Dental Crowns with Gold Standard Dentistry in Fort Myers
Fort Myers Dental Crowns
Damaged, stained and misshapen teeth can be embarrassing and problematic. For some dental patients, dental crowns are the solution. Dental crowns are a tool that dentists use to cover and protect teeth that have cosmetic damage. Dental crowns can also strengthen teeth with weakened tooth enamel.
Do you have cracks or chips in your teeth? This problem can be corrected with dental crowns. At Gold Standard Dentistry, we offer crown installation services to patients in the Fort Myers, FL area. As your dentist in Fort Myers, FL we can help you determine whether a dental crown is right for you
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF DENTAL CROWNS?
- Improved appearance: Dental crowns can cover and protect teeth that are damaged, stained or misshapen. This can improve the overall appearance of your smile. Porcelain crowns can even be matched to the exact shade of your natural teeth.
- Improved function: Dental crowns can also improve the function of your teeth. They can make it easier to chew and speak. When compared to other options, such as dentures, crowns allow you to speak and eat in a more natural manner.
- Protection: Dental crowns can protect weak or damaged teeth from further damage. They can help to prevent the need for extractions and implants or dentures.
Our Same-Day Dental Crown Process
The process of getting a dental crown traditionally took several weeks and multiple visits to the dentist. However, at Gold Standard Dentistry, we make crowns on-site, allowing us to offer same-day dental crown services.
At our Fort Myers dentist office, we start by assessing your teeth and your situation, we then grind down the tooth, prepare the tooth for the crown, and create the crown on-site. This allows you to spend less time at the dentist, and because it requires only one visit, the dental crown often costs less, especially when it comes to copays.
WHAT IS A CROWN?
A dental crown is a cover that is designed to fit over the tooth. Dental crowns can be made from a variety of materials depending on the needs of the patient. Crowns are thin, strong, and long-lasting, and can be made from metal or from tooth-colored material.
Crown Materials Available
There are many crown materials available. The type of material that you choose should depend upon your budget and aesthetic preferences. Below are some of the materials that we typically install at Gold Standard Dentistry.
Metal
Metals like gold are long-lasting and very strong. Metal crowns are often installed in the back of the mouth because they do not look like natural tooth material. These materials can cost more and do not fit in every patient budget. We’ll help you decide if metal is a good material for your crown.
Porcelain
Porcelain crowns can be made to match the natural color of the patient’s teeth. This makes porcelain crowns a common choice for teeth near the front of the mouth.
Resin
Resin crowns can also be made to match the natural appearance of the teeth, however, resin does not last as long as materials like porcelain. Resin crowns are less expensive than materials like porcelain and metal and are a common choice for patients who are seeking a more budget-friendly crown option.
There are other choices for crown materials available at gold standard dentistry. Talk to your dentist to choose the right material for your budget as well as your aesthetic preferences.
DO CROWNS LOOK NATURAL?
Crowns can be designed to look completely natural. If it is important to you to have a crown that looks natural, talk to your dentist.
How to Know if You Need a Crown
A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap that is placed over a tooth to cover it and restore its shape and size, as well as improve the appearance of a tooth. There are many reasons why you may need a dental crown, including:
- To protect a tooth that is weak or damaged
- To cover a tooth that is misshapen or discolored
- To cover a dental implant
- To support a tooth with a large filling
Ultimately, only your Fort Myers dentist can determine if you need a dental crown. Reach out to us today to schedule a dentist appointment.
SAME DAY CROWNS
If you have a damaged or decayed tooth, it’s important to protect that tooth from bacteria and infection. Crowns are a traditional tool that have been used in dentistry for decades. When a crown is installed over an existing tooth, the existing tooth is protected from decay, bacteria and more.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TRADITIONAL CROWNS AND SAME DAY CROWNS
Traditional crowns take multiple days to install, because the dentist begins by taking a mold of the teeth and sending the mold to the lab. The lab must make the crown, send it back to the dentist, and then the dentist can make an appointment with the patient to finish installation.
Same day crowns in Fort Myers, FL, are different because they don’t need to be sent to a lab. The dentist can evaluate the patient, grind down the tooth enamel to prepare the tooth for the crown, and create the crown on-site. The crown is then placed on the tooth, cemented into place, and the patient can go home.
BENEFITS OF SAME DAY CROWNS
Many patients prefer same day crowns for their convenience. The benefits of same day crowns include:
- Less time spent at the dentist. Same day crowns allow the patient to get everything done in one day.
- Less expense. Depending on your insurance plan, you may find that same day crowns cost less than the traditional crowns, because one dental visit means one copay instead of two or more.
- Natural aesthetic. Your crown will be matched to the color of your teeth. Once installed, no one will be able to tell the difference between your same day crown and another type of crown.
SAME DAY CROWNS FAQ
What is a same day crown?
A same day crown is a crown that can be made and installed all in one day, while you’re at the dentist. You won’t have to return to the dentist to get your crown installed at a later date.
How long do same day crowns last?
Same day crowns can be made from the same materials that traditional crowns are made from, which means that your same day crown should last just as long as a traditional crown.
Do same day crowns look natural?
Your dentist at Gold Standard Dentistry will match the color of the crown to your other teeth to ensure that your crown will look just as natural as other teeth in your mouth.
Are same day crowns just as effective as standard crowns?

IMPLANT CROWNS
A traditional implant is a cover that fits neatly over a tooth. The implant is installed after the tooth enamel is shaved down to make room for the implant. Implants can be made from many materials.
Implant crowns are similar to traditional implants, but instead of installing the crown over an existing tooth, the crown is installed over an implant. As your dentist in Fort Myers, FL, we can help you choose the right implant crown for your implants, and we can educate you about the best implant crown choices for you.
WHAT ARE IMPLANT CROWNS IN FORT MYERS, FL
An implant crown is a prosthetic tooth placed on top of an implant. Typically, implant crowns are made from a natural material like porcelain fused with metal, or metal all the way through. Whether your implant crown looks like a natural tooth will depend on what kind of material it’s made from. Talk to your dentist to find out more about the various materials available to you.
WHO NEEDS IMPLANT CROWNS?
You’ll need an implant crown when you get an implant. Implants are necessary when you’re missing a tooth, or when you get a tooth extraction.
Implant Crown Materials
There are multiple types of implant crown materials. Each material has its own look and style. Some examples of implant crown materials include:
Gold. Gold is a common crown material, but is not always used on implant crowns because it cannot be matched to the natural color of the surrounding teeth. Gold is a good material for crowns because it’s durable and long-lasting. This material also comes at a higher cost than some other materials, so if this is the kind of material you’d like for your tooth, talk to your dentist to find out about the price.
Porcelain fused with metal. Porcelain looks a lot more like your natural teeth, and in fact can be matched to the color of the teeth in your mouth. If you would like a crown that looks just like the other teeth in your mouth, talk to your dentist about getting porcelain infused with metal.
IMPLANT CROWN MAINTENANCE
Implant crowns are maintained in a way that is much like the other teeth in your mouth. Use a soft-bristle toothbrush and non-abrasive toothpaste to clean your implant crown. Your dentist at Gold Standard Dentistry can help you choose the right toothpaste for your implant crown. Your dentist will also show you how to floss your crown.
