Dental crowns are a versatile treatment with restorative and cosmetic applications. At James Peterson Family & Cosmetic Dentistry, we use crowns to strengthen teeth that are too damaged or weak for a filling and cover discolored, broken, cracked, or worn teeth. Crowns are strong, durable, and functional, but that’s not all. Since many people have never had a crown before, let’s answer some common questions about them to raise awareness about this tooth-saving treatment.

Did you know that a dentist who is out-of-network with your dental insurance provider can still give you the care you need? What’s more, an out-of-network dentist has unrestricted access to the highest-quality materials and the latest techniques to better serve your interests. That’s because an insurance company is not dictating what they can do for you. In other words, you shouldn’t discount our dental practice just because we are not an in-network provider with your dental insurance plan.
You may be surprised to learn that some people only go to the dentist when it’s an emergency.

It’s common for people to joke about how much they dislike going to the dentist. We don’t take it personally, though, because we know that for many patients, it’s no laughing matter. For these patients, fear, anxiety, and past bad experiences are keeping them from getting needed care. That is why our entire staff makes a concerted effort to create the most welcoming, calming, and positive atmosphere possible for every patient. For those who may need a little extra assistance, we offer sedation. Sedation dentistry helps patients who would otherwise avoid the dentist get essential oral healthcare.

We use amazing dental technology at our office, from digital X-rays to 3D printing. A technology that we are particularly proud of is Smile Design, a digital process that lets us design a patient’s dream smile and show them the results of their treatment before they even begin. Not only does Smile Design create a preview of the completed smile transformation, but it also illustrates every step of treatment, giving the patient complete confidence that their treatment plan will give them the results they desire.
