High-Quality Crowns for Long-Lasting Results
At Danos Dental, we understand the importance of a healthy, complete smile. When decay, fracture, or other issues significantly damage a tooth, a dental crown offers a strong, aesthetically pleasing solution. A crown, often called a “cap,” is a custom-crafted covering that encases the entire visible tooth surface. This restoration effectively returns the tooth to its original shape, size, and function, providing essential protection and reinforcement that fillings or simpler treatments cannot.
While various materials are available for crafting dental crowns, porcelain or tooth-colored crowns are a popular choice because they blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. These durable restorations are designed to withstand the daily stresses of chewing and biting and can last for many years. However, like all dental restorations, they may eventually need to be replaced. Our skilled dental team at Danos Dental will meticulously match the shade, shape, and size of your custom crown to your surrounding teeth, ensuring a natural-looking and long-lasting enhancement to your smile.

Dental Crowns from Danos Dental
Danos Dental offers a selection of high-quality dental crowns in Murfreesboro, TN, crafted from different materials to address the needs of every smile, including:
Porcelain Dental Crowns
Porcelain crowns offer exceptional aesthetics and a very natural, tooth-like appearance. They are an excellent choice for crowns on the front teeth and other obvious areas of the mouth, designed to blend seamlessly with your beautiful smile.
Ceramic Dental Crowns
Similar to all-porcelain crowns, all-ceramic options are metal-free and biocompatible. They offer excellent aesthetics and strength, making them suitable for both front and back teeth.
Metal Porcelain Dental Crowns
Metal-porcelain dental crowns feature a metal substructure for strength and durability, with porcelain applied for a natural tooth-colored appearance. PFMs offer a good balance of strength and aesthetics and have been a reliable restorative option for many years.
Zirconia Dental Crowns
Zirconia is a strong and durable ceramic material that offers excellent aesthetics. Zirconia crowns are known for their strength and resistance to chipping and staining, making them a suitable choice for both front and back teeth.
BruxZir® Dental Crowns
BruxZir is a specific type of solid zirconia known for its exceptional strength and durability. While highly robust, newer formulations of BruxZir also offer improved translucency, making them a viable option even for some visible teeth where strength is a primary concern.
The Dental Crown Procedure at Danos Dental
During your restorative dentistry consultation at our Murfreesboro office, Dr. Danos will discuss the advantages of each crown material and recommend the best option based on your specific clinical needs, the tooth’s location in your mouth, and your aesthetic goals.
The process of receiving a dental crown typically involves two visits to our office. At your first visit, our team will use advanced technologies to take precise molds (impressions) of your tooth and the surrounding teeth. These detailed impressions will help create your custom-fitted dental crown. An additional mold will help fabricate a temporary crown.
Dr. Danos will carefully prepare your tooth by removing any decay or damage and shaping the remaining tooth structure to ensure a proper fit for the crown. He will then place a temporary crown using temporary cement to protect your tooth while your permanent crown restoration is being custom-crafted for you! We’ll ensure everything is in place for your crown, including assessing your bite for proper alignment with the temporary crown.
At your second appointment, we will remove your temporary crown and place your new, custom-fabricated crown. Dr. Danos will ensure the crown fits precisely, the spacing is accurate, and your bite is correct before permanently cementing it to your tooth. After getting your permanent crown, you’ll receive detailed care instructions to help you maintain your new restoration for years to come. We encourage you to attend regular dental check-ups at our Murfreesboro office to ensure the continued health and function of your new crown!
