Dental Crowns & Bridges in Overland Park
It’s surprising how much a missing or damaged tooth can affect your life. In addition to leaving an unsightly spot in your smile, it can make it difficult to enjoy meals or even to speak clearly. Fortunately, our dentists can repair your smile with custom dental crowns and bridges in Overland Park!
A dental crown is an incredibly versatile dental restoration. It can:
- Repair a cracked or broken tooth, saving the damaged tooth from extraction
- Replace a missing tooth, as part of a dental bridge or when used with a dental implant
- Fix cavities that are too large for a filling
- Protect teeth from further damage
- Seal a tooth following a root canal procedure
- Cover cosmetic imperfections such as a stained tooth

Is a dental crown right for me?
Crowns can be made of many materials, including porcelain, zirconia, and ceramic. We’ll help determine which one is right for your smile. If a crown isn’t the right fix, we may suggest another restoration. For instance, an inlay or an onlay works well for a cavity that is too big for a filling yet not large enough for a crown. Our dentists will use some of the latest dental technology to assess your condition, including digital X-rays. When possible, we’ll minimize the impact on healthy teeth. For instance, we can secure a dental bridge to implants to avoid drilling into adjacent teeth.

Our Same-Day Crown Technology
At Blue Valley Smiles, we understand that damaged teeth can quickly compromise your quality of life. In the past, the only option for repair used to be traditional dental crowns. However, with our access to CEREC® technology, it’s possible to restore strength, stability, and function to any tooth that is decayed, fractured, or damaged on the same day. CEREC technology uses Computer-Aided Design (CAD)/Computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) to accurately and quickly create restorations in a single appointment, so you don’t have to wait to enjoy life again!
