What Are Dental Crowns?
Crowns are dental restorations that resemble natural teeth. They are typically used to repair breaks and protect against future infection. They can also be attached to dental implants in order to replace missing teeth.
Dr. Kinder of Knoxville, TN, uses durable, natural-looking dental crowns that can withstand years of normal chewing, speaking, brushing, and flossing. At the end of dental crown treatment with our dentist, you'll have a completely functional bite and an attractive smile.
Crowns in Action
To protect a damaged tooth with a crown, Dr. Kinder must first reshape the tooth. Then, he can attach a custom-designed crown made out of porcelain, zirconia, or IPS e.max.
Dental Crown Timeline
Do You Need a Dental Crown?
If you have a tooth that is consistently causing you pain, you may have a dental infection. Dr. Kinder can perform a root canal to remove infected material. Then, he can cap the tooth with a crown, preventing the need for extraction.
A chipped or broken tooth can impair your dental function and make you feel self-conscious about smiling. Our dentist can place a crown over your broken tooth, restoring your ability to chew and the appearance of your smile.
Some teeth are too discolored for teeth whitening or too significantly damaged for porcelain veneers. The crowns we use look just like natural teeth, so we can use them to give your smile a major cosmetic upgrade.
Traditional dentures are prone to slipping out of place, while traditional bridges don't provide the necessary support to your jawbone. A crown attached to a dental implant is the best solution for a missing tooth.

I had some questions about an upcoming procedure and the necessity of some of the items. Dr. Kinder took the time to explain them to me in detail and gave me the pros and cons of eliminating some of the processes. He gave me the information I needed to make an informed decision about what to do. Was very pleased.

Dr. Kinder and his staff are top notch. I have been going to them since 1997 and both of my children prefer to got there instead of a pediatric dental office. I have not had the first problem there. I will continue to recommend them to anyone that asks.

Many patients are intimidated by the idea of root canal therapy, but in the hands of an experienced dentist like Dr. Kinder, root canal treatment is quick and gentle. The purpose of root canal therapy is to remove infected material from the interior of a tooth. Root canal procedures are always concluded with the placement of dental crowns.
If you suspect you have a dental infection, you should contact our office as soon as possible. If left untreated, the infection can spread to other parts of your body and cause serious health issues. Get in touch with us today so we can save your tooth and provide you with a state-of-the-art dental crown.
Crowns and Dental Implants
Dental implants are the premier tooth replacement solution in modern dentistry because they replace the roots of missing teeth. Implants fuse directly with the jawbone, so crowns attached to implants will not slip or slide like traditional dentures do. Also, because implants integrate with the jawbone, they prevent the bone atrophy that accompanies tooth loss.
Dr. Kinder has the skills and expertise to handle every stage of implant treatment himself. He will not have to refer you to other specialists. If you have a missing tooth, contact our office today to get started on your journey towards a complete smile.
Crowns and Smile Makeovers
Because our porcelain, zirconia, and IPS e.max crowns resemble natural teeth so closely, Dr. Kinder often incorporates dental crowns into smile makeover plans. A smile makeover is a custom-designed treatment plan that combines multiple cosmetic procedures to radically overhaul the appearance of your smile.
If you are unhappy with the appearance of your teeth and gums, schedule a consultation with our dentist today. Dr. Kinder is an expert in cosmetic dentistry who can give you the smile you've always dreamed of.
