Dental Crowns in Las Vegas
Restore Your Smile's Strength and Beauty
Your smile is a precious asset, reflecting your health, confidence, and vitality. But when your teeth are damaged, decayed, or weakened, that asset can lose its luster.
At Dental Implant Institute in Las Vegas, we specialize in restoring and enhancing your smile with state-of-the-art dental crowns. Our team of dental care experts is committed to helping you reclaim the strength, function, and beauty of your natural teeth.
Dental crowns can address a variety of dental issues:
Protecting Weak Teeth
Crowns can hold together parts of a cracked tooth or support a tooth with a large filling.
After Root Canal Treatment
Crowns protect and restore functionality to a tooth after a root canal.
Restoring Broken Teeth
A crown can restore a severely worn down or broken tooth.
Covering Dental Implants
Crowns are the visible, functional part of a dental implant.
Improving Appearance
Crowns can cover misshapen or severely discolored teeth.
Supporting Dental Bridges
Crowns can anchor a dental bridge in place.
The Science of Dental Crowns
When Do You Need a Dental Crown?
If you’re experiencing any of these issues, don’t wait. Early intervention with a dental crown can prevent further damage and more extensive treatments down the road.
Understanding Dental Crowns
Dental crowns are custom-made caps that fit over your existing teeth or dental implants. They’re designed to restore a tooth’s shape, size, strength, and appearance. At Dental Implant Institute, we offer a range of crown options to suit your individual needs:
Porcelain Crowns
Our most popular option, porcelain crowns offer a natural look that seamlessly blends with your existing teeth. They're durable, stain-resistant, and ideal for visible front teeth.
Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal Crowns
These crowns combine the strength of a metal base with the natural appearance of porcelain. They're an excellent choice for back teeth.
Zirconia Crowns
Made from a strong, durable ceramic, zirconia crowns offer exceptional strength and a natural appearance. They're ideal for patients with metal sensitivities.
Gold Crowns
While less common for visible teeth, gold crowns are incredibly durable and require less tooth structure to be removed. They're an excellent option for back molars.
Invest in Your Oral Health
A dental crown is more than just a cosmetic solution—it’s an investment in your oral health and overall well-being. With proper care, your dental crown can last for many years, providing you with:
- Restored tooth function and strength
- Enhanced smile aesthetics
- Improved ability to eat and speak comfortably
- Protection against further tooth damage
- Boosted confidence in your smile

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do dental crowns last?
With proper care and maintenance, dental crowns can last 10 to 15 years or even longer. Regular dental check-ups and good oral hygiene habits can help extend the life of your crown.
How do I care for my dental crown?
Caring for your dental crown is similar to caring for your natural teeth. Brush twice daily, floss regularly, and visit us for regular check-ups and cleanings. Avoid biting on hard objects or using your teeth as tools to prevent damage to your crown.
