Care explained, without the pressure.
A crown covers and helps protect a tooth that is damaged, weakened, or too extensively restored for a filling alone. Dr. Wolkoff will consider how the tooth functions and how the restoration fits your smile.
Some cases involve a temporary crown while a laboratory makes the final restoration. Materials and visit timing vary. We will explain your specific process and estimate before treatment.

Simple steps. Clear decisions.
Here is how a conversation about dental crowns usually begins at our Kansas City office.

The tooth is prepared as needed and an impression or digital scan guides the restoration.
Fit and finish
The final crown is checked for fit, bite, and appearance before it is secured.
Questions, answered
Good to know before you go.
We would rather give you clear answers than leave you guessing. Call us if your question is more specific.
When is a crown better than a filling?
A crown may be recommended when the remaining tooth needs more coverage or protection than a filling can provide.
Will a crown match my other teeth?
The planned material and shade are selected with your smile in mind. Dr. Wolkoff will discuss what is realistic for your tooth.
Does insurance help cover a crown?
Many PPO plans have restorative benefits, but coverage depends on the reason for treatment and your specific plan. We can help you review an estimate.
