The Advantage of Our On-Site Dental Lab
One of the biggest benefits of choosing Bensalem Smiles Dental Care for crowns is our on-site dental lab. Instead of sending work out and waiting longer for updates or adjustments, much of the process happens right here in our office.
This allows for:
- Faster turnaround times
- Better communication between the doctor and the lab
- A more precise fit and natural appearance
For Dr. Kvas, this close collaboration matters. It helps her make sure your crown does not just protect your tooth, but also feels right when you bite and smile.
When a Dental Crown May Be the Right Choice
A crown is often recommended when a tooth needs more coverage and support than a filling can offer. It helps protect the tooth from further damage while improving how it looks and functions.
Many patients need a crown when they:
- Have a cracked or broken tooth
- Have a large cavity or an old filling
- Need protection after a root canal
- Feel pain when chewing on a weak tooth
- Want to improve the shape or appearance of a worn tooth
Dr. Kvas takes time to explain why a crown is recommended and how it can help you avoid bigger problems later.

What to Expect When You Get a Dental Crown
Getting a crown is a common treatment, but it still helps to know what the process looks like. At Bensalem Smiles Dental Care, we keep you informed at every step and focus on making the experience smooth and comfortable.
Step 1: Consultation and Evaluation
Your visit starts with an exam and a conversation about what you are feeling. Dr. Kvas will look at the tooth, take digital images if needed, and explain whether a crown is the best way to protect it.
If you have pain, a broken tooth, or an old filling that no longer feels secure, we will talk through what is happening and what your next steps should be.
Step 2: Tooth Preparation and Impressions
If a crown is the right choice, the tooth is carefully shaped so the crown can fit securely. We then take detailed impressions or digital scans to guide the design of your custom restoration.
Every detail matters, including fit, bite, and how the crown will look next to your natural teeth.
Step 3: Temporary Crown
While your final crown is being made, a temporary crown may be placed to protect the tooth.
This helps you:
- Keep the tooth covered
- Maintain normal appearance
- Avoid extra sensitivity
- Test how your bite feels before final placement
Step 4: Final Placement and Bite Check
Once your crown is ready, Dr. Kvas will place it, check the fit, and make sure your bite feels even and comfortable. Small refinements can make a big difference, and we take time to get that right.
Before you leave, we will explain how to care for your crown and what to expect as you get used to it.
