Dental Crowns in Sioux Falls, SD
Restore Your Smile's Strength and Beauty with a Small, Friendly Office
Whether you are dealing with a cracked tooth, a large cavity that fillings can no longer fix, or a tooth that has recently undergone root canal therapy, a dental crown offers a reliable, long-term solution. A dental crown—often called a “cap”—completely covers and protects a damaged tooth, restoring its natural shape, size, and strength.
At Paulson Dental, we know that facing restorative dental work can feel a bit overwhelming. When you choose us to repair your smile, you are stepping into a warm, comfortable space designed to make you feel completely at ease.
The Paulson Dental Difference: Real Care from a Small, Local Office
Paulson Dental has served the Sioux Falls community for over 10 years. Our team is professional and dedicated to making sure you feel at home the moment you walk through our doors.
We operate out of a charming, small brick building right on the corner of 33rd and Western, close to Augustana College. Because we choose to maintain a small staff and a quaint, patient-first environment, we truly focus on you and your family.
The Same Team Every Visit
You won’t have to retell your dental history or re-explain a sensitive spot to a different provider every six months. Dr. Jill Paulson and our dedicated hygienists and assistants focus on one patient at a time.
A Gentle Touch
We keep detailed notes on your personal preferences and comfort levels so that your procedure is as low-stress and pain-free as possible.
What is a Dental Crown and When Do You Need One?
A dental crown acts as a protective shield for a compromised tooth. It replaces the entire visible portion of the tooth down to the gumline, encasing it to prevent further cracking, breaking, or decay.
Dr. Paulson typically recommends a dental crown for patients experiencing:
- A Cracked or Fractured Tooth: To hold the tooth structure together and stop pain while chewing.
- Advanced Tooth Decay: When a cavity is too large for a standard cavity filling to safely support the tooth.
- After a Root Canal: To protect the remaining fragile tooth structure from fracturing under daily pressure.
- Cosmetic Enhancements: To cover severely misshapen, broken, or permanently discolored teeth.
What to Expect During Your Dental Crown Visit
We believe in keeping your dental care simple, comfortable, and transparent. The process of receiving a custom crown typically requires two comfortable visits to our Sioux Falls office.
Preparation & Impression
During your first visit, Dr. Jill Paulson will gently prepare the tooth by removing any decay and shaping it so the crown can fit seamlessly over it. We will then take highly precise impressions or digital scans to ensure your permanent crown matches the exact bite and color of your surrounding teeth. Before you leave, we will place a comfortable temporary crown to protect your tooth.
Final Placement
Once our trusted dental laboratory custom-crafts your permanent porcelain or ceramic crown, you will return to our office. Dr. Paulson will remove the temporary crown, check the fit, shape, and color alignment of your new crown, and permanently bond it into place. You will walk out with a fully restored smile that looks and feels entirely natural.
Simple & Transparent Billing for Your Care
We believe in being completely upfront about care and costs. If you have questions regarding the cost of your dental crown or your specific insurance coverage, our front desk team is happy to help you figure it out so there are no surprises.
We accept most major dental insurance plans and will happily file the claims for you. For any remaining balances, we also offer secure and Easy Online Bill Pay for your convenience.
