Dental Crowns Pecan Grove
Saving Damaged & Decayed Teeth
Dental crowns are perhaps the most comprehensive type of dental restoration in the sense that they have all kinds of uses! While they’re often used to restore damaged or decayed teeth, they’re also the go-to following a root canal—and they can even be used with dental implants to replace lost teeth. All of that said, they’re also designed to be beautifully lifelike and completely functional, making them a truly superior restoration. To learn more about dental crowns or to schedule an appointment with our Pecan Grove office, just give us a call today.

What Is a Dental Crown?
Dental crowns are a beautiful and aesthetic option for restoring teeth that are missing large amounts of tooth structure. Crowns are typically recommended when a composite filling is no longer adequate to support the tooth or to provide added protection for a tooth that has received root canal treatment.
Our dental crowns are made from a combination of durable materials, such as porcelain fused to metal, zirconia, or porcelain, and are built to withstand the harsh environment of the mouth while blending in seamlessly with your smile. On average, they need to be replaced every 10 years.
Dental Crown FAQs
Why Do I Need a Dental Crown and Not Just a Filling?
Tooth-colored fillings are great for repairing small portions of a tooth. However, when a tooth is missing a larger portion, then a filling may not provide enough structural support for the tooth and increase the chance of enamel fracture down the road. A dental crown offers full coverage protection as well as a more unified look.
My Dental Crown Came Off! Do I Need a New One?
Whether you need a new crown will depend on a few factors:
- Tooth health: Is the underlying tooth structure still in good health and providing enough support for the crown?
- Crown integrity: Is the crown still in good shape and able to protect the tooth?
- Presence of infection: If the tooth had root canal treatment, is the root canal free of contamination?
If the tooth and crown are both in good shape, then the crown can simply be re-cemented. A visit to our office would be necessary in order to verify whether this can be done.
