Why Lab-Made Crowns Matter: Quality and Precision in Tucker

Imagine this: you just found out you need a dental crown. Maybe you're nervous about the process, or you've heard stories of crowns that feel bulky, don’t fit right, or wear down too quickly. It’s understandable! Nobody wants to invest time and money into dental work only to end up uncomfortable or back in the chair for corrections and adjustments.

That’s why custom-crafted lab-made crowns are essential for your comfort, confidence, and long-term oral health. At Peach Blossom Dental in Tucker, Dr. Angela Wright and her team are committed to restoring your smile with precision and personalized care, and lab-made crowns play a huge part in delivering the quality you deserve.

What Are Lab-Made Dental Crowns?

Lab-made crowns are crafted by skilled dental lab technicians using detailed impressions or scans of your teeth. Unlike same-day or prefabricated alternatives, these crowns are built with custom precision to ensure a natural look, a snug fit, and long-lasting strength. Here’s how the process typically works:

• First, Dr. Wright prepares the damaged tooth and captures an impression or digital scan using advanced intraoral scanners for high accuracy.
• The scan is sent to a dental lab with detailed specifications.
• In the lab, technicians use high-quality materials like porcelain, zirconia, or ceramic to craft the crown by hand, or with computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM).
• The final restoration is sent back to our office for the perfect fit, color match, and polish before placement.

While this process takes a little longer than same-day options, the payoff is well worth it. A properly made crown can last 10-15 years or more with good care, offering unmatched comfort and durability.

Why Quality and Precision Matter for Your Crown

Dental crowns are more than just protective caps, they’re part of your bite, your smile, and your daily routine. A poorly made crown can cause a cascade of challenges, from jaw pain to tooth wear and recurring decay. That’s why Peach Blossom Dental prioritizes lab-made crowns crafted with precision and care. Here’s what sets them apart:

Superior Fit and Comfort

• Custom Contouring: Lab-made crowns align with your existing bite and tooth structure, minimizing the risk of discomfort and jaw issues.
• No Guesswork: Digital scans capture extremely fine details that are too fine for traditional impressions, leading to crowns that feel more like natural teeth.

Natural, Aesthetic Appearance

• Expert shading and layering techniques make it nearly impossible to tell the crown apart from surrounding teeth.
• Materials like porcelain and zirconia mimic the translucency and texture of real enamel.

Long-Lasting Performance

A high-quality, lab-fabricated crown can last many years without needing a replacement. Because they’re made from durable materials by trained artisans, lab-made crowns are resistant to chips, stains, and wear.

Common Questions About Lab-Made Dental Crowns

How long does it take to get a lab-made crown?

Usually, the process requires two visits spaced approximately 2-3 weeks apart. During the first visit, your tooth is prepared and scanned, and a temporary crown is placed. At your second appointment, the custom crown is permanently bonded.

Will the crown match the color of my other teeth?

Absolutely. Our lab technicians use a custom shade-matching system to ensure the crown blends in seamlessly with your natural teeth.

Do lab-made crowns cost more?

While they can have a slightly higher upfront cost than same-day alternatives, lab-made crowns provide superior longevity and performance, meaning fewer replacements, fewer issues, and better value in the long run.

How to Care for Your Lab-Made Crown

Taking care of a crown is similar to caring for your natural teeth. Here are a few tips:

• Brush twice daily with ADA-accepted fluoride toothpaste
• Floss around the crown to prevent plaque buildup between teeth
• Avoid biting ice or hard candies that might wear down or crack the ceramic material
• Continue with regular dental checkups and cleanings at Peach Blossom Dental

With consistent care and routine visits, your lab-made crown can provide a beautiful, reliable solution for many years to come.
