Restore Your Smile With Durable Crowns
Does your tooth need rehab? Teeth can become worn, cracked, or misshapen, but a simple crown can restore their look and feel. Dental crowns protect and cover damaged or decayed teeth, restoring shape, size, and strength so you can eat, speak, and smile confidently.
At Bliss Dental & Orthodontics in South Midland, TX, we'll carefully cover your existing tooth with a new outer layer that’s not only strong and resistant to cavities but also blends seamlessly with your other teeth.
Signs You May Need a Crown for Your Tooth
Teeth can become weakened over time due to factors like decay, injury, or wear. In some cases, fillings may not be enough to restore a tooth’s integrity, and a crown becomes necessary. A crown is a custom-made cap that fits over a tooth to protect it from further damage and improve its appearance.
Your teeth are ideal for crowns if your teeth:
- Have been weakened by tooth decay
- Cannot hold a filling
- Have undergone a root canal procedure
Different Types of Crowns
- Porcelain or Ceramic Crowns: These materials mimic your teeth's natural look and are perfect for visible front teeth.
- Metal Crowns: Crafted from gold or other sturdy metals, these crowns are durable, making them ideal for back teeth. They don’t have a natural tooth-like color but can withstand heavy chewing pressure.
- Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal Crowns: Combining the strength of metal with the aesthetic appeal of porcelain, these offer a balance of durability and natural appearance.
How Crowns Restore Your Smile
If you find dental work stressful at times, let us ease your worries. We will go above and beyond to make you feel relaxed and comfortable. It’s extremely important to us that your experience in our office is a positive one.
Getting a crown usually takes two visits to your dentist.
- During the first visit, the affected tooth will be prepared by removing any damaged or decayed portions and taking impressions to create a custom crown.
- On the second visit, the crown will be placed to check its fit and make any necessary adjustments for comfort and function.
