Dental Crowns in Bellevue, WA
Our expert team at Brookside Dental helps you achieve a beautiful, healthy smile with a personalized treatment plan.
What Are Dental Crowns?
A reliable way to protect and restore damaged teeth.
Dental crowns are custom restorations that cover the entire tooth to restore strength, shape, and appearance. We use crowns to protect teeth weakened by decay, cracks, or large fillings. Each crown acts like a protective cap, sealing the tooth and helping prevent further damage while restoring comfortable function.
At Brookside Dental, we design each custom crown to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth and support healthy gums.
Using advanced technology, including CEREC® same-day crowns, we often provide same-day dental crowns so you can restore your smile in a single visit without waiting weeks for a dental laboratory.

Dental crowns are commonly recommended for patients with damaged teeth, cracked enamel, or decay who still have healthy roots and gums. They may be used after a large cavity or filling to help prevent further damage. We evaluate your mouth, bite, and overall oral health to determine the most appropriate treatment.
Crowns can also support a dental bridge, restore a dental implant, or play a role in a broader treatment plan. Our goal is to restore function, protect your teeth, and help your smile remain healthy for years to come.
If you are unsure whether a crown is right for you, we can walk you through your options and explain what may benefit your teeth long term.

The Process of Getting Dental Crowns
Simple, efficient, and patient focused.
- First step: Evaluation And Planning
Your visit begins with an exam and digital impressions. Dr. Vitkovic or Dr. Kitts evaluate your teeth, gums, and bite to determine the right restoration and treatment plan.
- Second Step: Design and Creation
Using CEREC CAD design, we create your custom crown in our Bellevue office. A milling machine crafts the crown from durable ceramic materials, helping ensure a precise fit, natural appearance, and long-lasting result.
- Third Step: Placement and Protection
Once complete, we place your crown, confirm the fit and appearance, and secure it in place. You leave with a permanent crown designed to protect your tooth and look natural.
