Protect and Restore Your Teeth with High-Quality Dental Crowns
A damaged or compromised tooth can affect how you chew, smile, and feel day to day. At Nashville Restorative Dentistry, our goal is to restore comfort and function with crowns that look, feel, and behave like natural teeth. Using advanced digital technology and durable, esthetic materials, we create restorations that seamlessly blend into your smile.
If you need a dental crown in Franklin or the greater Nashville area, Dr. Ryan Jones and Dr. Caleb Estes provide solutions that prioritize longevity, appearance, and overall oral health.
Why you might need a dental crown
A dental crown is a custom-made restoration that covers the entire visible portion of a tooth, reinforcing it when normal filling materials would not be strong enough.
We may recommend a crown to:
- Strengthen a tooth weakened by a large cavity, fracture, or root canal therapy.
- Restore a tooth with significant structural loss.
- Replace a missing tooth as part of a dental implant or bridge.
- Improve the appearance of a discolored, worn, or misshapen tooth.
Our approach is conservative: we only recommend a crown when it’s truly the best option for long-term health and stability. When a crown is needed, our digital workflow allows us to design it with precision so it fits comfortably and blends naturally with your existing teeth.

How same-day dental crowns work
For many patients, efficiency matters. With CEREC single-visit crowns, we can scan, design, mill, and place your crown in one appointment at our Franklin office.
Here’s how the process works:
- Digital scan – no impressions, no mess
- Custom design – we tailor the crown’s shape and fit using advanced CAD/CAM software
- In-office milling – your crown is created from a strong ceramic block
- Final placement – the crown is permanently cemented the same day, no temporaries
Patients appreciate same-day crowns because they eliminate the need for a temporary and a second visit. And while speed is convenient, these restorations are also highly esthetic and durable.

What affects the cost of a dental crown?
Crown fees vary because each tooth and clinical situation is unique. In the Nashville and Franklin area, most high-quality ceramic crowns typically range from $1,400 – $2,200, depending on the material used, the tooth being restored, and the complexity of the case.
Several factors can influence your total cost:
- Material choice – high-strength ceramics, zirconia, or porcelain layered for front-tooth esthetics, each has different characteristics and fees.
- Additional treatment – if a tooth requires a buildup, root canal therapy, or other preparatory work, this affects the overall cost.
- Tooth location – front-tooth crowns require more customization for natural esthetics, and therefore may carry a higher fee than crowns on back teeth.
Before any treatment begins, we’ll review the full cost with you, explain material and design options, and help you understand how insurance or financing may apply. Most patients consider a crown a worthwhile long-term investment because it protects the tooth from further damage and helps prevent more extensive treatment in the future.
Restoring your smile with confidence
If you’re dealing with a cracked, decayed, weakened, or uncosmetic tooth, addressing it sooner often leads to better outcomes. At Nashville Restorative Dentistry, we offer both traditional and same-day crowns so you can regain comfort, function, and confidence with a restoration built to last.
To schedule an appointment, call (615) 640-8494 or book a visit online. We welcome patients from Franklin, Nashville, Brentwood, Cool Springs, Nolensville, Thompson’s Station, Spring Hill, and surrounding communities.
