A chipped tooth from biting down on ice. A crack that appeared seemingly overnight. Worn enamel that’s making your smile look tired. Tooth damage happens to everyone, but it doesn’t have to stay that way. At Priority Dental, we understand that a damaged tooth can affect both your confidence and your oral health. The good news? Dental crowns offer a fast, long-lasting solution that can restore your smile in just one visit.
Treating tooth damage early prevents minor issues from becoming major problems. What starts as a small chip can lead to sensitivity, pain, or even infection if left untreated. That’s why acting quickly is so important for your dental health.
What Is a Dental Crown and How Does It Work?
A dental crown is essentially a custom-made “cap” that fits over your damaged tooth like a protective helmet. Think of it as giving your tooth a second chance at life. This restoration covers the entire visible portion of your tooth above the gum line, restoring both its strength and appearance.
Crowns work by encasing your natural tooth structure, which allows them to handle the daily demands of chewing and speaking. They’re incredibly versatile, too. Whether you have a cracked tooth that needs protection, a chipped tooth that needs covering, or you’ve just completed a root canal treatment, crowns provide the durability and natural look you’re seeking.
The crown becomes part of your smile, matching the color and shape of your surrounding teeth so seamlessly that no one will know it’s there. It’s like having your original tooth back, but stronger and more resilient than before.
Experience the Difference: CEREC Same-Day Crowns
Traditional crown procedures used to require multiple appointments, messy impressions, and weeks of waiting with a temporary crown. Not anymore. CEREC technology has revolutionized how we approach crown restorations at Priority Dental.
With CEREC same-day crowns, you can walk in with a damaged tooth and leave with a permanent, beautiful crown in just one visit—no more scheduling conflicts or taking multiple days off work. The entire process happens in our office while you wait.
The CEREC process starts with a digital scan of your tooth. This eliminates the need for those uncomfortable impression trays filled with goopy material. Next, our advanced software designs your custom crown, ensuring a perfect fit and natural appearance. Finally, our in-office milling machine crafts your crown from high-quality ceramic material, and we place it immediately.

Long-Term Benefits of Fixing Chips and Cracks
Addressing tooth damage with a crown provides benefits that extend far beyond appearance. Your chewing function improves dramatically, allowing you to enjoy all your favorite foods without worry. Speech clarity often improves as well, especially if the damaged tooth was affecting how you pronounce certain words.
The confidence boost that comes with a restored smile can’t be overstated. You’ll find yourself smiling more freely and feeling more comfortable in social and professional situations. Most importantly, fixing damage early prevents more serious dental issues like infections or complete tooth loss, saving you time, money, and discomfort down the road.
