Our experienced team of dentists and assistants is skilled in creating dental crowns for a variety of uses in dentistry. When you choose us for your crown, you can be confident that you will receive a high-quality, custom-made crown.

The options available to our team range from simple, single-tooth replacements to supports for dental bridges and restoration work following root canal therapy. Whatever your needs, we can create a perfect crown for you.

Dental Crowns – An Overview

When teeth are lost or become damaged, the dentin, which is the tissue that makes up the pulp (the nerve tissue and blood vessels) inside a tooth, starts to break down. This process can cause dental decay, especially if the damage is extensive and untreated. Crowns are a common type of restoration used to replace teeth that have been lost or damaged. They are made from either materials that can be extracted after being attached to the tooth by a dental cement (glue) or metal frame, or they may be made totally from natural materials like stone or metal.

Modern crowns were first developed in the 19th century as an improved replacement for removable partial dentures. Crowns are now one of the most popular types of restorative dental treatment because they:

Hide deep fillings and cap broken teeth
Could correct major flaws in your smile
Provide long-term stability to your smile
Protect adjacent healthy teeth

The Science Behind Dental Bridges and Dental Crowns

A dental bridge is a type of partial denture that replaces one or more missing teeth with an artificial tooth that is anchored to the adjacent teeth by dental crowns. Dental bridges are typically used as a last resort when other removable treatments, such as tooth extractions, have failed. Dental bridges may be designed to accommodate either single or multiple missing teeth.

When replacing a lost tooth with a dental bridge, the dentist must first remove most of the enamel from the surrounding teeth. This is done by reshaping the abutment teeth using dental crowns. The new artificial tooth-the central component of the bridge-is then attached to the abutment teeth with dental crowns. In most cases, the patient will require two crowns: one on top of each abutment tooth.

Dental bridges and dental crowns work together to provide a permanent solution for restoring oral health. By providing stability and support for your smile, dental bridges can help you feel confident about your appearance and enjoy better oral hygiene habits.

Why Do Many People in Kingwood TX Prefer Dental Crowns?

A strong smile is one of the most important characteristics of a good healthcare system. It reflects self-confidence, attractiveness, and social presence. If you have ever seen someone with a great smile, chances are they have had dental crowns put on. Dental crowns are typically used to restore the appearance of a tooth that has been damaged or lost and can also provide protection from future decay or damage. Patients who choose to get dental crowns may do so for many reasons, including preserving an aesthetically beautiful smile, preventing future decay or damage, assisting in preventing tooth loss, and maintaining a regular bite.

When teeth are damaged beyond repair or when missing teeth are replaced with bridges or dentures, patients may elect to get dental crowns in order to preserve their aesthetic appearance. Crowns can replace entire missing teeth and offer an esthetic result that is much more attractive than braces or implants alone. In addition, because they do not touch other surrounding teeth, tooth colors will not be affected and there is no risk of gum disease happening around them.

Dental crowns can also play an important role in preventing tooth loss in patients who have experienced the periodontal disease. If left untreated, periodontal disease can lead to complete tooth loss – even if all the adjoining teeth are healthy and retain their integrity. Dental crowns help keep teeth from shifting away from their sockets (the place where the gums meet the bone) and lessen the chance that bacteria will form plaque around them.

The Dental Crown Installation Procedure

The dental crown technique is a multistep procedure performed in our Kingwood dental office. There is normally minimal discomfort associated with dental crowns, but our dentists ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.

First Visit – Our cosmetic dentists will do a comprehensive evaluation of the teeth, jaw joints, gums, and other supporting components during the initial visit. We then use diagnostic x-rays, imprints, and molds to search for indicators of concealed degradation, stress, and instability. This examination will assist us in developing a customized treatment plan to restore the tooth’s optimal function and health. The dentist will explain your alternatives for dental crowns and assist you in making the best decision.
Tooth Preparation – Once the treatment plan has been approved, our dentists will prepare the teeth for the dental crown by removing a small portion of the natural tooth structure. The tooth will be fitted with a temporary crown while the final crown is being created in our dental laboratory.
Final Restoration – you’ll return to our Kingwood dental clinic in about two to three weeks for the final appointment. Our dentists will try on the dental crown and then permanently attach it.

Dental Crowns FAQs

How Long Does It Take to Have a Dental Crown Placed?

The dental crown process usually requires two appointments. Our dentists will prepare the problematic tooth for the crown on the first visit by removing decay and faulty restorations. An impression is then taken and delivered to the lab for crown production. You will leave the office with a secure temporary crown in place and return in around two weeks to have the final dental crown placed and firmly fixed in place.

What Is the Cost of a Dental Crown?

The location, number, and materials of crowns required are just a few of the variables that affect how much a dental crown costs. Your crown might be covered by your dental insurance. We will electronically submit your claim during your visit.

How Long Will the Dental Crown Last?

Our dentist will create a dental crown that will last a lifetime. With proper care and maintenance, your dental crown will continue to function optimally for many years.

Can Metal Fillings or Outdated Crowns Be Replaced?

Yes, our cosmetic dentists can replace outdated metal fillings as well as discolored, worn-out, or cracked crowns. A new porcelain dental crown will be cemented onto the tooth to restore its natural appearance.
