Dental Crowns

Dental crowns have existed for 2500 years, since the first crowns were placed in ancient Italy, prior to the time of the Roman Empire. Rest assured, dentistry has come a long way since then!

Crowns are porcelain, porcelain fused to metal, or precious metal restorations that snugly fit over the portion of a tooth that extends above the gum line. You may need a crown to repair extensive tooth decay or damage. Expect the procedure to require two dental visits. Dr. Thompson will assess your unique situation, then suggest the best type of crown for you.  

Call Dr. Thompson’s office to schedule your dental visit, and we will answer all of your questions about crowns. You can also read the crowns article in our patient library. Our conveniently located Collierville office serves patients from Germantown, Olive Branch, and surrounding areas.
