Protect and Strengthen Damaged Teeth with Precision-Crafted Crowns
When a tooth becomes weakened by decay, fracture, or extensive dental work, a dental crown offers both strength and aesthetic restoration. At Aesthetic Smiles in Meridian, ID, we provide expertly designed crowns that restore the shape, integrity, and appearance of your natural tooth—without compromising your comfort or confidence. Whether you're dealing with a broken molar, a root canal-treated tooth, or a severely worn bite, our team customizes your crown to blend seamlessly with your existing smile.
What Is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown is a protective cap that completely covers a damaged tooth to restore its function and structure. Crowns can be made from porcelain, ceramic, metal, or a combination of materials—depending on the tooth’s location and your cosmetic goals. At Aesthetic Smiles, we prioritize durable, lifelike crowns that fit comfortably and look completely natural.
When Do You Need a Crown?
Dental crowns may be recommended to:
- Repair a cracked or broken tooth
- Protect a tooth after a root canal
- Cover and support a tooth with a large filling
- Restore a worn-down tooth
- Anchor a dental bridge
- Enhance the appearance of a misshapen or discolored tooth
- Complete a dental implant
Our Crown Process: Precision Meets Efficiency
At Aesthetic Smiles, we streamline the crown experience with a modern approach that prioritizes both quality and convenience.
Step 1: Evaluation & Planning
Dr. Wade Pilling or Dr. Jordan Pilling will conduct a full exam and use digital imaging to assess the tooth’s condition. If a crown is appropriate, we’ll plan your restoration with precision to ensure optimal function and aesthetics.
Step 2: Tooth Preparation
The affected tooth is gently reshaped to make space for the crown. Impressions are taken to design a custom fit.
Step 3: Crown Placement
Once your crown is ready, it’s permanently bonded and adjusted for a flawless fit. Many cases qualify for same-day crowns—thanks to our advanced in-house technology.

Will my dental crown look natural?
Yes. We use high-quality materials and precise shade matching to ensure your crown looks indistinguishable from your natural teeth.
Are crowns covered by insurance?
Many dental insurance plans cover part of the cost of crowns, especially when used for restorative purposes. Our team will help you review your benefits.
Is it painful to get a crown?
The procedure is typically painless. We use local anesthesia, and sedation options are available for added comfort.
How do I care for a dental crown?
Maintain good oral hygiene with brushing, flossing, and regular dental visits. Avoid chewing hard objects and sticky foods to prolong your crown’s lifespan.
