Dental Crowns
Broken or fractured teeth can significantly impact your quality of life, inducing feelings of anxiety, diminished confidence, and a reluctance to display your smile.
Fortunately, at Moe Smiles in Houston, Dr. Moe specialize in tailored solutions for restoring damaged teeth. Their approach is meticulously personalized, ensuring each patient achieves a smile they adore.
Among the practical methods for addressing a cracked or broken tooth is the application of a dental crown. Often referred to as a cap, this restoration is meticulously crafted to match the contours of your tooth, restoring both its appearance and structural integrity.
Our bespoke dental crowns, designed to seamlessly blend with your natural teeth, encase the visible portion of the damaged tooth. Beyond enhancing your smile's aesthetics, these crowns provide essential support to adjacent teeth, contributing to a more radiant and functional smile.
Understanding Dental Crowns
Dental crowns serve as a versatile solution for various dental concerns, with Dr. Moe at Moe Smiles in Houston often recommending them based on several factors, including the severity of the issue, the condition of surrounding teeth, and prior dental interventions.
Conditions warranting the application of dental crowns encompass:
- Repairing a broken or cracked tooth.
- Providing added protection for a weakened tooth.
- Reassembling fractured tooth fragments.
- Serving as a covering for a dental implant.
- Restoring a tooth following a root canal procedure.
- Addressing cosmetic imperfections like chipped or misshapen teeth.
- Resolving issues of tooth discoloration.
- In cases where an old filling has deteriorated or dislodged, rendering the cavity too extensive for a replacement filling, dental crowns offer a viable means of restoring tooth functionality.
Cosmetic Dentistry for Your Dental Crown
At Moe Smiles, Dr. Moe is committed to delivering personalized dental care and cosmetic dentistry characterized by natural-looking results. Their meticulous attention to detail ensures that your dental crown not only closely resembles your natural tooth but also provides the necessary protection and support for your oral health.
Prior to commencing the dental crown procedure, a comprehensive examination is conducted by the dentist to assess your dental health thoroughly. Collaborating closely with their skilled team, they prioritize ensuring your comfort and fostering a positive patient experience.
Following the selection of a color for the permanent crown, the outer portions of the affected tooth are carefully prepared to accommodate the custom dental crown. A temporary crown is then affixed to safeguard the tooth while awaiting the fabrication of the final crown at the laboratory.
You'll wear the temporary crown for approximately two weeks before returning to our office for the placement of the permanent crown.
Upon your satisfaction with the fit and appearance of the crown, any necessary minor adjustments are made to optimize its comfort and functionality. Subsequently, you'll depart from our office adorned with a beautiful, natural-looking dental crown, emblematic of our commitment to excellence in cosmetic dentistry.
