Most offices send your crown to a lab and ask you to wait weeks. We design, mill, and fit yours in a single appointment — with the treating dentist in control of every decision, start to finish.

Getting a crown should be straightforward. Instead, most patients describe the same frustrating experience: a long appointment, a mouthful of impression material, a temporary crown that doesn't feel right, and then weeks of waiting — only to come back and find out the color is off, or the fit needs adjusting.
That frustration is what drove us to change everything about how we do crowns. Today, the dentist designs your crown, in our office, while you're in the chair — and in most cases, you leave the same day with a permanent restoration that fits exactly as it should.
At Tanglewood Dental Associates, we design, craft, and place your crown ourselves giving you better quality, fewer visits, and total peace of mind.
At most offices, the dentist takes an impression and sends it to an external lab. A technician who has never met you builds the crown — and the dentist reviews it weeks later. At Tanglewood, Dr. Lawnin designs your crown himself, next to you, using our in-house digital workflow. He selects the material, evaluates the color, and makes every decision specific to your tooth, your bite, and your situation.
In a traditional workflow, a problem with the crown isn't discovered until you come back weeks later — and fixing it means starting over and waiting again. Because we control the entire process in-house, we catch and correct any issue in real time. What would take three to four weeks elsewhere takes five minutes here.
When you send a crown to an outside lab, you have no way of knowing what materials they're using — premium name-brand ceramics or cheaper generics. At Tanglewood, we only use ceramics from the most rigorously researched, well-established manufacturers. We know exactly what's going in your mouth, because we put it there ourselves.
We take a precise 3D digital scan of your tooth. No goo, no gagging, no guesswork. The digital model gives us a level of accuracy that physical impressions simply can't match.
Dr. Lawnin designs your crown on the digital model next to you, in real time. You can see the process, ask questions, and understand exactly what decisions are being made and why. A more educated patient gets better care.
Your crown is milled from a solid block of premium ceramic, right here in our office. No shipping. No third party. No wondering what material ends up in your mouth.
Your permanent crown is tried in, checked for fit and bite, adjusted if needed, and cemented — all in the same appointment. You leave with the real thing.
Many individuals with complex dental issues struggle to find comprehensive, personalized solutions that effectively restore both the appearance and function of their smile. They often face fragmented, impersonal care that relies on outdated technology and invasive techniques, leading to sub optimal results.

We're proud to be a trusted part of our community. Hear directly from our patients about what sets Tanglewood Dental Associates apart.
In our case, yes — and in several ways they're better. Because the dentist controls the entire design process in-house, there's no communication gap between clinician and technician. We select the exact ceramic, control the fit, and catch any issues before you leave. The difference isn't the technology — it's who is operating it and whether they have full ownership of the outcome.
Color matching is one of the most common failure points in traditional crown workflows — and one of the main reasons we brought the entire process in-house. Dr. Lawnin evaluates shade and aesthetics himself, in person, with full control over the ceramic selection. If something isn't right, we correct it before you leave the chair. Not three weeks later.
Longevity depends on the quality of materials, the precision of the fit, and how well the bite is balanced — all of which we address directly with our in-house workflow. We use only name-brand, well-researched ceramics and pay particular attention to bite balance, which is the most common cause of premature crown failure. We can't promise permanence, but we do everything in our control to maximize it.
The procedure is done under local anaesthetic, and we don't begin until we're certain you're fully comfortable. A calm, relaxed patient gets better care — so if you have anxiety about dental procedures, tell us. We have options, including nitrous oxide, to help make the appointment easier.
Crown pricing depends on the tooth, the complexity of preparation, and the ceramic selected. We'll give you a clear, complete cost picture before anything begins — no surprises. We offer flexible, interest-free payment plans so treatment doesn't require a large upfront commitment.
