Dental Teeth CrownsBeaumont - Port Arthur
Dental teeth crowns are used to repair teeth that have been damaged or decayed too much for a dental filling or porcelain inlay or onlay. Dental crowns restore both the look and the function of your natural tooth. When a tooth has a deep cavity or crack, the strength of the tooth may be compromised if a filling or porcelain inlay is attached. A dental crown restores the tooth by acting like a cap and covering the remaining tooth down to the surface. In the past, dental crowns were constructed out of metal amalgam. While this allowed the function of the tooth to be restored, it lacked the appearance of a natural tooth. Now, dental teeth crowns can be constructed out of porcelain to match the natural shape, color, and size of the rest of your teeth. A dental tooth crown procedure begins with the preparation of your natural tooth. This requires that the damaged or decayed portion of the tooth be removed and the tooth reshaped to accept the dental crown. After the tooth has been prepared, a mold will be taken of your tooth so that your teeth crown can be created. While your teeth crown is being created, you will be fitted with a temporary tooth crown. Your tooth crown should arrive back at Dr. Smith’s cosmetic dentistry office in Beaumont, Texas in just a couple weeks. Once the custom tooth crown has arrived, you will be able to return to the dentist office to have it permanently bonded to your tooth. During your final visit, your teeth crowns will be bonded to your tooth a special bonding material and curing light. Afterward, you will be able to smile and eat confidently because your teeth crowns will blend in seamlessly with the function and appearance of the rest of your teeth. As long as you keep proper care of your teeth crown, it can last you for many years to come.
