Dental Crowns, Lancaster PA
Most dentistry looks like dentistry. Our goal is to provide dentistry that is undetectable. We replace existing crowns and fillings with restorations that look and feel like your natural teeth.Where damage to a person’s teeth is extreme and may be beyond repair, we can use porcelain or porcelain “pasted-on-gold” crowns to make the smile appear like new. This is an extremely reliable technique for repairing the most severe dental problems, even permanently replacing missing teeth to offer a complete smile and a functional bite. We are renowned for the quality of our work and the fantastic changes we make for people using this technology. These treatments are used for a long-lasting correction of major dental problems. It is usual for these treatments to last for 20 to 30 years, which is as close to permanent as dental treatment can get.
How long does it take to fit a dental crown?
Fitting a crown requires at least two visits to our office. Initially, we will remove decay, shape the tooth, and fit it with a temporary crown of either plastic or metal.
On the subsequent visit, we will remove the temporary crown and then fit and adjust the final crown. Finally, we will cement the crown into place and you have a new beautiful looking tooth.
Key Benefits of Dental Crowns:
- Replaces missing teeth.
- Offers support to misshapen teeth or broken teeth.
- Looks completely natural.
- Repairs smile and functional chewing problems.
What are the capabilities of crowns?
Crown and Bridges are very reliable solutions for major dental problems caused by accidents, diseases, or wear and tear. Major problems can usually be corrected using these techniques. Materials used in these repairs are either high-grade porcelain or porcelain bonded to gold. A higher strength of the porcelain and gold materials is recommended to treat the most serious dental problems. In instances where damage has occurred resulting in the loss of teeth, where teeth have broken away through excessive wear, or tooth damage caused by old fillings breaking down, crowns and/or Bridges can be used as a long-term solution.
Many people have unexplained pain from filled back teeth that is are usually due to hairline cracks in the chewing part of the tooth. Placing crowns on these teeth relieves the pain and allows a return of full dental function. In front teeth, older fillings can both weaken the teeth and cause appearance problems due to staining or chipping. Porcelain crowns and Bridges are suitable in cases where porcelain veneers are not. In teeth with root canal fillings, crowns can prevent breakage.

I needed some serious reconstruction of my front teeth and I wouldn't have trusted anyone else with ensuring that the result looked like my natural smile. Dr. Weierbach is an artist and a wizard. He's so skilled and cares so deeply about the result, it's easy to put your trust in his work. He simply doesn't quit until the result is perfect...and my new smile far far far exceeds anything I could have imagined. Absolutely positively the best dentist I've ever been to!

Having been a patient at many dental practices over the years, I hope this is the last practice. The staff are professional, courteous, and communicate everything with clarity and compassion for a patient's concerns. Best of all, they somehow manage to make a dental appointment fun and interesting.

This is the nicest dental office I have ever been to. I’ve always dreaded going to the dentist, but when I walked in the door, I knew right away this was the right place for me. The office itself is beautiful and feels and looks like a spa! Everyone I interacted with was extremely friendly and knowledgeable and they were all able to answer my questions. Dr. Genetti immediately put me at ease. Right away she asked me about my story and concerns and she really took the time to listen to what I had to say, which is so rare! At each appointment, I never had to guess what was happening because everything was explained so clearly. Dr. Genetti is an extremely consciousness and kind dentist and I could tell from the first exam what a confident and knowledgeable practitioner she is. The team works together so well and you can tell how much they care for their patients and each other. I was relaxed throughout my whole treatment because I felt I was in such good hands. I actually look forward to going to each visit. Thank you, Dr. Genetti!

I have been to MANY dentists, periodontist and surgeons over the years. Thus office, doctor and staff are by far the best ! The attention to detail, the state of the art equipment and the atmosphere of this office are all a 10+! Just had a crown put on (I have several from previous dentist) it looks and feels EXACTLY like my tooth! Shape, color match and feel! I left feeling like I was at the dentist of the rock stars!

We have been seeing Dr. Weierbach since the 1980's. Our entire family has been patients there. A friend of ours had her front tooth broken off in a floor hockey game. She went to Weierbach for emergency treatment. The crown he made for her was perfect! She still tells me about the dentists she has seen since then that didn't recognize her front tooth had a crown! Weierbach does beautiful work...sort of a dental artist!

I definitely would recommend this practice. Before coming here I didn't want to smile. After whitening and crowns I can now smile without embarrassment.

Not a day goes by that I don’t count my good fortune in becoming Dr. Weierbach’s patient. His excellent work is more evident to me with each year that passes. While an improved appearance is the clear objective, learning about optimum dental heath from Dr. Weierbach and his staff is a valuable benefit that contributes to my quality of life. The results are lasting, and so is my appreciation. Sincere thanks to the entire Weierbach team for your encouragement and ongoing patient education, and for your resolve to achieve the best possible results during my twenty plus years of dental care with you.
