Fitting dental care into a busy schedule is not always easy. If you have ever been told you need a crown and immediately started worrying about scheduling multiple appointments, dealing with a temporary crown, and taking time off work, there is a more convenient option available.
Some dental concerns are easier to live with than others, like a chipped tooth, a worn filling, or mild sensitivity when you chew. But even these small signs can signal that your tooth needs extra support. In many cases, a custom dental crown is the best way to protect your tooth and keep your smile strong.
Have you ever hesitated to smile in photos or felt self-conscious about your teeth? You’re not alone. Many people wish they could fix minor imperfections, brighten their smile, or restore worn-down teeth. The good news is that a smile makeover can help you achieve the look you want while improving your overall dental health.
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.
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.
As we welcome the new year, it’s the perfect time to let go of the past and focus on the future and better oral health! If you have an unfinished treatment plan from last year, let us help you take that crucial step toward a healthier, happier you.

Taking care of your oral health is important, not just for your smile, but for your physical and mental well-being too. When a problem arises, like a cavity or a toothache, more often than not, you will need a restorative treatment to repair the damage, relieve the pain, and recover the full function of your smile. Restorative dental treatments are some of the most common procedures Dr. Peterson performs, but they are also some of the most important, because they are truly healing and transformative.
At James Peterson Family & Cosmetic Dentistry, we do all we can to restore your oral health and help you love your smile. We often see patients who are in need of a tooth replacement. We offer no judgment and want to find a solution that will be best for their needs and budget. We are more than happy to help you make your final decision.
When a patient experiences tooth loss, it can bring about a number of feelings. If you or a loved one has experienced this, you can definitely relate. No matter how you are feeling or the circumstances that caused you to lose your tooth, it is important to replace any missing teeth as soon as possible. Failure to do so can lead to significant problems with your oral health. The only teeth that do not need to be replaced are wisdom teeth and teeth that have been removed before orthodontic treatment. Read on to learn about the importance of replacing your missing tooth.
