Can Crowns Improve My Smile’s Appearance?
Teeth go through a lot over time, so it’s not unusual for them to become compromised by wear and tear, decay, or accidental damage. It only takes a few compromised teeth to ruin your entire smile. At Favero Family Dental, we restore compromised teeth with dental crowns to make them strong, healthy, and beautiful again! You can learn more about cosmetic teeth crowns in Denton and Corinth, Texas, here.
What is a dental crown?
Crowns are tooth-shaped caps used to restore teeth that are weak, worn, or damaged. They’re custom-crafted from porcelain, ceramic, or metal alloy and cover your teeth in their entirety, all the way to the gum line, for protection and support. Crowning compromised teeth restores their strength, function and appearance to keep your smile at its best.
When are crowns needed?
At Favero Family Dental, we use crowns to:
- Restore worn teeth
- Repair damaged teeth
- Support teeth with extensive decay
- Protect weak, fragile, and root canal teeth
- Support a dental bridge
- Top a single tooth implant to replace a missing tooth
Do crowns look natural?
Absolutely! In fact, if you’re crowning a visible tooth, you want your restoration to closely resemble your natural teeth to blend in harmoniously with your smile. A custom-crafted porcelain or ceramic crown will give you the natural appeal you seek. Once in place, your crown will look, feel, and function just like a real tooth.
What’s the crown procedure like?
Plan on at least two dental visits to get a traditional crown. Dr. Favero will start by reshaping your tooth to make it easier to fit your crown. Then we’ll take impressions of your mouth to have a crown custom-crafted for your tooth. Your lab-made crown will take about two weeks to complete. In the meantime, we’ll protect your tooth with a temporary crown for pain-free chewing. When your permanent crown is ready, we’ll exchange the temporary one for the permanent crown and ensure it fits properly before cementing it in place.
Is the process painful?
Not at all. Crown treatment is done using a local anesthetic to keep our patients comfortable throughout the procedure. You can look forward to a smooth, painless treatment.
How long do crowns last?
Metal crowns can last a lifetime, but porcelain and ceramic crowns, which are more popular for their natural aesthetics, generally last around 15 years. To keep your crown in good shape long-term, we recommend you:
- Brush twice daily and floss at least once daily
- See your dentist every 6 months for routine cleanings
- Avoid hard and chewy foods
- Stop bad habits of chewing on ice and using your teeth as tools
