Protect and beautify damaged teeth with custom crowns crafted in our in-house digital lab. Our precision restorations provide complete coverage that looks natural, feels comfortable, and restores full function while preventing further damage.
Dental crowns are custom-made caps placed over damaged or weakened teeth to restore their shape, size, strength, and appearance. These tooth-shaped restorations encase the entire visible portion of a tooth from the gum line up, effectively becoming the tooth’s new outer surface while protecting the vulnerable structure beneath.
Unlike fillings that replace just a portion of a damaged tooth, crowns provide complete coverage and protection, making them ideal for teeth that have suffered extensive damage from decay, fractures, or wear. They’re also essential following root canal therapy to prevent further damage to the treated tooth. Modern dental crowns blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, providing both structural support and aesthetic enhancement to your smile.
When tooth decay extends beyond what a simple filling can address, a crown becomes necessary to restore function and prevent further deterioration. Large cavities compromise the structural integrity of a tooth, making it vulnerable to fractures during normal chewing forces. A crown distributes these forces evenly across the tooth, providing protection while allowing you to eat normally without fear of damage.
Teeth can develop cracks or fractures from trauma, grinding habits, or biting hard objects like ice or unpopped popcorn kernels. These cracks may cause pain, sensitivity, or put the tooth at risk for further damage. Crowns hold the tooth together, preventing the crack from expanding and protecting the sensitive inner structures from exposure and infection.
Teeth that have undergone root canal treatment are more brittle and susceptible to fractures because they no longer have a living blood supply providing moisture and nutrients. A crown placed after endodontic therapy protects the tooth from breaking during normal function and seals it against reinfection, ensuring the success of your root canal investment.
Beyond their restorative benefits, crowns offer significant aesthetic improvements for teeth that are severely discolored, misshapen, or worn down. When veneers or bonding aren’t suitable due to the extent of the damage, a crown can completely transform a tooth’s appearance while simultaneously providing structural support.

A dental crown, colloquially referred to as a “cap,” is specifically designed to encase the visible segment of a tooth. It is like a protective cover, offering structural integrity and stability to a tooth that has been compromised due to decay, cracks, extensive fillings, or following a root canal therapy.
At Ponce Dental Studio, we’ve revolutionized the crown experience by bringing the entire process in-house with our state-of-the-art digital lab and milling equipment. Unlike traditional practices that outsource crown fabrication to external labs, our integrated approach allows us to design and create your restoration under one roof—significantly improving quality control, accuracy, and efficiency.
This vertical integration means our dentists work directly with our lab technicians throughout the process, ensuring your crown is fabricated with complete understanding of your specific needs. We meticulously consider how your crown will interact with adjacent teeth, opposing teeth, and your overall bite to create a restoration that functions harmoniously within your mouth.
Most importantly, our in-house capabilities eliminate the typical two-week wait time associated with traditional crown procedures. In many cases, we can design, fabricate, and place your crown in significantly less time, reducing the period you need to wear a temporary restoration and minimizing disruption to your life.
Zirconia, a type of ceramic, is our material of choice for crowns due to its exceptional durability and aesthetic appeal. This high-strength material closely mirrors the color of natural teeth, providing an optimal blend of resilience and aesthetics.
Zirconia crowns not only restore functionality but also contribute to a stunning, natural-looking smile. These crowns are an excellent choice for individuals looking for reliable, long-lasting, and aesthetically harmonious solutions to their dental needs.
In addition to Zirconia crowns, we also provide eMax crowns at Ponce Dental Studio. Known for their superior aesthetics, eMax crowns are made from lithium disilicate ceramic, a material recognized for its translucent properties that mimic the appearance of natural tooth enamel. eMax crowns are highly durable and offer excellent longevity, making them a favored choice for front teeth restorations where aesthetics are of paramount importance.
A dental crown is a type of dental restoration that fully encases a damaged or decayed tooth, providing it with strength, functionality, and an improved appearance.
Choosing in-house crafted crowns at our Atlanta, GA, dental practice means you’re opting for quick, high-quality, and convenient service. In-house design and milling cut down waiting times, eliminate the need for temporary crowns in some cases, while ensuring superior quality control.
Zirconia crowns boast superior durability and an excellent aesthetic match with natural teeth. This makes them an optimal choice for patients looking for restorations that combine longevity and natural appearance.
Dental crowns require the same care as natural teeth: daily brushing and flossing, regular dental cleanings, and check-ups. Avoid habits that could damage the crown, such as biting on hard foods or objects.
An eMax crown is a type of all-ceramic crown made from lithium disilicate. They are admired for their exceptional aesthetic qualities, closely resembling the transparency and color of natural teeth.
eMax crowns offer several benefits. They provide impressive durability and are resistant to chipping or cracking. With their excellent translucency, they blend seamlessly with natural teeth, making them an excellent choice for front teeth restorations.
The choice between Zirconia and eMax crowns depends on your specific needs and where the crown will be placed. While both materials offer excellent durability, Zirconia is typically chosen for its superior strength, particularly for back teeth that undergo significant chewing pressure. On the other hand, eMax crowns offer enhanced aesthetics due to their high translucency, making them a favored choice for front teeth.
With proper care and regular dental check-ups, an eMax crown can last for many years. As with any dental restoration, the longevity of an eMax crown is influenced by the patient’s oral hygiene practices and lifestyle habits.
Whether you’re considering a Zirconia or eMax crown, our team at Ponce Dental Studio in Atlanta, GA, is ready to guide you through the process, ensuring you receive a dental restoration that beautifully enhances your smile.
