Crowns
If you have an extremely discolored tooth, one that is weak and needs to be held together, or are looking for other cosmetic services to restore and enhance the appearance of your teeth, visit our Irving, TX dental office to see if crowns are the right option for you. We can create the perfect dental crowns to fix any of these dental concerns.
Reasons to Get Dental Crowns
Our Irving, TX dentist, Dr. Rana Lee, DDS, PA, recommends crowns for:
- Replacing large fillings where there isn't enough remaining tooth.
- Protecting a weak tooth from getting fractured.
- Attaching a bridge.
- Restoring a fractured tooth.
- Covering a dental implant.
- Covering a root canal treatment.
- Covering a poorly shaped or discolored tooth.
There are various types of materials that crowns can be made of. These include ceramics, metal alloys, composite resin, porcelain, or a combination of any of these. While creating your crown, the material is usually colored so that it matches your natural teeth color.
The Dental Crowns Procedure
It usually takes a couple days for Dr. Lee to properly install your dental crowns. During your first visit, she examines your tooth or teeth to ensure it can support the crown properly. On your next appointment, she files your tooth down preparing it for your crown. If it is severely broken or damaged, she fills it first to make it big enough to receive the dental crown properly.
Contact our office at 972-790-5055 if you have a tooth or teeth that you are not happy with and think that dental crowns might be your answer. Dr. Lee is happy to sit down with you and discuss your plan of treatment for a better looking smile.
