Dental Crowns in Rapid City
Get Your Dental Crown Done With Dr. Graves' Expertise!
Dentistry is an art as well as a science; dental crowns offer a perfect example of this. A dental crown or “cap” is a covering that fits over a damaged, decayed or unattractive tooth. It can even replace a tooth entirely as part of dental bridgework.
Our team at Rapid City Smiles Implant and Family Dentistry is proud to invest in the latest dental technology to provide more convenient, comprehensive, and high-quality dental care. We are proud to offer completely digital impressions with no more messy impression material! Dr. Graves is committed to offering the best materials and technology to give you the smile you deserve. We're also able to offer Same Day Crowns so you don't have to wait to perfect your dental health.

A crown completely covers a tooth above the gum line. This is in contrast to a dental veneer, which only covers a tooth's front surface and needs natural tooth structure to support it. Therefore, if a tooth is missing a significant amount of structure above the gum line, a crown would be the restoration of choice.
Crowns strengthen damaged teeth, allowing them to function normally again. When crafted from today's high-tech porcelains (dental ceramics), crowns are virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth. They can even be designed to improve upon a tooth's original appearance.
There are other materials besides porcelain that we can use to make dental crowns, depending on what qualities are most important. For durability, cast gold can't be beat. However, this is not always the most aesthetic choice — especially towards the front of the mouth. Other possibilities include porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns (PFM), which have a metal interior for strength and a porcelain exterior for a more natural appearance, and all-porcelain crowns with zirconia, representing the strongest ceramic.
We would be happy to discuss the pros and cons of these various options with you.
