Crafted from high-quality materials like porcelain, dental crowns offer a functional, life-like restoration and last many years with proper care.
Dental crowns in Coppell, Texas, offer a versatile solution if your tooth damage is too significant for a filling or you want to enhance your smile. If this sounds great, schedule an appointment today with Dr. Camp to begin your smile transformation.
Why do I need a dental crown?
Dental crowns have several functions but are mainly used to add strength and function to your tooth. Your dentist may recommend a dental crown to:
- Support a traditional bridge to the nearby teeth
- Cover up an implant
- Reinforce a tooth significantly weakened by decay or damage
- Aesthetically enhance a worn-out, discolored, or misshapen tooth
- Replace large, old fillings
- Strengthen your tooth after a root canal
If you choose a crown, your options for materials are realistic-looking and reasonably priced composites or strong and esthetically pleasing porcelain. Gold and other metal finishes are also available. While each material has its pros and cons, we prefer porcelain crowns because of their striking resemblance to the natural enamel.
What is the process of getting dental crowns?
If you are considering dental crowns, getting a porcelain crown involves several steps, but it’s a worthwhile investment for a beautiful, confident smile. Like other dental treatments, your crown treatment starts with a consultation. The dentist examines your teeth and gums to determine your suitability for a crown.
If deemed suitable, we’ll start preparing your tooth by removing the decayed/damaged portion of the tooth. Then, we’ll reshape the enamel to accommodate your crown. Are you jittery about the crown preparation process? Don’t be! We prioritize your comfort by numbing your gums with highly effective anesthetics. You can also discuss sedation dentistry with our dentist to help overcome dental anxiety.
After prepping your teeth, we’ll take digital scans of them to be used by our dental lab to custom-make your crown. The lab fabricates your crown, matching your teeth’ exact color, shape, and size for a natural appearance and comfortable fit. As you wait for your crown, we’ll place an interim restoration to protect your tooth from infections and injury.
Once your crown is ready, you’ll visit our office for placement. Once the fit and alignment of your crown are confirmed, we will secure it using a strong dental adhesive. Now, you can show the world the beautiful, functional smile you deserve.
How do I deal with a broken crown?
Our dental crowns can last 15-plus years with proper care. However, accidents can happen, cutting short the lifespan of your crown. Our office is prepared to handle loose or dislodged dental crowns. If you have a problem with your dental crown, don’t hesitate to reach out.
