Welcome to Creekside Park Family & Cosmetic Dentistry, where your smile is our top priority. Located in The Woodlands, TX, our practice is led by the skilled and compassionate Dr. Christopher Anton and Dr. Angela Anton. We are dedicated to providing you with the best dental care, including the use of dental crowns to restore and enhance your smile.
Why Might You Need A Dental Crown?
Dental crowns are a versatile solution for a variety of dental issues. You might need a dental crown if you have a tooth that is severely decayed or damaged. Crowns can also be used to protect a tooth after a root canal treatment, or to hold a dental bridge in place. If you have a tooth that is cracked or worn down, a crown can restore its shape and function. Additionally, crowns are often used for cosmetic purposes, such as covering a discolored or misshapen tooth to improve your smile’s appearance.
The Dental Crown Process
Our office uses CEREC technology, which allows us to provide same-day crowns with no need for a temporary restoration in many cases. Here’s what you can expect:
First Step: Preparation
- Examination and X-rays: Dr. Christopher Anton or Dr. Angela Anton will examine your tooth and take X-rays to assess the extent of the damage.
- Tooth Preparation: The tooth receiving the crown is filed down to make room for the crown. If a large area of the tooth is missing, a filling material may be used to build up the tooth.
- Impressions: An impression of the tooth and surrounding teeth is taken to ensure the crown fits perfectly.
- Temporary Crown: If for any reason we are unable to provide a CEREC same-day crown, a temporary crown is placed to protect your tooth until the permanent crown is ready.
Second Step: Crown Placement
- Removing the Temporary Crown: If needed, the temporary crown is removed, and the fit and color of the permanent crown are checked.
- Cementing the Crown: Once everything looks perfect, the permanent crown is cemented into place.
Benefits of Dental Crowns
Dental crowns offer numerous benefits. They provide strength and protection to weakened teeth, helping to prevent further damage. Crowns also restore the function of your teeth, allowing you to chew and speak properly. Aesthetically, crowns can enhance your smile by covering imperfections and blending seamlessly with your natural teeth. With proper care, dental crowns can last many years, making them a durable and reliable option for dental restoration.
