Dental Crowns
A decayed, damaged, or discolored tooth can cause pain, interfere with chewing and speaking, and make you feel self-conscious about smiling.
Dr. Gregory Bauer of Bear Creek Family Dental in Lakewood, Colorado, provides lifelike dental crowns to protect damaged teeth.
Why are dental crowns placed by Dr. Bauer such an effective solution?
The Benefits of Dental Crowns
A crown is a cap-shaped restoration that fits completely over a tooth, covering dental issues and protecting the tooth from further damage. When placed by an expert dentist like Dr. Bauer, crowns provide a number of benefits, including:
Repair and Protect
Dr. Bauer can use crowns to repair teeth affected by decay, infection, worn enamel, or injury. These restorations protect compromised teeth from further damage, preventing the need for costly tooth extractions.
Long-Lasting Solution
Our dental crowns are crafted from strong materials designed to withstand the daily wear and tear of chewing and speaking. With regular check-ups and proper dental care, including brushing and flossing, your crown could last over 10 years.
Natural-Looking Results
We fabricate our crowns from advanced materials like high-grade porcelain, which mimics the look and feel of natural teeth. This means your restoration will blend seamlessly into your smile for incredibly realistic results.
Replace Missing Teeth
Crowns can support a dental bridge or attach to dental implants to replace missing teeth, complete your smile, and restore your oral health.
A Look at the Procedure
This is the basic crown placement procedure performed by Dr. Bauer at his state-of-the-art practice in Lakewood, Colorado. In some cases, he and his team are able to remove dental decay with the advanced Epic Hygiene™ diode laser system. This FDA-approved laser precisely vaporizes dental tissue with less bleeding, discomfort, and infection risks than traditional methods.

I have never found a dentistry more capable, friendly, and personable. The staff is exceptional, outshined only by Dr. Bauer himself, who offers a gentle approach to whatever task at hand --- whether just routine exam, or replacing a filling or crown...
View On GoogleCrowns Offered by Dr. Bauer
Dr. Bauer of Lakewood, CO, offers crowns made from various materials, including gold and high-grade porcelain. Of the two, tooth-colored porcelain tends to be more popular. Here's why:
- Porcelain crowns can be customized to match the shade and color of your existing teeth. Gold restorations have a shiny, metallic look that is easily noticed, even in the back of your mouth.
- Although rare, some patients can develop severe allergic reactions to metallic tooth restorations such as gold crowns.
- In truth, gold crowns can last for decades and may cost less than porcelain crowns, but many of Dr. Bauer's patients are willing to pay a bit more to receive natural-looking, durable porcelain restorations.
Porcelain Crowns are a Long-Lasting Treatment Option
How Is a Dental Crown Placed?
It usually takes two visits with our dentist for the dental crown process to be completed. A numbing anesthetic will be administered at the beginning of each appointment so that you will feel very little to no discomfort.

You Practice Good Oral Hygiene
While dental crowns are resistant to decay and stains, your natural teeth are not. After receiving a crown, you will still need to brush and floss regularly and visit our Lakewood practice for scheduled exams and cleanings.
You Have Enough Healthy Tissue to Support a Crown
Some teeth are too damaged to save. If root canal treatment or other forms of dentistry cannot preserve enough of a tooth, Dr. Bauer may recommend extracting the tooth and placing a dental implant or bridge.
How Dr. Bauer Uses Crowns to Replace Missing Teeth
This oral appliance is made from lifelike artificial teeth supported on each side by dental crowns. It is a great option for filling a gap in your smile created by one to three consecutive missing teeth.
Only missing one tooth? A crown supported by a dental implant offers advantages like no changes to healthy teeth and protection against jawbone atrophy. Dr. Bauer will place your dental crown after an oral surgeon performs implant surgery.
