If you seek a general dentist who provides crowns in Lincoln, NE, look no further. At Timothy Calkins, DDS Family Dental Care, we offer a variety of restorative dental services to ensure that your smile is at its best.
Crowns may become necessary for a variety of reasons, although some are more common than others. For instance, one common reason for getting a crown is having a root canal.
When a tooth reaches advanced stages of decay, the bacteria may infect the inner part of the tooth. To remedy this situation, your dentist cleans out the infected area and fills it. Although this prevents pain and removes tooth decay, it may also weaken the overall structure of the tooth.
As a result, crowns often follow root canals to ensure the tooth remains intact and strong enough to withstand pressure from chewing. Here are some other common issues that lead to crown placement:
Any time your tooth’s structure becomes weakened or vulnerable, it’s always better to remedy the situation with a reinforced cover (or dental crown) before more damage occurs.
Dr. Timothy Calkins, DDS provides crowns to patients in Lincoln, NE and surrounding areas. As a general dentist, Dr. Calkins has the experience and knowledge to determine if you need a crown or other restorative dental treatment.
Because crowns are meant to redistribute pressure and reinforce a tooth’s strength, we craft them to look and feel just like your own teeth. We’ll craft a crown that matches your teeth in size, shape, and color.

“I have been a patient of Dr. Calkins for over 20 years. All of my kids have gone to him since they were toddlers. Very conservative in his approach, never tries to do an expensive treatment if it isn’t necessary. Great at giving numbing shots, can’t even feel the needle.”
“I’ve been going to Dr. Calkins for several years and will continue to do so. Tim is very professional, knowledgeable, thorough, and patient. I very much appreciate the time he takes to educate me about dental health, to show me my x-ray, or to explain a procedure. I highly recommend Dr. Calkins and his excellent team.”
