Why Choose Us for Dental Crowns in St. Louis?
Dental crowns are not just about restoring a tooth. They are about restoring your confidence, comfort, and overall dental health. At Smile On Dental Studio, every crown we design is customized to your bite, your smile, and your goals. Why do patients choose our dentist in St. Louis, MO, to help them restore their smile with a dental crown?
Who Is a Candidate for Dental Crowns?
Dental crowns can address a wide range of dental needs, from cosmetic improvements to essential restorative care. Our dentist in St. Louis may recommend a crown to:
- Protect a tooth that is cracked, weakened, or worn down
- Restore the natural appearance of a tooth that is discolored or misshapen
- Complete a dental implant with a custom restoration
- Strengthen a tooth after root canal therapy
- Replace an older crown with a more natural-looking option
Because our crowns are designed with both appearance and function in mind, they are an excellent choice for patients who want their smile to look as good as it feels. During your consultation, Dr. Hill or Dr. Pavlak-Hawkins will carefully evaluate your teeth, bite, and goals to determine if a dental crown is right for you.

Whether you need to protect a weakened tooth, complete a dental implant, or enhance your appearance with a cosmetic upgrade, we can create a customized solution that fits your needs.

Dental Crowns: Protection Meets Aesthetics
A dental crown is a custom-made restoration that fully covers a damaged or weakened tooth. Often called a “cap,” it restores strength, protects the natural tooth structure, and enhances appearance. Each crown is designed to blend with the surrounding teeth so it looks and feels completely natural. Because they are so versatile, dental crowns can be used to:
- Protect teeth that are cracked, worn, or weakened
- Restore strength after root canal therapy
- Improve the appearance of discolored or misshapen teeth
- Replace older crowns that no longer fit or look natural
- Complete a dental implant with a custom restoration
- Hold a dental bridge securely in place
Relax With Sedation Dentistry
We understand that many patients put off treatment because of nerves or past experiences. If you feel anxious about getting a crown, our St. Louis office offers sedation dentistry to help you stay calm and comfortable throughout your visit.
Sedation options can range from mild relaxation to deeper states of calm, depending on your needs. With this support, patients often find that their appointments feel shorter and more manageable, allowing them to receive the care they need without added stress.
Your comfort matters as much as your results. Whether you are receiving a crown or another treatment, sedation can make your experience smooth, stress-free, and positive.
Dental Crowns FAQs
How long does it take to get a crown?
In most cases, receiving a dental crown requires two visits. At the first appointment, the tooth is prepared, and impressions are taken. The final crown is placed at a second visit once it has been crafted to fit your bite and match your smile.
What materials are crowns made from?
Crowns can be made from porcelain, ceramic, metal, or a combination of materials. Many patients in St. Louis choose all-ceramic crowns for their lifelike appearance, while others may benefit from metal or porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns for added durability.
How do I care for a dental crown?
Caring for a crown is much like caring for your natural teeth. Brushing, flossing, and regular dental checkups will help maintain both the crown and the tooth underneath.
Can a crown be replaced?
Yes. If a crown becomes worn, loose, or no longer matches your natural teeth, it can be replaced with a new restoration designed to improve both function and appearance.
Are crowns different from onlays or inlays?
Yes. While crowns cover the entire tooth, inlays and onlays only restore part of the chewing surface. Your dentist will recommend the most appropriate option based on the extent of damage.
