Incredible Benefits
Quick Procedure
While getting a dental crown used to be more of a hassle, our Salt Lake City patients can enjoy the most efficient treatment in modern dentistry. Thanks to cutting-edge CEREC® technology, we can craft a custom crown in about an hour and complete your procedure in just one easy appointment.
Instant Relief
A decayed or infected tooth can cause painful complications that make it difficult to eat and speak normally. Before we place your dental crown, we will gently remove any damaged or decayed tissue. We can also perform a root canal to remove the infected pulp at the center of the tooth, alleviating uncomfortable symptoms.
Stunning Results
Dental crowns have both cosmetic and restorative benefits. In addition to repairing structural damage, they also correct cosmetic flaws like cracks and discoloration. The finished product will be a beautiful, healthy-looking tooth that is protected for years to come.
Take a Look At The Dental Crown Procedure
After removing the decayed and infected portions of your tooth, your dentist will attach a custom crown made from natural-looking porcelain.

While you may notice symptoms of a tooth problem, it is nearly impossible to know what kind of treatment you need without first seeing a dentist. Before we do anything, we will provide a thorough examination to properly diagnose your dental condition.
In cases of minor cracks or small cavities, we may be able to repair your tooth with conservative treatment like a dental filling; however, extensive decay and structural damage will likely need a dental crown to give your tooth adequate reinforcement.
Dr. Delahunty will only recommend a dental procedure you need, and he will be happy to discuss all of your options in detail.
Will I Have to Wait a Long Time For a New Crown?
Many patients share this same worry, and at our practice, the answer is no! While temporary crowns can be a helpful option if you are undergoing treatment with implants and crowns, our dentistry practice offers an advanced solution for traditional crown patients: same-day crowns.
We can use our high-tech CEREC machine and lifelike porcelain materials to create a custom crown in one visit to our office. You won't have to wear a temporary crown for several weeks as you wait for a permanent one.
The Convenience of CEREC Crowns What To Expect During Same-Day Treatment
If you qualify for a CEREC crown, we can complete your treatment in a single appointment at our Salt Lake City practice. Your treatment will involve several steps:
We can restore your tooth with a lifelike porcelain crown in just one office visit.
How Long Do Dental Crowns Last?
Generally, a permanent dental crown can last for as long as 15 years. Our high-quality porcelain dental crowns are designed to be durable and resistant to staining.
You can help improve the longevity of your crown by brushing and flossing properly and limiting your consumption of hard or sticky foods. Visiting your dentist for regular dental checkups can also help ensure that your crown stays strong and your smile stays healthy.

Alternative Treatment Options
While CEREC crowns are the fastest treatment option, they may not be right for all patients. Fortunately, our Salt Lake City dental practice offers alternative options to best meet your specific needs.
Lab-Made Dental Crowns
Traditional dental crowns are crafted in a lab by specially trained technicians. The advantage of lab-made crowns is they can be produced from a wide range of materials, such as zirconia, porcelain, porcelain fused to metal, or gold. Some people find that porcelain is the most natural-looking option and prefer this type of crown when treating a highly visible front tooth. Since these restorations are handcrafted offsite, it can take about two weeks for the finished product to arrive at our office. After preparing your tooth, we will place a temporary crown to protect it while you wait. Once it is ready, you can return to our office to replace the temporary crown with the permanent crown, completing your treatment.
Implant-Supported Crowns
While we will always attempt to save your natural teeth before turning to extractions, but in some cases, a compromised tooth will simply be beyond repair. However, tooth extraction doesn't mean you have to live with a gap in your smile forever. Thanks to state-of-the-art dental implants, we can restore missing teeth more effectively than ever before. A dental implant is a small titanium post inserted in the jaw to replace your missing tooth roots. Implants stimulate your jawbone and help to prevent the degradation of your oral structures. Furthermore, the implant becomes a permanent foundation for a dental prosthetic, allowing us to secure a crown without altering the surrounding healthy teeth.
Dental Bridges
If dental implants are not right for you, our Salt Lake City practice also offers dental bridges to replace one tooth or several. While bridges do not provide the same oral health benefits as dental implants, they are less invasive and less expensive, making them a good choice for some patients. A traditional dental bridge consists of a prosthetic tooth (or teeth) that is supported by a dental crown on both ends. The crowns are attached to the natural teeth adjacent to the gap, securing the prosthetic in the proper position in your dental arch.
Implant-Supported Crowns Offer Long-Lasting Results and a Natural Appearance
As you can see, an implant-supported crown is a subtle yet effective option that can replace your tooth after it has been removed or lost. Implants provide a stable foundation for crowns, and our lifelike porcelain and ceramic materials will make your custom crowns look just like the rest of your teeth.
