Dental Crowns
Dental crowns can perform several functions, including restoring teeth that are broken, worn, or decayed.
These restorations can also be used as a cosmetic treatment to conceal imperfections or paired with dental implants to replace lost teeth.
Dr. Andy Maples offers traditional and same-day crowns for our patients at West Lake Dental in Loveland, CO.
When Is a Dental Crown Recommended?

While small cavities can be repaired with dental fillings, larger areas of decay usually require a custom inlay, onlay, or dental crown.

If a tooth has become cracked or broken at the gum line, a restoration can help add strength and reinforcement to stop further damage.

Deep dental stains do not respond to teeth whitening. In these instances, dental crowns can be used to conceal discoloration.

An infected tooth requires root canal treatment. Following the procedure, your dentist often places a crown for reinforcement.

Dental implants replace missing tooth roots. Once the area has healed, implants are paired with restorations to complete your bite.

Traditional Dental Crowns A Closer Look at the Procedure
During an initial consultation at our Loveland practice, Dr. Maples can determine if you are a candidate for a dental crown. Treatment usually takes one to two appointments, depending on your specific needs. Here are some basic steps you can expect during treatment.
Many of our patients qualify for same-day crowns.
Same-Day Crowns
At West Lake Dental, we utilize advanced CAD/CAM technology. Qualifying patients can have their dental crowns fabricated and placed in just one office visit. There is no need for a temporary or long wait for a fully restored smile. During a consultation at our dentistry practice, Dr. Maples can let you know if you are a candidate for this state-of-the-art procedure.

I am a retired doctor and new to the area. I was referred to Dr. Maples through family members. I must tell you firstly that I was envious of the manner in which his office is operated. I had practiced my profession for thirty-six years and have not seen a better run operation. The staff is highly skilled and were a kind and caring group. Each time I've visited the office I have been treated like a family member. Rarely do you find such a consistently genuine dental office.
