Dental Crowns

Don’t Let A Damaged Tooth Hold You Back

We know how frustrating it can be to have a tooth that is chipped, cracked, or otherwise damaged. It may be sensitive to hot or cold, or you might be avoiding certain foods because chewing is uncomfortable. A damaged or weakened tooth can significantly impact your daily life and make you feel self-conscious about your smile. At Pecan Park Dental, we understand and we’re here to help. Our comfortable, natural-looking dental crowns can give your tooth its strength, function, and beauty so you can enjoy all your favorite foods and smile with confidence once again. Our experienced cosmetic dentists use advanced technology and a gentle touch to provide you with comfortable, personalized care.

What is a dental crown?

A dental crown is a custom-made cap that fits over your tooth, helping to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. These restorations are carefully crafted to match the color of your surrounding teeth, ensuring they fit in seamlessly with the rest of your smile. Crowns are a versatile solution for a variety of dental concerns.

The benefits of dental crowns

• Repairing a broken or cracked tooth: Dental accidents happen, but a dental crown can restore your damaged tooth to its full function and prevent further issues.

• Protecting a tooth after a root canal: A crown provides strength and stability to your tooth after root canal treatment.

• Covering a large filling: A crown can reinforce your remaining tooth structure and prevent it from breaking when your filling is too big.

• Improving the appearance of a misshapen or discolored tooth: Crowns can improve the aesthetics of your smile by correcting any dental imperfections such as staining, chips, or cracks.

• Supporting a dental bridge: Crowns act as anchors for a dental bridge, helping you to replace missing teeth and restore your bite.

The process of getting a dental crown

At Pecan Park Dental, we prioritize your comfort and strive to make your crown procedure as relaxing as possible. Here’s what you can expect:

1. Consultation: Once you schedule a consultation, one of our friendly, experienced cosmetic dentists will discuss your dental goals, thoroughly examine your teeth, and then walk you through the process of designing and fitting your crown.
2. Impressions: Our state-of-the-art intraoral camera takes precise digital impressions of your teeth, allowing us to design a custom-made crown for you.
3. Preparation: We’ll gently shape your tooth to prepare it for the crown.
4. Temporary Crown: You’ll wear a temporary crown while your permanent crown is being crafted.
5. Placement: Once your permanent crown is ready, our dentist will carefully place it and make any necessary adjustments to ensure it fits comfortably and correctly and looks natural.

Types of Dental Crowns

We offer a variety of crown materials to meet your individual needs and preferences:

• Porcelain Crowns: Porcelain dental crowns are known for their realistic appearance and can blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.
• Ceramic Crowns: Ceramic crowns are a strong and durable option, and they are tooth-colored.
