Cosmetic Dental Crowns in Tuscaloosa, AL

What Are Cosmetic Dental Crowns?

A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap that covers and protects a tooth that's been weakened, broken, or heavily filled. Cosmetic crowns go beyond function—they’re color-matched and shaped to enhance your smile’s appearance while restoring strength and durability.

At Rhodes & Rhodes, we offer:

• Porcelain Crowns – Highly aesthetic, stain-resistant, and ideal for front teeth
  
• Ceramic Crowns – Strong, metal-free, and great for restoring both front and back teeth with natural-looking results
  

Whether you need a single tooth restored or are completing a full smile makeover, our crowns are designed to blend beautifully with your existing teeth.

When Is a Crown the Best Choice?

You may be a good candidate for a cosmetic crown if you have:

• A broken, chipped, or cracked tooth
  
• A misshapen or discolored tooth
  
• A worn or failing filling
  
• A tooth treated with root canal therapy
  
• A dental implant needing a natural-looking top
  
• Teeth involved in a smile makeover
  

We’ll evaluate your smile and recommend the right material and placement for the best aesthetic and functional result.

Our Cosmetic Crown Process

Your crown process typically includes two visits:

1. Consultation & Prep
   We’ll examine your tooth, take digital impressions, and gently prepare the area by shaping the tooth and removing any damaged material.
   
2. Custom Crafting & Placement
   Your crown is crafted by a top-tier dental lab using porcelain or ceramic materials. Once it’s ready, we’ll bond it securely in place, adjust your bite, and make sure it looks and feels perfect.
   

In the meantime, a temporary crown will protect your tooth while your final crown is being made.

Porcelain vs. Ceramic Crowns

Both options offer beautiful, lifelike results—here’s how they compare:

• Porcelain Crowns
  
  • Best for front teeth
    
  • Reflect light like natural enamel
    
  • Stain-resistant and highly aesthetic
    
• Ceramic Crowns
  
  • Stronger for biting and chewing
    
  • Ideal for back teeth or multi-tooth restorations
    
  • 100% metal-free and biocompatible
    

We’ll help you choose the best option based on your tooth location, cosmetic goals, and bite strength.

Caring for Your New Crown

With proper care, your ceramic or porcelain crown can last 10–15 years or longer. Maintain your crown with:

• Daily brushing and flossing
  
• Avoiding hard or sticky foods
  
• Regular cleanings and exams
  
• A nightguard if you grind or clench your teeth
  

At each visit, we’ll check the integrity and fit of your crown to make sure it’s functioning beautifully.
