Aurora patients needing a crown or bridge shouldn’t have to wait two weeks, manage a temporary, or make extra trips across town. At Aspenwood Dental Associates and Colorado Dental Implant Center, our in-house Crown Bridge Lab means your restoration is designed, crafted, and fitted — often in a single visit — by a team that’s been caring for Colorado families since 1972.
Tired of Waiting Weeks for a Crown That Still Doesn’t Fit Right?
Most dental offices send your impression to an off-site lab, hand you a temporary that pops off at dinner, and ask you to come back in two to three weeks. That’s the standard. It’s also the part patients hate most.
Here’s what Aurora patients tell us before they switch:
“I was anxious about going back and kept putting it off.” — We have a no-judgment policy and sedation options for patients who’ve had bad experiences. You don’t have to white-knuckle it.
“I had to wear a temporary for three weeks and it fell out twice.” — We fabricate your permanent crown in-house, so you leave with the real thing, not a placeholder.
“I couldn’t get a straight answer on what it would cost until after the work was done.” — We give you the full price upfront. No surprises when the bill arrives.
“The crown didn’t match my other teeth and the fit felt off.” — Our lab technicians work directly with your dentist to perfect the color, shape, and bite before you leave the chair.
Getting Started Is Simple
Step 1: Book your free consultation — takes under 2 minutes online or by phone.
Tell us what’s going on with your tooth and we’ll get you in fast, often same-day or next-day.
Step 2: We assess your tooth, walk you through your options, and give you the full price — no pressure, no obligation.
If you’re a good candidate for our in-house Crown Bridge Lab, we’ll let you know right away and explain exactly what to expect.
Step 3: Your restoration is designed and crafted here, and you leave with a crown or bridge that fits, looks natural, and lasts.
No temporary. No second trip. No mystery bill.
Everything You Need for a Strong, Natural-Looking Restoration — Under One Roof
In-House Crown Fabrication
We design and build your dental crown right here in our Aurora office using advanced E4D CAD/CAM technology. That means no waiting weeks for an off-site lab to ship your restoration back. Select patients can walk out the same day with a permanent, custom-fitted crown — no temporary, no return trip.
Custom Dental Bridges
When one or more teeth are missing, a custom bridge restores your ability to chew, speak, and smile without the gaps that shift surrounding teeth over time. Our lab crafts bridges that match the color and contour of your natural teeth so closely that most people can’t tell the difference. You leave with a restoration that fits your mouth — not a generic one-size-fits-most solution.
Direct Lab Collaboration & Color Matching
At most offices, your dentist takes an impression and mails it off — and you hope for the best. Here, our lab technicians work directly alongside your dentist to fine-tune the shade, shape, and fit of your crown or bridge before it’s finalized. The result is a restoration that looks like it was always there.
Custom Staining & Finish Techniques
Mass-produced crowns look like mass-produced crowns. Our in-house lab applies custom staining techniques to match the unique translucency and color variation of your natural teeth. You get a finish that holds up to scrutiny — even in bright light.
Off-Site Lab Coordination (When Needed)
Some complex cases require specialized materials or configurations that go beyond what any single in-house lab handles. When that’s the case, we work with a curated network of trusted Denver-area labs that meet our same standards for quality and fit. You still get the Aspenwood quality guarantee — regardless of where the restoration is fabricated.
Your tooth isn’t going to fix itself — and you shouldn’t have to wait weeks to get it handled.
Let’s get you in, assess the situation, and tell you exactly what your options are. No obligation. No pressure.
Free consultation. All-in pricing — no hidden fees. Serving Aurora, CO since 1972. If something isn’t right down the road, we’ll still be here to fix it.
Why Aurora, CO Residents Choose Aspenwood Dental Associates for Crown Bridge Lab Work
Aspenwood has been a fixture in Aurora since 1972 — over 50 years as a fully independent practice, never sold to a corporate chain. That means the dentists you see this year are the same ones you’ll see five years from now. Patients routinely bring their children and grandchildren here because they trust the continuity. That kind of long-term relationship is almost impossible to find in today’s revolving-door dental landscape.
Our team includes multiple 5280 Top Dentist honorees, including Dr. Lisa Augustine and Daniel Jay Zeppelin. These aren’t vanity awards — they’re peer-nominated recognitions from the Colorado dental community.
We built an in-house Crown Bridge Lab because we got tired of the same complaints every patient had about the old way. Temporaries that fall out. Crowns that don’t quite match. Waiting weeks for a restoration that still needs adjustments. Our lab lets us control quality at every step — from first impression to final fit — rather than handing off your care to a stranger across town.
Our Colorado-specific care protocols set us apart from any practice that hasn’t thought about what it means to practice dentistry at altitude. We address high-altitude dry mouth, faster tartar buildup common in the Aurora area, and pressure-related tooth sensitivity for patients who hike or drive mountain passes. We’ve formalized these approaches because we’ve been caring for Colorado families for over five decades—we know this environment. Price transparency is non-negotiable here. The number we quote you at your consultation is the number you pay. No surprise bills after insurance processes. No add-ons you didn’t agree to.

Common Questions About Crown Bridge Lab in Aurora, CO
How much does a crown cost at Aspenwood Dental in Aurora?
Crown costs in Aurora typically range from $1,000 to $1,800 per tooth depending on material and location in the mouth. At Aspenwood, the price we quote at your consultation is the price you pay — no surprise add-ons after the fact.
Can I really get a crown done in one day?
For many patients, yes. Our in-house Crown Bridge Lab and E4D CAD/CAM technology allow us to design and fabricate select crowns the same day. We’ll tell you at your consultation whether your case qualifies — most straightforward crown cases do.
What’s the difference between getting a crown here versus a regular dental office?
Most offices send your impression to an off-site lab and fit you with a temporary for two to three weeks. We fabricate crowns in-house, which means tighter quality control, direct color-matching by our lab team, and — for qualifying patients — no temporary at all.
How long will my crown or bridge last?
With proper care, a well-made crown typically lasts 10 to 15 years or longer. We use high-grade materials and apply custom finishing techniques to maximize durability. And because we’ve been in Aurora since 1972, we’ll still be here if you ever need an adjustment.
Does insurance cover crowns and bridges?
Most dental insurance plans cover a portion of crown and bridge work — typically 50% after your deductible, though it varies by plan. We’ll review your coverage before treatment so you know your exact out-of-pocket cost upfront. If you don’t have insurance, ask us about our in-house membership plan.
What if I’m nervous about dental work or haven’t been to a dentist in years?
You’re in the right place. We have a formal no-judgment policy and a team trained to work with patients who have dental anxiety or past trauma. Nitrous oxide and other sedation options are available. We’ll go at your pace — no pressure, no lectures.
Do I need a referral to get a crown or bridge at Aspenwood?
No referral needed. New patients are welcome. Call us or book online and we’ll get you in for a free consultation to assess your tooth and walk through your options.
