What is a Dental Crown?
Dental crowns are customized caps that are made to fit over the biting surface of your damaged or weakened teeth
above the gumline. They can be made from many different types of materials, like gold, ceramic, and porcelain. This
type of restoration is usually recommended for patients who have:
Severely decayed tooth with a large filling
Broken tooth that needs extra support
Tooth that has just received root canal therapy
A missing tooth that’s been replaced with a dental implant
Bridge that needs support for the adjacent teeth
Tooth that is severely misshapen or discolored
The Dental Crown Process
Dental crown placement procedures are minimally invasive and pretty straightforward. Having a dental crown placed
usually takes place over a few appointments to give you the perfected results you’re looking for. First, Dr.
Lee examines your smile to confirm that a dental crown in North Dallas is the best option to restore your tooth. She
will prepare your tooth for the crown by removing a thin layer of your protective enamel in order to make room for
the crown. An impression is taken of your tooth and the surrounding gumline, which will be sent to a dental
laboratory where your permanent restoration will be made. To keep your tooth safe in the meantime, you will be given
a temporary crown. As soon as your new crown is ready, your temporary one will be replaced!
