Dental Crowns in Fort Worth, TX

Dental crowns are custom-fitted caps placed over a damaged or decayed tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. They can be made from various materials, including ceramic, porcelain-fused-to-metal, and gold, each offering unique benefits. Crowns are a versatile solution for many dental issues, providing a balance between cosmetic enhancement and structural integrity.

Candidates for dental crowns typically have teeth that are damaged, decayed, or have undergone significant restoration work. Crowns are also ideal for improving the tooth's appearance or covering dental implants. 

The Benefits of Dental Crowns

Dental crowns are a type of dental restoration that restores compromised teeth to their original condition, enhancing tooth functionality and aesthetic appearance. They offer protection to weak teeth, support for broken or worn teeth, and can be a solution for teeth that have undergone extensive filling or root canal treatment.

The Process of Getting Dental Crowns

The dental crown process at Bliss Modern Dentistry involves:

• Consultation and Evaluation: Assessing the tooth’s condition and discussing material options.
• Tooth Preparation: Reshaping the tooth and taking impressions for the crown.
• Temporary Crown: Placing a temporary crown to protect the tooth while the permanent crown is being made.
• Crown Fabrication: Crafting the crown using the chosen material to match the natural teeth.
• Final Placement: Fitting the permanent crown and making any necessary adjustments for a perfect fit and bite.
  

Bliss Modern Dentistry utilizes advanced technologies like digital impressions and CAD/CAM systems throughout this process in order to design and fabricate dental crowns. These methods ensure a precise fit, natural appearance, and long-lasting results!

Dental Crown Care and Maintenance

Maintaining dental crowns involves regular oral hygiene practices, including brushing, flossing, and routine dental check-ups . While crowns are durable, they require care to prevent damage and prolong their lifespan.

Comparing Dental Crowns to Other Dental Restoration Options

While dental crowns cover the entire tooth, other restoration options like veneers only cover the tooth's front surface. Fillings repair smaller areas of decay, and inlays/onlays are used for more substantial damage but less than what would necessitate a crown.

Will getting a crown hurt?

The process is typically pain-free, with local anesthesia used during the preparation and fitting stages. Some sensitivity might occur after the procedure but usually subsides quickly.

How long do dental crowns last?

With proper care, dental crowns can last between 5 to 15 years, depending on the material and oral hygiene practices.

How do I care for my dental crown?

Care for a crown as you would your natural teeth, with regular brushing and flossing, and avoid chewing hard foods that could damage the crown.
