Losing, breaking, or having a weakened tooth can significantly impact the functionality of your smile. At Stein Dental Care, Dr. Alan Stein specializes in crafting durable, natural-looking dental crowns, designed to provide the essential support and structure you need for a healthy, strong smile. When you need a dental crown to repair or a protect a tooth, our skilled dental team will provide the custom solution for you, offering top dental crown services in Nashville, TN and beyond.
What is a Dental Crown?
Dental crowns are custom-designed tooth "caps" that fit precisely over individual teeth, custom-crafted and shaded to look and feel natural. Dr. Stein pays close attention to detail when crafting each dental restoration, ensuring each dental crown not only fits perfectly but also seamlessly matches the color and contours of your existing smile.
A dental crown from Stein Dental Care can be the ideal solution for:
- Strengthening weakened teeth. By encasing a weakened tooth, a crown provides the structural integrity needed to chew confidently, protecting it from further damage or breakage under normal biting forces.
- Restoring broken or damaged teeth. Crowns can effectively hold together fractured teeth or rebuild teeth that have been chipped or cracked, restoring their natural form and function.
- Supporting teeth with large dental fillings. When a filling occupies a significant portion of a tooth, a crown can provide the necessary support to prevent the tooth from fracturing.
- Anchoring dental bridges. Crowns are essential components of dental bridges, providing stable support for the artificial teeth that fill the gaps left by missing teeth.
- Sealing dental implants or root canal treatment. A dental crown is the final restoration placed on a dental implant, creating a natural-looking and fully functional replacement tooth.
- Improving the shape, structure and appearance of misshapen teeth. Dental crowns can dramatically enhance the aesthetics of teeth with irregularities in shape or tooth discoloration.

At Stein Dental Care, we custom-craft our dental crown restorations from top materials including porcelain, Zirconia, ceramic, and porcelain fused to metal, to ensure you always have the best options for your smile.
Receiving Your Dental Crown
Receiving a dental crown or bridge at Stein Dental Care typically involves at least two appointments. At your first visit, you'll receive a comprehensive evaluation from Dr. Stein. He will examine your smile to assess their health and structure, and determine the ideal restorative treatment for you. If you decide on a dental crown, our dentist will prepare the affected tooth to ensure a perfect fit for your restoration. Our team will take ultra-precise impressions of your teeth and the surrounding structures, providing a blueprint for the creation of your new, permanent crown.
You'll return to our office to receive a temporary crown to protect your tooth until your permanent dental crown is ready for placement. When your custom-fabricated dental crown is complete, you'll return to our office. Dr. Stein will carefully remove the temporary restoration and meticulously check the fit, shape, and color of your permanent crown before securing it in place, using strong adhesives for a long-lasting fit.
