Smiles by Myles offers custom dental crowns for patients who want to restore damaged, decayed, worn, deeply stained, or weakened teeth with a result that looks natural and functions comfortably. A crown is a tooth-shaped “cap” that fully covers a prepared tooth to rebuild strength, protect vulnerable structure, and improve the tooth’s shape and appearance. Because a compromised tooth can affect chewing and speaking, crowns are designed to help you feel confident using your teeth again while blending seamlessly with your smile through careful shade matching.
Your treatment begins with a consultation to evaluate your needs and confirm the best approach. For comfort, local anesthetic is used, and oral sedation is available for patients who feel anxious in the dental chair. Dr. Wayne Myles then prepares the tooth by removing damaged tissue and shaping it to fit a crown, takes detailed impressions, and places a temporary crown so you can maintain function while your custom restoration is fabricated. After a short turnaround, you return to have the permanent crown bonded in place.
Dental crowns can also be used to replace missing teeth when paired with a dental implant. Implant placement is performed by a trusted oral surgeon, and Dr. Myles completes the crown once healing is complete. With good home care and regular checkups, crowns can last many years.
