Dr. Lewis-Heywood is great! I made an appointment online one evening and got a call back from her within 10 mins. I was able to go in the next day to get my tooth fixed. I'm so grateful for her quick response! Having tooth pain is no joke. I will be recommending her to everyone I know!

With all of the anxiety and fear I have had with my teeth, I don't think I could have found another person better to rid me of it like Barbara has. I'm extremely excited to see what she is able to do for me.

What Exactly Is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown is a protective cap that totally covers the tooth. Ours are color-matched to your teeth so that they blend in seamlessly with your smile. Because they are metal-free, you won't have the telltale grey line that can appear when dental crowns are made with a metal substructure.
Dental crowns are a proven method for protecting teeth weakened by trauma or decay. Our dentist, Dr. Lewis-Heywood, specializes in beautiful metal-free crowns using porcelain. She favors porcelain for its cosmetic benefits, namely the ability to beautifully mimic the translucency of natural tooth enamel. Her technique allows the restoration to visually disappear among your natural teeth, protecting your tooth while restoring your smile.
While a crown is a preferred method to repair a damaged tooth, the crown needs a sufficient amount of healthy structure to support it. If your tooth is too damaged, then it may need to be extracted. In this situation, the dentist may recommend a dental implant to restore your smile.
