View on GoogleA Smile Restored with Dental Crowns
With this dental transformation, our team was able to address multiple issues affecting this patient's smile. Notice how carefully placed porcelain crowns help address minor misalignments and spacing problems as well as dental stains and discoloration. The final results are dramatic yet natural-looking. You can expect this kind of quality at our dental offices in Jackson, Dyersburg, Germantown, Eads, and Trenton, TN.
Types of Dental Crowns We Offer In Germantown, Jackson, and All Our Other Locations
Porcelain
A tooth restoration made from this strong, high-quality ceramic material can be customized to match the shade of your surrounding teeth better than other kinds of dental crowns, maintaining your smile's natural look. They are an excellent choice to replace highly visible front teeth.
Zirconia
This super-strong material is known for its damage-resistant properties. Crowns and dental bridges made of zirconia are an excellent choice to repair back teeth, which do a lot of grinding and chewing. Zirconia can withstand more than 300 times the force of the average human bite. Additionally, ultra-durable zirconia can be crafted to look virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth.
IPS e.max®
This state-of-the-art material is constructed from pressed ceramic layers and is considered by some dentists to be even stronger and more lifelike than porcelain or zirconia. The e.max restoration reflects light like a natural tooth and is extremely chip-resistant. Plus, IPS e.max is metal-free, which is good for patients with metal allergies.
Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal
These durable dental crowns have a metal interior that's covered with a porcelain coating, which allows the shade to be customized to match your natural teeth. They are considered strong choices for front and back teeth. However, it is possible that a dark line where the metal interior meets your gum line will be visible.
Ready to Improve Your Smile?
No matter what kind of dental crown you choose, your bite function and smile can be dramatically improved once new crowns are secured over damaged teeth. Why live with mouth pain, a compromised smile, chewing issues, and difficulty speaking? Send a message to our dentists in Jackson, Dyersburg, Germantown, Eads, and Trenton, TN, or give us a call.

I had a small cavity between my front two teeth which immediately had me thinking that you would be able to tell that there was a filling. I was so nervous and like always they were reassuring and calming during my visit... I left without that cavity and you cannot even tell!!! I am very very happy with my latest visit. They are awesome!

How Much Do Crowns Cost?
Your final dental crown cost will depend on the type and number of caps you need, as well as the kind of preparatory treatment your Elite Dental Care doctor recommends. We accept many dental insurance plans, and most policies will contribute to at least some of the cost of your crown as well as related procedures like root canal therapy. Our knowledgeable staff will do everything they can to secure maximum coverage.
What If I Don't Have Insurance?
If you don't have insurance or can't immediately afford out-of-pocket costs not covered by insurance, we offer CareCredit financing to patients who qualify. We believe no one in Jackson, Dyersburg, Trenton, Germantown, Eads or their surrounding communities should be denied superior dental care because of budget limitations. Our friendly staff will happily go over your insurance and financing options to keep your treatment affordable.

All our dentists are highly trained in placing dental crowns so you can feel confident you'll receive elite care whether you are in Jackson or any other of our locations throughout Western Tennessee.

Caring for Your Dental Crowns Why Proper Aftercare Matters
On average, crowns can last 10 years or longer before they need to be replaced. Good aftercare can extend the lifespan of your dental crown. Here are a few things patients can do to make their restorations last as long as possible.
Good Oral Hygiene
Crown materials don't decay, but these restorations should be kept clean to prevent damage to your natural teeth and gums. Patients should brush their teeth at least twice a day and floss their teeth at least once a day. This helps remove food particles and plaque.
Brush the Right Way
Dental crowns are strong, but they can be damaged over time if they are not cared for properly. That's why good dental hygiene for crowns will require the right toothbrush and toothpaste. Be sure to use a soft-bristled toothbrush and non-abrasive gel toothpaste.
Avoid Bad Habits
Crown materials can chip and crack just like your natural teeth. You can avoid accidental fractures by identifying and stopping certain bad habits. These include nail biting, opening packages with your teeth, chewing on straws or pen caps, and chomping on ice cubes.
Protect Your Smile
Another way to avoid fractures is to wear mouth, face, and head protection when advisable. Consider an athletic mouth guard if you play any sports. You can also wear face shields, helmets, and other protective gear for your job or other potentially dangerous tasks.
Visit Your Dentist Regularly
Routine cleanings, exams, and dental visits every six months can extend the life of your dental crowns. In addition to fighting cavities and gum disease, our dentists can note damage to your crowns and make suggestions on when restorations need replacement.

I Have Missing Teeth Tell Me More about Implant-Supported Crowns
What are dental implants?
Dental implants are strong titanium posts that are surgically implanted into the jawbone. Each post acts like replacement tooth roots and supports a dental crown, denture, or dental bridge.
How long does it take to receive an implant-supported crown?
Two surgeries and healing periods over four to six months are required for this treatment, but many patients agree it is worth the investment of both time and money to improve their oral health, appearance, and quality of life.

This place is absolutely amazing. I was referred here by a friend 5 or 6 years ago. Since then I've had root canals, several fillings, and most recently 8 awesome looking crowns on my top teeth. Everyone who works there is always super nice , and they go out of their way to make sure I'm comfortable and feel no pain. I can't say enough .

I have been seeing Elite dental care for all my dental work for about 7 yrs. Dr Harper has been my dr all the time I’ve been there. All the ladies are very professional and helpful for all my questions. Dr Harper is now in the process of my second implant. I can’t imagine trusting my smile to anyone else...
