Dental Crown Services in NorthWest Houston

At A+ Star Smiles, we provide high-caliber dental crowns to restore and protect your smile. Our skilled experts offer personalized crowns which improve the functionality and enhance oral health. If you are in search of a reliable dentist in NorthWest Houston, we are at your service.

A tooth-shaped cap that is placed over a weak or broken tooth is called a dental crown. Crowns improve the appearance of the tooth and also maintain its size, shape, and strength. These crowns are constructed to fit tightly to your teeth making them easy to wear and robust.

Dental crowns are excellent for covering root canals, damaged teeth, and even fixing your smile. These crowns are strong and can last for a long time to reassure you.

Benefits of Dental Crowns 

Crowns have many advantages that include:

Protection

Helps in stopping further damage to weakened teeth.

Restoration

Helps repair broken or severely worn down teeth. 

Durability

Protective wear which lasts a long time and withstands pressure of biting or chewing. 

Aesthetics

Blends well with your natural teeth so the smile is more natural looking. 

Versatility

Aids in covering dental implants or bridges. 

Do You Need a Dental Crown?

A dental crown might be necessary if you suffer from:

• If you have chipped or damaged teeth
• If there is considerable decay that cannot be repaired with a filling
• Tooth that was excessively filled and now is weak
• Misshapen or discolored teeth
• A tooth that has undergone a root canal procedure
• If someone is in need of a covering over an implant

To determine whether or not a dental crown is adequate for you, it is advisable to consult our dentist in NorthWest Houston.

What to Expect During the Dental Crown Process

Usually, receiving a dental crown requires two trips to our office:

Consultation and Preparation

Our dentist will examine your tooth and, if required, take X-rays at your initial appointment. Before a crown is placed, more treatment might be necessary if the tooth is badly damaged or decaying.

To make room for a crown that fits better, the dentist will shape the tooth. A form-fitting customized crown is then created by taking impression molds of the teeth. A temporary crown will be placed on the tooth to protect it while your permanent crown is being created.

Placement of the Permanent Crown

Once the crown that has been customized for you is made you will be called in for your second appointment. The dentist will begin by taking off the temporary crown, putting on the permanent one and checking for any changes that need to be made. After it has been securely attached to the tooth, other slight changes will be made to ensure comfort and functionality.

Advanced Technology for Precise Results

At A+ Star Smiles, we go out of the way to make sure the impressions, the fittings, the crowns are done using the latest technology. To put it differently in the simplest forms, we aim to provide dental crowns which are as close to the natural teeth as possible while ensuring oral health.
