Why We Only Do Traditional Crowns
The short answer is: we will only do for you what we do for ourselves and our family members. Period. No compromises.
From what we have seen, the crowns produced with this newer technology do not have the same high quality as handcrafted, custom-made crowns, which look, feel, and work like natural teeth.
At Park West Dental, we use the highest quality, tooth-colored materials to create crowns, and our lab is equipped with computers that aid us when needed. Your Idaho Falls dental professionals are personally so confident that our traditional crowns will hold up to almost anything that we warranty them against breakage for life!
As long as you come see us for regular cleanings and do what we ask, we will replace the crown at no cost any time. We can’t warranty the tooth under the crown, but our Idaho Falls dental patients can trust that they are receiving the absolute best care that can be had.
