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.
What Is a Dental Crown?
/
Simply put, a dental crown is a cap that covers your natural tooth. They are made from durable materials like porcelain, zirconia, or ceramics. We can create same-day crowns in our office or provide you with a temporary crown if your permanent crown is being made in a lab, so you don't have to wait long for a new smile.

Dr. Andy Maples and everyone at West Lake Dental are truly amazing. I tell all of my friends and co-workers that I truly enjoy going to the dentist, because my dentist office is that good. I recently had a filling and haven't had one for 8 years so I was nervous about what to expect. It was such a great experience from start to finish. I didn't even feel the numbing injections. Dr. Andy called me at 8pm to check on me and make sure I was doing ok after the procedure. The staff are always friendly and welcoming, and truly make you feel like they care.

Yes, it will. Our Loveland dentistry practice makes custom crowns designed to blend in with your smile. We offer several materials, such as zirconia and porcelain, which are durable and lifelike. Our dentist can explain the benefits of each material during your consultation.
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.
Take a Look at Crown Placement
After a root canal or trauma to a tooth, you may need a crown. Once your dental crown has been created from high-quality materials like porcelain or zirconia, Dr. Maples can secure it onto your natural tooth or implant. It will blend in easily with the rest of your smile.

"...A Kind and Caring Group." What Loveland, CO, Patients Have to Say

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.
