Tooth Restorations: How Dental Crowns Can Help

Posted on September 12, 2014 by admin in crowns

crowns DentonCrowns have long been used for repairing, protecting, and restoring natural teeth. Whether a tooth is missing, extracted, damaged or otherwise in need of reinforced support, a crown is a custom-made prosthetic that can protect the natural tooth or replace a tooth when combined with a dental implant. A dentist will assess the needs of individual patients and determine the best approach for long-term satisfaction and results.

In the case of missing teeth or those in need of extraction, the bone in the jaw needs time to heal. Once it has healed, a dental implant may be surgically placed to support the crown. The crown will be customized for the individual patient, made specifically to fit that patient’s mouth so it provides the most beneficial support and function to protect remaining teeth. The use of an implant and crown transforms the smile quickly and effectively, with lasting results.

Crowns have long been used for repairing, protecting, and restoring natural teeth.

When the natural tooth is still present, but weakened from a large filling or damaged, placing a crown over the natural tooth adds strength, support, protection, and restores the appearance for a more attractive smile and reinforced functionality. The crowns are custom-made for each patient, as with any dental crowns, and usually composed of porcelain with natural tooth coloring and glaze to match the other teeth in the patient’s mouth and provide durability that often exceeds that of natural teeth. Crowns are used to protect weakened or damaged teeth, and also with some dentistry procedures, such as root canal therapies.

To prepare for a crown, the natural tooth is shaped to fit within the customized crown, and an impression is taken to form the crown for a perfect fit. Once placed, the crown is permanent. However, severe impact or poor oral hygiene home-care habits can affect the crown’s longevity. These can also affect the surrounding teeth and gums. If gums start receding, for example, the crown may become loose and require repair.

Our Response To Coronavirus (COVID-19)

Although the Governor has rescinded the mask mandate, as a Dental Office we are subject to protocols of the Texas State Board of Dental Examiners (TSBDE). The TSBDE has not lifted its COVID 19 emergency protocols, so masks are still to be worn by patients and staff in the dental practice. We will be continuing all of our COVID safety protocols and respectfully request all patients, staff and vendors wear a mask in our office. Thank you for helping us keep the safest environment possible for our patients and staff.

Please contact our office if you have any concerns.
