Dental Crowns in Aventura, FL
Custom Dental Crowns at Our Aventura Office
A dental crown is a cap that covers a damaged, weakened, or cosmetically imperfect tooth, restoring its shape, strength, and appearance. At Dental Care Group in Aventura, Dr. Rick Mars has been placing dental crowns for patients in Miami-Dade County for over 55 years, using advanced materials and digital technology to create restorations that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. Our Aventura office at 2797 NE 207th Street offers multiple crown types to match each patient’s specific needs and budget.

When Do You Need a Dental Crown?
Our Aventura team recommends dental crowns for several situations: after root canal therapy to protect the treated tooth, when a tooth is too damaged for a filling, to restore a broken or severely worn tooth, to cover a dental implant, to anchor a dental bridge, or for cosmetic improvement of a misshapen or severely discolored tooth.

The Crown Process at Dental Care Group Aventura
Traditional crowns at our Aventura office require two visits. At the first appointment, Dr. Mars prepares the tooth, takes digital impressions, and places a comfortable temporary crown. Your permanent crown is custom-fabricated at a dental lab and bonded at your second visit, typically two weeks later. For patients who prefer a single visit, our CEREC technology can design and mill a crown in about an hour.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a dental crown cost at Dental Care Group in Aventura?
Crown costs at our Aventura office depend on the material selected and the complexity of the case. Most dental insurance plans cover a significant portion of crown costs when the crown is medically necessary. Dental Care Group provides a detailed estimate during your consultation and offers financing for any balance. Call (305) 935-2797 to schedule.
How long do dental crowns last?
With proper care, dental crowns placed at our Aventura office typically last 10 to 15 years, and many last 20 years or more. Zirconia and metal crowns tend to be the most durable. Regular dental visits, good oral hygiene, and avoiding habits like ice-chewing extend the life of your crown. Learn more about caring for dental crowns.
Does getting a dental crown hurt?
The crown preparation process at our Aventura office is performed under local anesthesia, so you won’t feel pain during the procedure. Some patients experience mild sensitivity for a few days after the temporary crown is placed, which resolves once the permanent crown is bonded. Our team ensures your comfort throughout the process.
What is the difference between a crown and a veneer?
A crown covers the entire tooth and is used when the tooth needs structural reinforcement. A veneer covers only the front surface and is primarily cosmetic. Dr. Mars at our Aventura office recommends crowns when the tooth is damaged or weakened, and veneers when the goal is purely aesthetic improvement on a structurally sound tooth.
Can I get a same-day crown at the Aventura office?
Yes, Dental Care Group in Aventura offers CEREC same-day crowns that are designed and milled in our office during a single appointment. This eliminates the need for a temporary crown and a second visit. Not all cases are ideal for same-day crowns, and Dr. Mars will advise whether CEREC or a lab-fabricated crown is the better option for your situation.
How do I know which type of crown is best for my tooth?
The best crown material depends on the tooth’s location, the amount of biting force it receives, and your aesthetic preferences. Dr. Mars evaluates these factors during your consultation at our Aventura office and recommends the option that provides the best combination of durability, appearance, and value for your specific case.
