Affordable Dental Crowns (Caps) in Peoria and Glendale Arizona | Repair and Restore Broken Teeth
A healthy, beautiful smile is important in today’s world for a number of reasons. But what can you do if tooth damage is preventing you from having the smile you want? Dental crowns, or “caps,” could be the solution for you. Crowns prevent further decay, fill in gaps, and improve the overall look, feel, and function of your smile. Here at Arise Dental in Peoria, we can adapt this type of restoration to fit virtually any dental condition or budget.
What is a dental crown?
A dental crown is a cap that fits right over the tooth to protect, replace any lost structure, and restore functionality. According to the American Dental Association, a crown can help strengthen a tooth with a large filling when there isn’t enough tooth remaining to hold the filling. Crowns can also be used to attach bridges, protect a weak tooth from breaking or restore one that’s already broken. A crown is a good way to cover teeth that are discolored or badly shaped. It’s also used to cover a dental implant.
Dental Crown Types Offered by Arise Dental
Our dentist, Dr. Curtis West provides the following types of crowns to meet your needs and budget:
Porcelain–A popular option, this type of crown combines the durability of its underlying metal cap with a natural appearance. Keep in mind that the porcelain can chip along the gum line to reveal the metal underneath.
Ceramic–With the choice of a metal-fused or all-ceramic option, this crown also blends with the natural color of teeth. The ceramic crown is not as durable as its porcelain cousin, so it’s most often used on front teeth.
Metal–Favoring function over form, the metal crown is among the strongest types of crowns for long-term use, but it does not blend with the natural color of teeth.
Resin–This type of crown can provide a natural appearance at a low cost, but it’s prone to wear and tear.

What are dental bridges?
If you have one or more missing teeth, a dental bridge can fill the gap using artificial teeth. Dental bridges fill in gaps of missing teeth and provide support to surrounding teeth and dental structures. They are comprised of two dental crowns (caps) placed on either side of a gap and a bridge of false teeth or “pontics” to fill in the space between.
Who needs a dental crown?
Are you self-conscious about your smile? Worried about your damaged, discolored teeth? Crowns can help by filling in gaps and stopping further decay. The result is a healthier, more beautiful smile you can show with confidence. At Arise Dental, we might suggest crowns for the following reasons:
Broken tooth or teeth
Severe tooth decay
Enamel erosion
Cosmetic concerns
Protect a tooth after root canal treatment
Restore a dental implant
Secure a dental bridge
What should I expect during the dental crown placement process?
Depending on the type of dental crown you receive, the procedure process and time might vary. But typically, the process involves two appointments to finalize.
During your first appointment, Dr. West will prepare the tooth or teeth needing a crown. Then an impression of the tooth or teeth will be made allowing you to receive a temporary crown while the permanent crown gets constructed in a dental lab.
You will return for a second appointment once the permanent crown is complete. In this time, Dr. West will place and permanently seal the crown to the tooth or teeth preventing any bacteria from entering. Any final adjustments will then be made.
Sometimes, making time for multiple appointments to have a crown placed just isn’t an option. That’s why we’re pleased to offer our patients the option of receiving a crown in just two hours.
Our office uses CEREC technology to create beautiful crowns right here on-site, without the need for multiple visits.

How do I care for my crown(s)?
The tooth that a crown protects is especially vulnerable, which is why proper at-home oral care is extremely important in maintaining your dental crown(s). Fortunately, caring for your new crown(s) is relatively easy! It’s no more work than the daily brushing and flossing that you regularly do. It’s also essential to keep up with your routine dental check-ups with your dentist. We at Arise Dental in Peoria can help you do just that!
How long do dental crowns last?
Dental crowns are a popular solution for enhancing your smile and restoring weakened teeth, but they do not last forever. The average lifespan of a dental crown is about 10 to 15 years, especially if properly cared for and maintained.
Of course, many variables will determine how long your dental crown(s) last.
The material they’re made from as some materials are more durable than others.
Where the dental crown is placed can affect its wear and tear.
The precision of the fit is critical. A poor fit could allow for bacteria to get underneath the crown, potentially resulting in tooth decay.
The better you take care of your crown, the longer it will last.
Can a dental crown be removed or replaced?
Yes. When the lifespan of a crown(s) does in fact come to an end, the crown(s) can be removed and/or replaced if needed. The most common reasons for the failure of crowns include age, damage to the crown or natural tooth, tooth decay under the crown, or the crown keeps falling off.
