Dental Crowns
Receiving a dental crown can be a daunting experience and one that you may not have felt comfortable with in the past. Our highly trained team strives to provide a calm environment and is committed to making your tooth crown procedure as stress-free and comfortable as possible. We are dedicated to delivering comprehensive family dentistry in Missouri City, TX that makes your visit to the dentist a positive one. Our team will provide you with an individualized treatment plan to ensure that you are well-informed of your dental crown procedure every step of the way.
Dental crowns, also known as tooth or dental caps, are custom-made restorations that cover the entire surface of a damaged or decayed tooth. Effectively, they form a “cap” over the existing tooth structure in order to restore both its appearance and function. Dental crowns are used to repair teeth that have been weakened by decay, have cracked or chipped, or have discolored. Crowns can also be used to improve the appearance of misshapen teeth and cover dental implants. We use state-of-the-art materials to ensure the highest quality results for our patients.
At Lake Olympia Dental, we can use a dental crown to protect and strengthen teeth as well as restore them to their original shape and size. A tooth cap is used for both restorative and cosmetic purposes. Here are some of the most common scenarios when a dental crown could be the right choice for you:
During the first visit, our team will take x-rays and evaluate your teeth to ensure a dental crown is the right treatment for your needs. We will then prepare your tooth by removing any decay and shaping it to make room for the crown. An impression is taken of your teeth so that a custom-made dental crown can be created in a lab.
Once we have received the finished product from the lab, you’ll come back to our office for the second visit. During this visit, our team will check the size and fit of your new dental crown, adjust it as needed, and then finalize its placement. With regular visits to Lake Olympia Dental for checkups and cleanings, we can monitor your crown’s condition and make sure it stays in good shape for years to come.
