Custom Dental Crowns in Tavares

Restore Tooth Strength, Protect Damaged Enamel, and Renew Your Smile

When a tooth becomes severely decayed, cracked, or structurally weakened, a standard filling may not offer enough protection. A dental crown, often called a tooth cap, covers the entire visible portion of a compromised tooth down to the gumline. This full coverage restoration restores full chewing power, protects against future fractures, and blends seamlessly with your natural smile.

At Lakeview Comprehensive Dentistry, we combine advanced digital imaging with our state of the art in-house dental laboratory to craft high quality zirconia crowns. Through direct collaboration between our doctor and lab technicians, we deliver custom restorations that offer superior

The Advantage of In-House Crown Fabrication 

Direct Doctor and Lab Collaboration

Because our advanced dental laboratory is located directly inside our practice, our clinical team works face-to-face with our lab technicians. We evaluate your unique bite dynamics, tooth shades, and smile symmetry together, eliminating the miscommunications common with distant third party labs.

Digital 3D Impressions

Say goodbye to uncomfortable, messy putty trays. We capture precise 3D digital scans of your prepared tooth. These digital files are transferred instantly to our in-house laboratory team, ensuring exceptional marginal accuracy and a snug, comfortable fit.

Superior Material Choices

Built for heavy duty performance, zirconia is an ultra-strong material designed to handle maximum biting forces. It offers ultimate fracture protection for back molars while maintaining a clean, natural, tooth-colored appearance. 

When Is a Dental Crown Recommended?

A dental crown provides essential structural support for a variety of restorative and cosmetic needs:

  1. Severely Decayed Teeth: Rebuilding teeth with large cavities that exceed the support capacity of a standard filling.

  2. Cracked or Fractured Teeth: Holding together compromised enamel segments to prevent further cracking and pain.

  3. Post-Root Canal Protection: Shielding teeth that have undergone root canal therapy from becoming brittle and fracturing.

  4. Advanced Enamel Wear: Restoring height and chewing surface to teeth flattened by chronic grinding.

  5. Dental Implant Restoration: Serving as the durable, natural-looking replacement tooth attached to an abuted implant.

  6. Cosmetic Improvements: Encasing heavily discolored or misshapen teeth to create a uniform, attractive smile.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Crowns

With proper oral hygiene and regular professional cleanings, a high quality dental crown typically lasts between ten and fifteen years, and often much longer. Avoiding habits like chewing ice or using your teeth as tools will maximize the lifespan of your crown.

No. We thoroughly numb the tooth and surrounding gum tissue with local anesthesia before starting any preparation work. Any mild post-visit sensitivity resolves quickly within a few days.

You care for a crown just like a natural tooth. Brush twice daily, floss daily around the base of the crown to keep surrounding gums healthy, and maintain routine checkups so we can monitor your restoration.

A veneer is an ultra-thin ceramic shell bonded only to the front surface of a tooth, making it ideal for cosmetic updates like correcting minor chips, gaps, or deep discoloration. A crown encases the entire tooth down to the gumline, providing full 360-degree strength and protection for teeth that are severely decayed, cracked, or structurally compromised.
