What Is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown is a restorative device designed to be placed over a tooth compromised by infection and injury so it can function normally while being protected from further damage. Each of these appliances will be customized to match the natural curvature of the patient’s smile and ensure a comfortable fit, and our crowns are made from tooth-colored materials so they blend in with the rest of your smile. Virtually everyone with severely damaged or misshapen teeth can be an excellent candidate for dental crowns, but we may have to perform restorative work to eliminate oral infections like tooth decay and gum disease before the devices can be placed safely.
The Dental Crown Process
Dental crowns are placed through a specialized two-part process, and the first step to receiving these appliances is to schedule a consultation at our Fort Worth office. It may be necessary for us to resolve oral infections with suitable restorative treatments before the devices can be placed.
Once you are ready, we will schedule you for the first appointment, which will involve our dentist administering an appropriate anesthetic to keep you comfortable before reshaping your teeth, taking detailed bite impressions, and fixing temporary veneers in place. You’ll come back to our office after we receive your final crowns about two weeks later, at which time we will carefully remove your temporary restorations and cement your final appliances in place. After we make any final adjustments and ensure you receive detailed aftercare instructions, we’ll send you on your way to enjoy your newly restored smile.
The Benefits of Getting a Dental Crown
Neglecting to get a needed dental crown can allow a damaged tooth to break down further, which can lead to its loss as well as dental misalignments, gum injuries, and jawbone atrophy. Receiving a necessary crown, on the other hand, can deliver a variety of impressive benefits like:
- Restoring lost chewing power.
- Protecting the treated tooth from infection and injury so it can last much longer than it would otherwise.
- Addressing multiple dental defects with a single treatment.
- Rebuilding lost dental structure with lifelike tooth-colored materials so the patient can enjoy a gorgeous smile.
You can keep your dental crowns in excellent shape for up to fifteen years or more if you practice excellent oral hygiene and visit our office every six months for routine exams and cleanings.
