Dental Crowns
Improve Your Oral Health with a Dental Crown
If you are suffering from the painful symptoms of a compromised tooth, Dr. Measells can provide relief with prompt treatment at our Vicksburg, MS, dental office. Crowns from our dentistry practice are made of a material stronger than standard porcelain and can improve both the comfort and function of your bite. You can expect your care to include:
Dental crowns from Dr. Jay Measells are made from advanced IPS e.max lithium disilicate glass-ceramic which is a versatile, high-strength material. Stronger than porcelain, this incredible ceramic mimics the light-reflective properties of natural tooth enamel and offers exceptional, lifelike esthetics. Our dentist will color-match your new crown to your surrounding teeth so that it blends in seamlessly with your smile.
A dental crown constructed of IPS e.max is incredibly tough. The state-of-the-art lithium disilicate glass-ceramic lasts longer than porcelain restorations and is engineered to withstand normal biting forces. While not a permanent solution, with proper care and regular checkups with our Vicksburg dentist, your new crown can provide a decade or more of reliable service.
By addressing decay or dental trauma, you can protect your tooth from further damage and may avoid the need for extraction. There is no substitute for natural teeth, but if your tooth is too compromised to save, our dentist can extract your tooth and fill the gap with a dental implant. A dental implant-supported crown is the best solution for replacing a single missing tooth.

Dr. Measells performed repairs to several of my teeth on February 8, 2016. I was delighted with the results. He and his staff are true professionals, though they treat you like family. I could not be more pleased with my experience with him and his team.

How Much Does a Dental Crown Cost?
We Accept Most Insurance Plans
While every case is different depending on the extent of dental care needed, complete treatment for an e.max crown from our Vicksburg dentistry practice generally costs around $1059. This includes treating the affected tooth, taking impressions, placing a temporary crown, and attaching the final restoration.
We accept most major insurance plans and our friendly office staff will happily file all the necessary paperwork with your provider to ensure you take full advantage of your benefits. Since a crown is a restorative dental treatment, depending on your dental insurance, most of the cost may be covered.

A Closer Look at Implant-Supported Crowns
A dental implant-supported crown replaces an entire tooth from the root to the chewing surface. A dental implant is placed into the jaw to replace lost tooth roots, and after it has integrated with the bone tissue, a crown is attached to complete the restoration.
You may be a good candidate for a crown supported by a dental implant if:
- A single tooth is missing or must be extracted
- You have sufficient healthy bone tissue in your jaw
- You are a non-smoker
- You do not have uncontrolled diabetes or another condition that could increase the risk of implant failure
During your consultation, Dr. Measells will evaluate your oral health to determine if an implant is the best solution for you. If you do not qualify for dental implants, he may recommend a dental bridge.
A Popular Restoration
According to the American College of Prosthodontists, approximately 2.3 million implant-supported crowns are made every year.
So what makes this such a popular solution? Here are two very important benefits:
- Dental implants prevent the jaw atrophy that follows tooth loss. Tooth roots provide stimulation to the jawbone that keeps bone tissue from receding and seriously disrupting the balance of your smile. Implants are the only other restorative solution that gives your jaw the stimulation it needs in the absence of tooth roots.
- An implant-supported crown eliminates the need to crown healthy teeth. A traditional dental bridge relies on dental crowns for support. Instead of having to alter two healthy teeth, an implant crown allows you to retain healthy dental tissue.
Whether you suffer from decay, a cracked tooth, or a missing tooth, you can trust our dental practice to provide a crown or another solution that restores your smile and looks totally natural.
