Dental Crowns
Crowns Also Offer Incredible Aesthetic Benefits
We can use dental crowns for more than just restorative purposes. They have a wide range of applications in cosmetic dentistry as well.
If you have a tooth that looks worn, slightly misshapen, or deeply discolored, a crown can provide a more comprehensive, lasting solution than other cosmetic treatments like dental bonding or teeth whitening may be able to.
Reach out to our dentist to find out if a new porcelain crown is the answer to your cosmetic needs.

We are pleased to announce the latest technological addition to our Albuquerque practice. Thanks to the innovative CEREC® milling system, we are now able to design and fabricate permanent porcelain restorations in just one appointment.
This technology can allow you to bypass the need for a temporary crown and streamline your treatment timeline with fewer office visits. Here's how CEREC works:
We can use our iTero scanning equipment to capture detailed images of your teeth and oral structures in just moments. These scans will be uploaded to our restoration design system.
We'll use your scans to plan a design for your permanent crown. Our computerized design software will help our dentists design a restoration with the most precise shape and size for your smile.
Your crown design will be uploaded to our milling machine, which will craft it from a block of medical-grade porcelain. The process can be completed in the time it takes your dentist to prepare your tooth.

Great service from the initial phone call, through the procedure, and the aftercare! I went in with a considerable amount of dentist-anxiety, but Dr. Ollason was incredible...just the right touch to do the extraction gently and without the need for sedation. I think I have finally found "my dentist"!

A small layer of enamel is removed from the treated tooth in order to make room for the crown.
Feeling Nervous About Treatment? Sedation Can Keep You Comfortable
There is minimal pain associated with the dental crown procedure, and we can usually complete it using just local anesthesia. However, we understand that localized numbing may not be enough to guarantee your comfort if you have dental anxiety, tooth or gum sensitivity, or are receiving a crown as part of a more complex treatment, like a root canal. This is why we make sedation available to all our patients.
Choosing sedation will allow you to deeply relax during your treatment and help the time pass much more easily. To learn more about your options for sedation during dental crown treatment or any other procedure, send us a message online or call our Albuquerque practice at:

I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Ollason. I had my first ever weekend dental emergency on Easter Sunday and he was on call. He met me at the office within an hour to help get me out of pain. He was very professional and helpful and on a holiday/Sunday … wow! I’m grateful to have found him.
