Dental Crowns Brighton
What Are Dental Crowns?
Crowns help when:
- Your tooth has a large cavity that’s too big for a filling
- You’ve had a root canal
- Your tooth is cracked or broken
- You want to improve how a tooth looks
Why Choose Mountain View Family Dental for Dental Crowns Brighton?
Our Brighton dental office serves families throughout Adams County. We know that getting a crown can feel overwhelming, so we take time to explain everything step by step.
Dr. John Schmidt and our team have years of experience creating crowns that fit perfectly and look natural. We use the latest technology to make sure your crown feels comfortable from day one.
What Makes Us Different
We focus on making your visit as comfortable as possible. Many patients tell us they were surprised how easy the process was. We work with your schedule and explain all your options before we start.
Our Brighton location makes it easy for families in Commerce City, Thornton, and Westminster to get the dental care they need. We accept most insurance plans and offer payment options that work for your budget.
The Crown Process: Simple and Straightforward
Getting a crown usually takes two visits to our Brighton office:
First Visit: We prepare your tooth and take impressions. You’ll get a temporary crown to protect your tooth while we make your permanent one.
Second Visit: We remove the temporary crown and place your custom-made permanent crown. We make sure it fits perfectly and feels comfortable when you bite down.
Same-Day Crowns Available We offer same-day crowns using advanced CEREC technology right here in our Brighton office. This means you can get a permanent crown in just one visit – no temporary crown needed and no waiting weeks for your final restoration.
Our same-day crowns are made from high-quality ceramic and are designed and milled in our office while you wait. The process takes about 2-3 hours from start to finish. You’ll leave with your permanent crown the same day, which is perfect for busy schedules or if you don’t want to deal with a temporary crown.
Same-day crowns work well for most situations, though some complex cases may still benefit from traditional lab-made crowns. We’ll discuss which option gives you the best results based on your specific needs.
Types of Crowns We Offer
Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal These combine strength with good looks. The metal base provides durability while the porcelain top looks natural.
Metal Crowns Usually made from gold or other strong metals. These last the longest and work well for back teeth where strength matters most.
Caring for Your New Crown
- Brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste
- Floss around the crown every day
- Come in for regular checkups and cleanings
- Avoid chewing on hard objects like ice or pens
- With good care, most crowns last 10-15 years or longer.
Common Questions About Dental Crowns Brighton
Will it hurt?
We use local anesthesia so you won’t feel pain during the procedure. Some people have mild sensitivity afterward, but this usually goes away quickly.
How long does it take?
The actual procedure takes about 1-2 hours per visit. Most people need two visits spaced about 2-3 weeks apart.
What if I don't get a crown?
Without a crown, a damaged tooth can break further, get infected, or need to be removed. A crown protects what’s left of your natural tooth.
Will people notice my crown?
Modern crowns look so natural that most people can’t tell the difference between a crown and your real teeth.
Brighton Community Dental Care
