We want to keep you "smiling through life." A crown is a restoration that covers, or "caps, " a tooth to restore it to its normal shape and size, strengthening and improving the tooth's appearance. Crowns are necessary when a tooth is generally broken down and fillings won't solve the problem. If a tooth is cracked, a crown holds the tooth together to seal the cracks so the damage doesn't get worse.

Laser dentistry can be a precise and effective way to perform many dental procedures. The potential for laser dentistry to improve dental procedures rests in the dentist's ability to control power output and the duration of exposure on the tissue (whether gum or tooth structure), allowing for treatment of a highly specific area of focus without damaging surrounding tissues.

Shady. The ordeal that I went through here is extensive, but just beware that they submit info to insurance companies inaccurately to attempt to game the system. In spite of the administrative incompetence, I highly doubt that it's an innocent clerical error. Non responsive to inquiries requesting an explanation. Avoid this place if you can, and you probably can. Edit: interestingly my review doesn’t show on Google. Very shady indeed.

Dr. Pederson is an amazing and smart dentist and very good at what he does. I have an extremely hard time going to the dentist, but after leaving his office I feel so relieved and happy about the
treatment. He talks you through and makes sure everything is painless. I would recommend him over and over again.

Fast forward 2 years and 2 months and a crown placed by Dr. Pederson literally explodes into several pieces in my mouth. An emergency temporary is needed. Not withstanding the pain and inconvenience caused by this unfortunate incident, my current dentist testifies that the crown should never have broken the way it did. It was completely unsalvageable. No bonding, nothing. The issue with the crown was the placement, not manufacture.
I of course contact Dr. Pederson's office and was promptly told "that these is nothing they can do." They only warranty the crown for 1 year and after that I am on
