Dental Benefits Program

For patients without insurance, our no-cost Dental Benefits Program offers discounted services to help bring the cost of treatment down.

Financing

We also offer financing through CareCredit® for patients who are interested in managing out-of-pocket expenses. Financing options ranging from six to 24 months feature no interest charges for patients that qualify. 

Crowns Also Offer Incredible Aesthetic Benefits

Dental crowns aren’t just for repairs. They can dramatically improve the appearance of your smile, too. These restorations are a powerful tool in cosmetic dentistry, offering both beauty and durability.

If you have a tooth that’s worn down, uneven, or severely discolored, a crown may provide a more complete and longer-lasting result than treatments like bonding or whitening. Unlike surface-level fixes, crowns fully cover the tooth, creating a more natural shape and color.

Contact our dentist to see if a new porcelain crown could be the right fit for your cosmetic goals.

Feeling Nervous About Treatment? Sedation Can Keep You Comfortable

Most patients only need local anesthesia for a dental crown because the procedure involves minimal discomfort. But if you have dental anxiety, sensitive teeth or gums, or need a crown after a more involved treatment like a root canal, local numbing alone may not be enough.

That’s why we offer sedation options for any patient who wants extra support. Sedation can help you stay calm and comfortable throughout your visit, making the experience feel faster and more manageable.

To explore sedation for your dental crown or another procedure, contact our team serving Albuquerque, Rio Rancho, and the East Mountains.

Dr. Ollason is the best dentist I have ever went to. I used to be so afraid and nervous to go to the dentist, and his approach and expert care changed all that for me. The dental assistance are amazing too! This is the best dental office in the city.

The Dental Crown Treatment Process

A small layer of enamel is removed from the treated tooth in order to make room for the crown.

Examination

Dr. Ollason will examine your teeth in order to develop the best solution to improve your dental health. He can identify any issues and communicate the best plan of action to restore your smile.

Repair

Before he can place a temporary crown or permanent crown, our dentist will treat any teeth that need attention.

For example, you may need decayed portions removed or, in more severe cases, require a root canal before proceeding.

Digital Scan

Using advanced dental tools, our dentist will take digital impressions of your tooth and surrounding teeth to ensure your dental crown fits perfectly in your smile. This allows you to skip the mess of traditional impression material.

Temporary Crown

Your impressions will be sent to a trusted local dental lab that can craft your permanent crown in just a few days. The lab technicians can customize the shade of your crown so it matches your natural teeth. In the meantime, Dr. Ollason will place a temporary crown over your tooth while your custom permanent restoration is being crafted.

Permanent Crown

Before securing your permanent dental crown in place, any necessary final adjustments will be made so that you can enjoy a perfect fit.

By the end of your appointment, your new crown should feel, function, and appear just like your surrounding teeth.

Today was my second visit to NMSC. It's been a really positive experience. They take you straight back for your appointment, so there is no extended wait. The hygienists are very nice and thorough. You can tell they care a lot for their patients. The dentists are very thorough and non-hurried in doing their assessments. This is one of the best dental practices where I have received care and I highly recommend it.
