Dental Crowns
Broken, worn, missing, and severely decayed teeth can make daily tasks difficult and negatively impact your quality of life.
A dental crown is a flexible solution that can be used to strengthen, repair, replace, or improve the appearance of a tooth.
Using CEREC® technology, Link Dental serving Centennial, CO, can create and place a dental crown in a single appointment.
Experiencing a Dental Emergency?
If you have damaged a tooth or knocked one out completely, our dental team can try to fit you in for an emergency appointment. Using dental crowns and other services, our dentists can restore your smile and oral health quickly.
Crowns Are a Versatile Solution With a Variety of Benefits
Dental crowns can be used in cases of:
Broken, cracked, or worn-down teeth can be reinforced with dental crowns. They can help protect what's left of your teeth and reinstate your oral function.
If you have a cavity, your dentist will have to remove the decayed tissue. While small cavities can be treated with a filling, large cavities may require a crown.
If you have a misshapen tooth or deep dental stains that don't respond to teeth whitening treatments, we can place a crown to give you an even, vibrant smile.
Root canal therapy removes an infection from the tooth chamber to save the tooth. We can often place a crown immediately after root canal therapy to reinforce the tooth structure.
If you have a missing tooth or need one extracted, a dental crown can be supported by an implant to completely replace your tooth and repair your smile.

I am very grateful for the care and treatment i’ve received from both Dr. Mark and Dr. Jean Link at Link Dental. I had a really scary, serious accident last summer that has required extensive dental care... has been there for me from the start to the end - clearly explaining my treatment options, taking good care of me during my procedures, and providing thorough check-ins for me during our follow-up appointments... I would recommend Link Dental to people looking for kind, caring dentists.

Dr. Link and his staff made the experience manageable and comfortable - especially for someone who has an absolute fear of even walking by a dental office. They provided excellent care and a kind chairside manner with direct communication during every step of the procedure. Dr. Link’s staff is some of the best and most professional I’ve encountered in my 30 years of getting dental work.

After you've been approved for a crown, you can expect several steps:
Our goal is to make you feel comfortable during each visit, in control of your health decisions, and cared for every moment you're with us.
Understanding CEREC Crowns
CEREC technology allows us to provide patients with porcelain restorations in a single visit to our office. If you're receiving a same-day crown with us, your entire appointment may take just two hours. With CEREC milling technology, there's no need to wear or pay for a temporary crown, make time for 2-3 appointments, or wait a month as a dental lab creates your crown.
We will always explore this option with you when you come to us for a porcelain crown, but sometimes coordinating your care with a dental lab is the best course of action.
Caring for Your Crown
When cared for properly, porcelain crowns can last for 15 years or longer. To make the most of your crown, we recommend:
Being Mindful of Your Habits
While your crown is made from durable materials that can withstand natural chewing forces, it can still become damaged. Avoid using your teeth as tools and wear an oral appliance if you have bruxism (teeth grinding).
Following an Oral Hygiene Routine
While porcelain can't decay, the tooth beneath your crown can. You must still abide by an oral care routine that involves brushing, flossing, and using mouthwash.
Attending Routine Checkups
Regular checkups with our dentists in Centennial will allow them to examine each tooth, maintain your oral health, stop problems before they become serious, and tell you when it's time for a new crown.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which materials are used to make your crowns?
Our Centennial dentistry practice uses materials like IPS e.max®, empress, zirconia, and porcelain, so your crown can be customized based on where it will be placed and how you want it to look.
Do you accept insurance or financing?
Our office accepts many insurance and PPO plans, but be sure to check with us to make sure your insurance is accepted. We also accept financing through GreenSky® and CareCredit®.

I doubt one could find more devoted dentists than Mark and Jean for your well-being. Being an engineer, I recognize quality work when I see it. A recent comprehensive review of my 18-year journey with Dr. Mark was most enlightening. And the staff has always been delightful and attentive.

Dr. Mark Link is wonderful! I have been his patient for 18 years. When I first saw him, I had many dental problems along with pain. Dr. Link took the time to resolve the problems. He is very patient, methodical, and a problem solver. The office is well run and the staff is very helpful and cheerful. I highly recommend him.
