Strengthen Your Teeth with Dental Crowns

Missing teeth can have a domino effect on your oral health. The gaps left behind not only cause your remaining teeth to shift but it can lead to misalignment and bite issues that make chewing difficult. It can even negatively impact your speech and diminish your confidence to smile freely. Luckily, our dental crowns in Sugar Land can solve these problems.

Do You Need a Dental Crown?

• You have tooth damage or decay that’s too large for a normal filling.
• You have a significant fracture that is compromising the structure of your tooth.
• You want to improve the appearance of discolored or misshapen teeth.
• You want to protect a tooth that's at risk of breaking.
• You want to support a dental bridge to replace your missing teeth.

Understanding Your Restoration

A dental crown, which we usually refer to as a "cap," is a tooth-shaped restoration that covers your damaged tooth. When you visit us for a dental crown, your restoration will start with a comprehensive consultation and examination, where we’ll assess your oral health and discuss your treatment options.

If we decide that a dental crown suits your needs, we will move on to prepare your tooth to receive the crown. After, we’ll take a precise mold to ensure a perfect fit and, while your permanent crown is being created, we will place a temporary crown to protect your tooth. When your restoration is ready, you’ll visit us again for a permanent crown that will be cemented into place to restore your smile’s function and beauty.

Keeping Your Crowns Bright

• Brush twice daily, floss regularly, and use mouthwash.
• Schedule routine dental exams and cleanings with our team.
• Try and avoid biting into hard objects like ice or nuts.
• Visit us immediately if you experience any discomfort.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it hurt to get a dental crown?
Most of our procedures, including crown placement, are performed under local anesthesia. This numbs the area so that you only experience some mild discomfort after your procedure.

How long will the procedure take?
Your entire procedure, from the initial tooth preparation to your final crown placement, will take place over several weeks. However, the actual time spent in the dental chair for each appointment is usually quite short!

How long will my dental crown last?
The length of your treatment depends on the severity of your gum disease. Patients who have simple cases can find relief within one or two sessions with our team, while more complex cases need multiple visits.
