dental Crown
Proper care will help your crown last for many years:
- Visit our office for regular checkups and cleanings.
- Brush and floss daily, paying attention to the gumline.
- Avoid chewing on ice or hard candies.
- Wear a nightguard if you grind your teeth.
How Long Do Dental Crowns Last?
On average, dental crowns last 10–15 years. With excellent oral hygiene, some can last decades. Factors like diet, bite alignment, and grinding habits can affect longevity — but with our high-quality materials and precise fit, you’ll enjoy lasting performance.
Dental Crowns vs. Other Restorations
- Fillings: Best for small cavities; crowns are needed when damage is extensive.
- Onlays/Inlays: Cover part of a tooth; crowns provide full coverage.
- Veneers: Cosmetic only, not suitable for severely damaged teeth.
A dental crown is often the most reliable way to restore both strength and appearance in one treatment.
