Custom Dental Crowns in Marietta, GA

A damaged or weakened tooth can compromise your entire smile, affecting everything from your ability to eat comfortably to your confidence in social situations. When a tooth has been severely decayed, cracked, or worn down, a dental crown offers a transformative solution that restores both function and aesthetics, allowing you to reclaim the full strength and beauty of your natural smile.

At Kabani Dental, Dr. Shaila Kabani combines over 20 years of practice experience with advanced CAD-CAM technology to deliver custom dental crowns that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. Our Marietta practice specializes in comprehensive general dentistry solutions that prioritize long-term oral health while creating results that look and feel completely natural. Through same-day crown capabilities and meticulous attention to detail, we partner with patients to restore their smiles with precision and care.

Understanding Dental Crowns and Their Purpose

Dental crowns are custom-fabricated caps that completely cover a damaged tooth, restoring its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Unlike fillings that address smaller areas of decay, crowns encase the entire visible portion of the tooth above the gum line, providing comprehensive protection and reinforcement. This restorative solution becomes necessary when a tooth has been compromised to the extent that other treatments cannot adequately restore its function.

The versatility of dental crowns makes them one of the most effective solutions in modern dentistry. They protect teeth that have undergone root canal treatment, secure dental bridges in place, cover severely discolored or misshapen teeth, and strengthen teeth weakened by large fillings or extensive decay. Research from the American Dental Association indicates that properly maintained dental crowns can last between 15 and 30 years, making them a durable investment in your oral health.

Advanced Crown Technology at Kabani Dental

We utilize the following crown technology:

CAD-CAM Same-Day Crowns

Our practice utilizes state-of-the-art CAD-CAM technology to design and fabricate custom crowns in a single appointment. This digital workflow begins with precise intraoral scanning that captures detailed three-dimensional images of your tooth structure, eliminating the need for uncomfortable traditional impressions. The computer-aided design system then creates a crown that matches your natural tooth anatomy with exceptional accuracy.

3D Printing and Digital Precision

The integration of 3D printing technology into our crown fabrication process is a significant advancement in restorative dentistry. This digital precision ensures that each crown fits perfectly, maintains proper bite alignment, and blends harmoniously with your surrounding teeth. The technology also allows us to make real-time adjustments during the design phase, resulting in superior outcomes and enhanced patient satisfaction.

The Crown Placement Process

Your journey to a restored smile begins with a comprehensive examination. Dr. Kabani evaluates the extent of damage and determines whether a crown is the best solution for your specific situation.

During the preparation appointment, the affected tooth is carefully shaped to accommodate the crown while preserving as much healthy tooth structure as possible. Our same-day crown technology means you can often receive your final restoration during this initial visit, eliminating the need for temporary crowns and multiple appointments. The crown is then bonded securely to your prepared tooth using advanced dental adhesives that create a lasting connection.

Types of Crown Materials

We use the following crown materials: 

Porcelain Crowns

All-ceramic or all-porcelain crowns offer superior aesthetics and are the preferred choice for front teeth or highly visible areas. These crowns can be precisely color-matched to your natural teeth and provide a translucent quality that mimics natural tooth enamel. They contain no metal components, making them an excellent option for patients with metal sensitivities.

Zirconia Crowns

Zirconia crowns are an excellent choice for patients who grind their teeth, a condition known as bruxism. Zirconia is one of the strongest dental materials available, making it highly resistant to the excessive wear and fracture forces that bruxism places on restorations. These crowns hold up exceptionally well in the back of the mouth, where chewing pressure is greatest, and they can also be shaded to blend naturally with surrounding teeth. For patients dealing with both bruxism and bite concerns, we may pair a zirconia crown with a custom night guard or splint therapy to protect the restoration long-term.

Gold Crowns

On special request, we also offer gold crowns. While less common today, gold remains one of the most durable and biocompatible materials in dentistry and is occasionally preferred for specific clinical situations.

Crown Care and Longevity

Maintaining your dental crown requires the same oral hygiene practices as your natural teeth. Brushing twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, flossing carefully around the crown margins, and attending regular dental examinations ensure your restoration remains in optimal condition. While crowns are highly durable, avoiding habits like ice chewing, nail biting, or using your teeth to open packages protects both your crown and your natural teeth from unnecessary stress.

The longevity of your crown depends on multiple factors, including the material selected, its location in your mouth, your oral hygiene habits, and regular professional maintenance. 

According to the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research, approximately 80% of dental crowns are functional for at least 15 years when properly cared for, with many lasting significantly longer. Our team provides personalized care instructions and schedules appropriate follow-up appointments to monitor your restoration over time.
