It is difficult to understate just how hardworking our teeth are; they tend to be the first thing people notice when we smile and exchange hellos. They chew our food to provide nourishment, but while they chew they are also stimulating our jawbone to keep it strong and provide necessary support to our facial muscles. And that isn’t taking into account all the protection they provide our gums!
With our teeth being so important to our dental health, it is only natural that being able to preserve, restore, and enjoy all the benefits of a complete set of teeth is equally important!
At the office of Mark, A Miely, DDS, we provide only the top quality dental crowns and dental bridges that flawlessly fill out your smile and optimize your oral health. Don’t go another day with an incomplete smile: contact us today!
What Are Dental Crowns?
The crown of your tooth, or tooth crown, is the portion of your tooth above the surface of the gumline. Sometimes a tooth crown can become too damaged for a filling to repair. When this happens, usually, your dentist will recommend a dental crown. A dental crown is a tooth-shaped restoration that is placed over teeth that have lost their strength and structure.
In some places, they are known as “dental caps” because they are routinely placed over the top of a tooth after certain procedures like root canals.
The crown covers the entire visible portion of the tooth so that the tooth roots and remaining structure can be preserved. If you have a tooth crown that is decayed, broken, or weak, a dental crown can restore its original size and shape. We are proud to offer outstanding crown results at our Upper Arlington dentist office.
The Benefits Of Porcelain Crowns
Thanks to the amazing skill of our dental professionals, setting a dental crown rarely takes longer than two hours. This makes crowns a quick and ideal solution for several restorative dentistry treatment options. Especially when you consider dental crowns have a number of attractive benefits for dental patients such as:
- Preserve your roots after damage: Even if the crown portion of your tooth is damaged, your tooth roots are often still intact and able to function healthily as long as the enamel isn’t too badly compromised. Dental crowns restore your tooth while they keep your remaining root structure intact.
- Protect your damaged tooth: The hard white surface of a tooth is called enamel, and it does not heal naturally. This means every chip, crack, or erosion that occurs over your life cannot be fixed, compounding the risks a tooth faces every year: a dental crown or cap offers added protection.
- Improve your smile aesthetic: Each dental crown is crafted to fit and blend in with your natural teeth. Your crown will look like your natural teeth, allowing a damaged, misshapen, or shortened tooth to become cosmetically pleasing.
- Enjoy a full, functional smile: When your teeth are damaged, it can impact your life in many ways. Chewing can become painful, you can slur certain words, and your remaining teeth can shift. But, full functionality can be yours once more with our beautiful dental crowns!

Dental Bridges
Residents of the amazing communities of Upper Arlington, Grandview Heights, Powell, Hilliard, and Dublin, OH come to our practice because they know we don’t believe in a “one size fits all” policy. We want to take the time to understand your oral health needs and dental goals!
This is exactly why we provide beautiful dental bridges in addition to our porcelain dental crowns. Where a dental crown may be the right option to restore a single missing tooth, you may want to consider a dental bridge for a more thorough restoration.
What Is a Dental Bridge?
A dental bridge uses a series of dental crowns to ‘bridge’ a gap left by a missing tooth. Dental bridges can replace one tooth or multiple teeth in a row by using crowns on the adjacent teeth as anchor points. Dr. Miely creates dental bridges that are both cosmetically appealing and highly durable. They are fully customizable and permanent so you can enjoy a full and complete smile for years to come.
