We make crowns right here in our office, so most patients get their crown in one visit with no temporary. We also do tooth colored fillings, inlays, onlays and bridges.
At most offices, a crown takes two visits and a few weeks with a temporary while a lab makes it. We make ours in the office, so most patients are done in one appointment.
A small camera scans your tooth in a couple of minutes. No messy impression material.
Dr. Schmidt designs your crown to fit your bite and match the color of your other teeth.
The crown is milled from a ceramic block right in the office, then fitted and bonded the same day.
A crown covers a tooth that is cracked, worn down, or weak from a large filling or root canal. Ours are made from strong, tooth colored ceramic right in the office, so most patients get their crown the same day.
We fill cavities with tooth colored material that bonds to your tooth and blends right in. We can also replace old silver fillings when they start to wear out.
When a tooth needs more than a filling but not a full crown, an inlay or onlay repairs just the damaged part. We make these in the office too.
A bridge fills the gap from a missing tooth by attaching a replacement tooth to crowns on the teeth on either side. Sometimes an implant is a better fit, and Dr. Schmidt will go over both options with you. Implants and dentures
My whole life after breaking my teeth I was worried about getting crowns and vowed not to do it. After talking with him about it he calmed me enough to give it a shot. Boy did they turn out great.

Yes, in most cases. We scan your tooth, design the crown and make it in the office, then fit it the same day. A few cases still need a second visit, and we will let you know ahead of time.
It is a longer visit than a filling, since the crown is made while you wait. We will let you know how much time to plan for when you book.
Yes. They are made from strong ceramic and should last many years with good care.
Yes. When an old metal filling is cracked or leaking, we can replace it with a tooth colored filling, inlay or onlay.
Most traditional plans cover part of the cost of a crown. We file the claim for you and go over the cost before we start. Insurance and financing.
New patients are always welcome. Wednesday runs until 7:00pm if daytime does not work for you.
