Crowns and Caps

 When a tooth becomes damaged, breaks, or decays; the best way to preserve the rest of the tooth is with a dental crown also known as a cap. A dental crown is placed over the core of the tooth, preventing further damage, and preserving the look and function of a regular tooth.

Mankind has been making Dental crowns for millennia.  Crowns were traditionally made out of gold.  Many people still prefer gold crowns because they generally do not break but instead, they bend.  Another benefit of gold crowns is that they leave more tooth underneath.  Another type of material commonly used is Zirconia.  Zirconia is a type of metal oxide that has a hardness comparable to diamond.  The biggest benefit of zirconia is its strength and durability.

Doctor Strobel uses local labs to fabricate his crowns.  Lab-created crowns are handmade by experts, meaning you can count on them to be high quality.  The benefits of a lab-created crowns are the ability to choose from a variety of crown materials, customization for each patient, and the crown can be made to look more natural and match the rest of the teeth.  Doctor Strobel gives his crowns a personal guarantee of 5 years.  Try out our crowns
