Exploring the Benefits of Dental Crowns
If you suffer from pain and other symptoms of a compromised tooth, the team at our dental office in Sun City West, AZ, has everything needed to provide you with relief and restore your smile. Here are some of the most notable advantages of dental crowns:
Restored Function
Infected, damaged teeth can make your day-to-day life challenging and uncomfortable. A dental crown restores your dental function, letting you eat all of your favorite foods again and speak with clarity.
Added Protection
A weakened tooth is susceptible to further damage, such as chipping or cracking. A dental crown provides additional support for the natural tooth structure, preventing the need for extraction.
Improved Aesthetics
Decay or trauma can cause a tooth to appear dark or discolored, taking a cosmetic toll in addition to putting your oral health at risk. Our dentists can color-match your new crown to your surrounding teeth.
Every Detail Counts
With Our Dental Crowns
Our zirconia dental crowns are strong and lifelike, offering results that last. We choose to send our measurements to a trusted lab, where your high-quality crown will be created. For a beautiful final touch, each dental crown is completed using hand-finishing.

Dedicated to Excellent Materials: We Choose Zirconia Over Porcelain for a Reason
Why do Dr. Culver and Dr. Cooper use zirconia crowns, as opposed to porcelain ones? Simple — restorations made from zirconia are:
Stronger
Chewing exerts a huge amount of force, and so does teeth grinding — a common reason why patients need dental crowns. Zirconia restorations are far stronger than porcelain ones, making them an excellent choice.
More Conservative
After breakage or decay, we want to preserve as much of your natural tooth as possible. Zirconia crowns do just that, since their thin but tough material allows us to shave away less of your tooth than we would for a porcelain restoration.
Natural-Looking
Both zirconia and porcelain crowns are beautiful and natural-looking. However, their strength and easier placement are what help zirconia crowns stand out compared to porcelain crowns.
Paying for Your Dental Crown
We believe financial hurdles shouldn’t stand in the way of getting the dental care you need. Our Sun City West, AZ, dentistry practice offers several ways to pay for your treatment:
Dental Insurance
Crowns are often necessary to protect the health and structure of your tooth. That means most kinds of dental insurance will cover a percentage of the cost.
Cash, Check, or Credit
You're also welcome to pay for dental treatment using cash, checks, or major credit cards like Visa, American Express, or Discover.
CareCredit Financing
Have additional costs not covered by dental insurance, like implant placement? Our dental team accepts low-interest financing from CareCredit®.
Looking for a More Comprehensive Solution? We've Got You Covered
Dental crowns are a great choice if you want to improve the condition of a compromised tooth. However, if you’re looking to further rejuvenate your smile, we have a range of restorative and cosmetic dentistry solutions available.

Replace Your Missing Tooth
With an Implant-Supported Dental Crown
Your dentist can pair a dental implant with a dental crown to replace a single missing tooth. The dental implant replaces missing tooth roots to stimulate the jaw and prevent jawbone atrophy. Implants protect your bone health while restoring oral function and enabling you to speak and eat properly once again.
How Does Crown Placement Work?
If you need help with a damaged tooth or teeth, Dr. Culver and Dr. Cooper are here. Crown treatment at our Sun City West, AZ, dentistry practice will look something like this.
Lost a tooth? Need an extraction? You could be eligible for an implant-supported dental crown. Though healing takes 3-6 months, implants can last a lifetime.
Is It Time To Replace
Your Existing Dental Crown?
While high-quality dental crowns are designed to last, there will come a time when you’ll need a replacement. Here are some signs your dental crown may be failing:
Noticeable Wear and Tear
A fracture is one of the most common reasons for replacement. If your crown is fractured, you may see visible damage, such as chips or cracks.
Loose Crown
This indicates the bonding material used to attach the dental crown to your teeth is weakened. With further use, your crown could become dislodged and fall off.
Pain or Swelling
This can indicate a faulty crown or improper placement. It may also be a warning sign of an infection.
Diminished Aesthetics
There may be a difference in color between your dental crown and the surrounding teeth. Those with porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) crowns may notice dark edges along the gum line, as well.
Whether your current dental crown is not adequately protecting your tooth or negatively impacts the aesthetics of your smile, get in touch with us today to talk about your treatment options.
