When to Get a Dental Crown?
If you have minor cavities in your teeth, we can restore them with dental fillings. However, serious damage to a tooth cannot be corrected by dental fillings alone. At our practice in Killeen, TX, we offer dental crowns for the following cases:
- Fractured or broken teeth
- Teeth with extensive caries or infection
- Teeth with large fillings
- Root canal-treated teeth
- Worn-out teeth due to bruxism or other causes
- Teeth with discoloration
- Oddly shaped teeth
- Single dental implants
Our practice provides high-quality dental crowns made from porcelain, metal, or porcelain fused to metal (PFM). During your consultation, our dentists will evaluate your teeth and decide which dental crown is most suitable for you.
How Are Dental Crowns Placed?
The process of dental crowns in Killeen, TX, generally requires two visits. In your first appointment, we will begin by injecting a local anesthetic at the site of the defective tooth. If you feel anxious or uneasy, our team will offer nitrous oxide sedation during treatment to help you relax. Afterward, we will prep the tooth by removing a thin layer of its enamel. The purpose of this is to make space for the dental crown to fit comfortably over your tooth. We will follow tooth prep with a digital iTero impression and send it to a dental lab to design a custom-fit dental crown for you. Once we receive it from the lab, we will call you for the second appointment and cement it over your tooth. Our team will provide you with necessary guidelines to care for your dental crowns and make them last for a long time.
