When teeth become weakened or damaged due to decay, fractures or large restorations, dental crowns provide a long-lasting solution that restores strength, function and appearance. At Vibe Dental, our dentists and team offer expertly crafted crowns that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. We provide individualized crown treatments designed for both health and aesthetics.
Why Choose Dental Crowns?
Dental crowns in Mesa, Arizona, are full-coverage restorations that encase the entire visible portion of a tooth. They are used to strengthen compromised teeth, restore shape and size, and improve the appearance of discolored or misshapen enamel. Crowns can be placed on natural teeth or over dental implants.
Benefits of dental crowns in Mesa include:
- Protection for weakened or fractured teeth
- Restoration of tooth shape and function
- Improved bite alignment and oral comfort
- Natural appearance with custom shading and contours
- Long-term durability with proper care
Our process begins with a detailed evaluation, including imaging and diagnostics, to ensure the affected tooth is stable and suitable for crown placement. The crown design is customized based on your bite, neighboring teeth and personal preferences.
Materials and Technology
Dr. Justin Palmer, Dr. Daniel Lyu and Dr. Aaron Stroh use high-quality materials such as porcelain, zirconia and ceramic to fabricate crowns that are both strong and lifelike. Digital impressions and CAD/CAM technology are used to create precise fits and reduce the need for adjustments. These advanced tools also support quicker turnaround times and improved accuracy.
Temporary crowns are often placed while the final restoration is crafted. Once ready, the permanent crown is securely bonded in place, restoring the tooth’s function and appearance. Our dentists will carefully check the bite and shape to ensure proper fit and comfort.
When Crowns Are Recommended
Dental crowns in Mesa, Arizona, are recommended in several situations, including after root canal therapy, for broken or cracked teeth and when a tooth has extensive decay that cannot be restored with a filling. They are also used to anchor dental bridges or top dental implants. Dental crowns in Mesa, AZ, are often part of full-mouth rehabilitation plans to improve bite stability and overall oral health.
Patients who clench or grind their teeth may be advised to use a nightguard to protect the crown and adjacent teeth. With regular checkups and good hygiene, most crowns can last 10 to 15 years or longer.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Crowns
How long does it take to adjust to a new dental crown?
Most patients adapt to their new crown within a few days. Any minor sensitivity or bite differences usually resolve as your mouth becomes familiar with the new shape and surface.
Can dental crowns be used for cosmetic purposes only?
Yes. While crowns are primarily restorative, they are sometimes used to enhance the appearance of teeth that are misshapen, severely discolored or uneven. Cosmetic crowns are designed with aesthetics as the top priority.
Are there dietary restrictions with dental crowns?
While crowns are durable, it is advisable to avoid biting into extremely hard foods like ice, hard candies or popcorn kernels. These habits can put excessive pressure on the crown and increase the risk of damage.
What should I do if my crown becomes loose or falls off?
If a crown becomes dislodged, it is important to contact our office immediately. In the meantime, keep the crown clean and avoid chewing on that side. We will evaluate the fit and reattach or replace it as needed.
Do you provide dental crowns for patients outside Mesa, Arizona?
Yes. We welcome patients in Mesa, and surrounding areas including Mesa, Gilbert and Scottsdale, Arizona. Our dentists frequently work with individuals who travel to our practice for personalized, high-quality crown treatments supported by advanced technology and expert care.
