Dental Crowns

A dental crown or cap is a tooth-shaped cover that is placed over a weakened or damaged tooth in Pflugerville, TX to restore its natural appearance and prevent further deterioration. Crowns are needed to replace a large filling, to cover and strengthen the exposed area of a tooth following a root canal procedure in Pflugerville, TX, to repair severely chipped or broken teeth or for cosmetic purposes.

When a dental filling is not a viable solution to correcting the damage sustained by a tooth, crowns can provide a long-term solution to restoring the function of your teeth and enhancing the appearance of your smile.

Crowns can be made of all metal, all-porcelain, or a combination of both. Since all crowns are custom made for each patient at Smiles on Wells, it may take more than one appointment to complete your crowns. At your first visit, the area is numbed to make you comfortable. Dr. Souza in Pflugerville, TX will use a dental handpiece to shape and prepare the tooth so that the crown can properly fit over it. Impressions are then taken of the prepared tooth. A temporary crown is placed to protect the tooth, while the final crown is being made. The impressions are used to fabricate a model of your mouth, on which the final crown is made. When your final crown is ready, dental cement is placed into the crown and it is cemented to the prepared tooth. Your tooth is now restored to a healthy and functioning state!
