Dental Crowns in Dallas: Restore Your Smile with Precision and Care

Restore Your Smile with Stellar Crown Technology

What is a Dental Crown and When is it Needed?

A dental crown, sometimes referred to as a “cap,” is a custom-made restoration that covers the entire visible surface of a tooth. Crowns are typically used to restore teeth that are broken, worn down, or severely decayed. They are also commonly used after root canal treatment to protect and strengthen the treated tooth. In addition to restoring function, dental crowns can improve the appearance of misshapen or discolored teeth, providing a uniform and natural-looking smile.

The Dental Crown Procedure: What to Expect

The process of getting a dental crown usually requires two visits to our Dallas office. During the first visit, our dentist will prepare the affected tooth by removing any decay and shaping it to accommodate the crown. We will then take an impression of the tooth, which will be used to create your custom crown. While your permanent crown is being crafted in a dental lab, we will fit you with a temporary crown to protect your tooth.

Once your custom crown is ready, you will return to Galaxia Dental for your second appointment. During this visit, our dentist will remove the temporary crown and carefully place the permanent crown, making any necessary adjustments to ensure a perfect fit. The crown will then be securely bonded to your tooth, restoring its function and appearance. With proper care, your dental crown can last for many years, providing you with a durable and natural-looking solution.

Types of Dental Crowns: Choosing the Right Option for You

At Galaxia Dental, we offer a variety of dental crown materials to suit your needs and preferences. The most common types include:

• Porcelain Crowns: These are highly aesthetic and blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, making them an ideal choice for front teeth.
• Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM) Crowns: These crowns offer the strength of metal with the natural appearance of porcelain, making them a versatile option for both front and back teeth.
• Metal Crowns: Made from gold or other metal alloys, these crowns are extremely durable and are typically used for molars that endure heavy chewing forces.
• Zirconia Crowns: Known for their strength and aesthetic appeal, zirconia crowns are an excellent choice for patients seeking a durable and natural-looking restoration.
  
  

Our team will discuss the pros and cons of each type of crown with you, helping you choose the option that best fits your needs, budget, and aesthetic goals.

Caring for Your Dental Crown

Proper care is essential to maintaining the longevity of your dental crown. We recommend brushing and flossing regularly to keep the crown and surrounding teeth clean and healthy. It’s also important to avoid biting down on hard objects like ice or pen caps, as this can damage the crown. Regular dental check-ups at Galaxia Dental will allow us to monitor the condition of your crown and ensure it continues to function properly.
