The use of high quality materials is critical to crafting beautiful and natural-looking crowns. We have access to all of the best materials, including e-max, empress, zirconia, and porcelain.

Restore Your Tooth With A Dental Crown
The dental crown procedure is a fairly simple, straightforward practice that our dentists can seamlessly perform at our Knoxville office. During the crown procedure, your natural tooth is reshaped to fit the crown, like a puzzle piece connecting.
A dental crown can cap a tooth that's been damaged by trauma or decay. Drs. Ruth Bailey and Kasey Sliger can evaluate the condition of your tooth to determine if it's the best restorative option. Some patients may benefit from a biomimetic restoration if they have enough healthy tooth structure remaining.

She was quick to respond to urgency for immediate response. Was able to access plan for additional counciltation and set me up with a Endodontist. She gave me a discount on the permanent crown. Most important, she saved my existing teeth rather than pull all the uppers and replace them with denturs. Also all of her staff are gracious and knowledgeable. I give Dr. Bailey and her staff a 10

If you are missing a single tooth, a dental crown can be secured to a dental implant to restore your smile. This process involves the surgical placement of a dental implant, which takes the place of the tooth root as the bone and tissues grow around it during the healing phase.
Once the healing, or osseointegration, phase is complete (which takes three to six months), an abutment can be attached to the implant. Once the gums around the abutment have healed (which takes about two weeks), a custom crown can be secured to the abutment and implant, completing the patient's smile.
How Long Do Dental Crowns Last?
Dental crowns can last 15 years or more with proper care. In addition to improving your chewing ability and comfort, the porcelain material looks incredibly natural. However, it is important that patients practice good oral aftercare to keep the crown in good condition for as long as possible. The team at Cosmetic Dentistry of Knoxville recommend the following aftercare tips to keep your crown and oral health in good shape:
Brush twice a day
Floss daily
Visit the dentist at least every six months for professional exams and cleanings
Curb bad dental habits, such as chewing on hard, inedible items or using the teeth as tools
Avoid eating extremely hard or sticky foods
