I love this place. They helped me out when I needed my first root canal, they confirmed it, referred me, and I was back within three days to get a crown. I've been a loyal customer ever since.

How Do Dental Crowns Work?
Crowns are dental restorations that fit over and protect a damaged tooth thanks to a simple dental procedure performed by Dr. Goodman. Dentists use them in restorative and cosmetic dental procedures to refresh and protect our greatest asset: a healthy smile. Our tooth restorations are made from various high-quality materials including dental grade porcelain. With care, these strong dental restorations can last 15 years or more.
Types of Dental Crowns
Dr. Goodman offers traditional and implant-supported crowns at his Kansas City family dentistry. These strong, long-lasting restorations are made from top-grade metal, porcelain, zirconia, or porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM). Dr. Goodman will discuss which type of restoration will work best for your oral health needs.
This prosthetic tooth fits over a damaged tooth. Dr. Goodman will remove unhealthy tissue from the damaged tooth so that the new crown can completely cover it down to the gum line. This restores the look, feel, and chewing function to a tooth that was in danger of being extracted.
The Treatment Process
Placing a traditional crown typically requires two visits.
The Traditional Crown Treatment Timeline
If you need implant-supported crowns due to missing teeth, your treatment will include surgery to place the dental implants in your jawbone, check-ups during healing, and a final appointment for crown placement. Although Dr. Goodman will refer you to an oral surgeon for this procedure, he will follow your progress from day one. This procedure takes several months to complete.

Dr. Goodman, your esteemed dentist, will perform a comprehensive examination of your teeth, gums, jaw joints, and bite. Any damaged teeth will be assessed, and precise x-rays and imaging will be taken.
Prepping

Precise impressions are now made of your teeth. These are sent to our trusted dental lab, where your high-quality tooth restorations will be created to Dr. Goodman's exact specifications. The process may only take a couple of weeks.
Temporary Crown
Dr. Goodman will place protective temporary crowns on your affected teeth so you can chew and smile. He'll give you some guidelines to follow so you don't damage your temporaries.
Final Restoration
Dr. Goodman will remove your temporary crowns and securely bond your natural-looking permanent crowns into place. He'll make sure each crown fits perfectly with your bite, jaw, and gum line and that the shade blends seamlessly with your existing teeth. Now get on out there and show Kansas City your new smile!

I had an amazing experience with Dr. Goodman and his staff. I needed an extensive “smile makeover” and traveled a long way for their services. This was one of the best decisions I have ever made. The team is top notch and they made me feel like part of the family. My visits were pleasant and totally pain free. I highly recommend them. I have a smile to be proud of now and you can too.
