Dental Crowns
Custom dental crowns designed and verified by Dr. Luciano Retana, a prosthodontist with dental-lab training. Built to fit your bite, your face, and the way you talk and smile.
A crown covers and rebuilds a single tooth that has lost too much structure to a fracture, decay, or a large old filling.
After consultation and design conversation at the Boulder office, the tooth is minimally prepared, an impression or scan is taken, and the crown is custom-fabricated. Dr. Luciano Retana participates as the dental technician on cases that demand it.
A well-designed crown restores function, protects the tooth, and looks natural. It also holds up over years when planned and verified correctly.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about dental crowns.
Anyone with a tooth that's cracked, heavily worn, or has a large old filling that needs full coverage to stay strong.
The tooth is gently prepared, an impression or scan is taken, and a custom crown is fitted and checked against your bite.
A traditional crown usually takes two visits a couple of weeks apart. Same-day options exist for some cases.
A well-fitted crown should feel natural. The material is chosen to match the tooth's location and how hard it has to work.
You may notice mild sensitivity for a few days. Once the crown is bonded, you can use the tooth normally.
