Why Patients
Choose Dr. Brooks
for Dental Crowns
A crown should look and feel like a real tooth. At the Edmond, OK, office of Tim Brooks, DDS, every crown starts with a precise digital scan and ends with a restoration matched to your bite, your shade, and your smile.
Crowns Designed From 3D Scans
Dr. Brooks uses iTero® 3D scanning and digital X-rays to map your tooth in fine detail. There are no messy impression trays, and the digital design helps your crown fit your bite precisely the first time.
A Crown Only When You Need One
As a fee-for-service practice, we answer to you, not an insurance company. Dr. Brooks recommends a crown only when it is truly the best fix. When a smaller repair will serve you better, he says so.
From Root Canal to Crown
Many offices send you elsewhere when a tooth needs a root canal before it can be crowned. Our dentist in Edmond, OK, performs nearly everything in-house, so your whole treatment happens in one chair with one doctor.

How a Crown Restores a
Damaged Tooth
A dental crown is a custom cap that covers a damaged tooth from the gumline up, restoring its shape and strength while protecting the natural structure underneath. Dr. Brooks may recommend a crown for a tooth that is:
- Cracked, chipped, or fractured
- Worn down from grinding or age
- Weakened by a large cavity or a failing filling
- Recently treated with a root canal
Most crowns at our Edmond, OK, office are crafted from zirconia or porcelain fused to ceramic. Both materials hold up to years of chewing and can be shaded to blend in with the teeth around them. If a tooth is missing entirely, an implant-supported crown can replace both the root and the visible tooth in one restoration.
Zirconia is prized for its strength, which makes it a dependable choice for molars and other back teeth that handle the heaviest chewing. Porcelain fused to ceramic leans toward a brighter, more translucent look, so it often suits the teeth that show most when you smile. During your consultation, Dr. Brooks weighs the location of the tooth, your bite, and the look you want, then recommends the material that fits your case best.
Dental Crowns Cost and Financing
The cost of a crown depends on the material, the tooth's location, and whether other treatment, such as a root canal, is needed first. After your exam at our Edmond, OK, office, our team walks you through your cost before any work begins. You receive a clear, written estimate up front, so there are no surprise fees added later.
Our practice takes several measures so quality care stays within reach. We work with most PPO insurance plans and are in-network with Delta Dental. For costs insurance does not cover, we offer flexible financing options that can divide your treatment into predictable monthly payments.

The Dentist Behind Your Crown
Tim Brooks, DDS, calls himself an education junkie. He is a member of the International Congress of Oral Implantologists and pursues continuing training through the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, then brings all of it back to his own patients.
He built the practice for people who want one dentist in Edmond, OK, to see them through everything from routine care to complex restorations, so it's not often that he refers patients elsewhere.
The team around him tends to stay for years, so the faces that greet you rarely change. Dr. Brooks is open about his Christian faith and the role it plays in how the office cares for people. Even the waiting area reflects that: it feels more like a living room, with coffee and bottled water on hand.
Common Questions About Crowns
How long does a dental crown last?
A crown's lifespan depends on the material, where the tooth sits in your bite, and how well you care for it. Daily brushing and flossing, a nightguard if you grind your teeth, and regular checkups all help a crown last longer. Dr. Brooks can tell you what to expect from the material chosen for your tooth.
Does getting a crown hurt?
No. Dr. Brooks is known for painless injections, and your tooth is fully numbed before preparation begins. Patients who feel nervous can add sedation for a calmer visit.
What is the difference between a crown and a veneer?
A veneer is a thin shell bonded to the front of a tooth, chosen mostly for cosmetic reasons. A crown covers the entire tooth and restores strength as well as appearance. If a tooth has lost too much structure to stay strong on its own, a crown is usually the better choice.
Can a crown replace a missing tooth?
Yes, when it is paired with a dental implant. Dr. Brooks places and restores implants at his Edmond, OK, office, so both the implant and the crown that tops it are handled under one roof.
Will my dental crown look natural?
Yes. Your crown is shaded to match the teeth around it, and the iTero digital design maps your bite so the finished restoration fits your smile instead of standing out. Whether you choose zirconia or porcelain, Dr. Brooks fine-tunes the color and shape before bonding the crown in place, so it blends in with the teeth beside it.
