At Vivid Dental, we focus on providing dentistry that doesn’t look like dentistry. We want our restorative work to look and feel like natural teeth. When patients in the Houston area are faced with restoring damage or protecting the structure of their natural teeth, our dentists may suggest the placement of dental crowns.
Dental crowns are porcelain restorations that are custom-made to cover the natural tooth and protect it. They can restore the appearance and function of the tooth to avoid extractions. This is a reliable technique used to repair many dental concerns, and they can be used over implants to replace missing teeth to restore the smile and functioning bite. Our practice is known for providing comprehensive dental care and quality work for both health and aesthetic purposes, and we use some of the best materials for the fabrication of our crowns, bridges, and other restorations.
Dental crowns are extremely long lasting. With proper care and regular maintenance, patients can enjoy their restorations for years, even decades, with the assistance of the dental team at Vivid Dental.
Houston area patients will need two visits to Vivid Dental for the creation and placement of their crowns. During the first appointment after the consultation visit, the dentist removes a portion of the enamel. Then, impressions are made and sent to an outside dental laboratory. These are used to create the new crown. Until they arrive at the dental office, patients have a temporary crown placed. Once the new crown arrives from the laboratory, patients return, and the crown is bonded in place with a more permanent bonding solution.
Dental crowns are commonly used in both general and cosmetic dentistry to improve the health and beauty of the smile. They are made of strong materials to protect the natural tooth structure while restoring the bite and appearance of the tooth. Patients who believe they may need dental crowns are encouraged to contact Vivid Dental in the Houston area today to schedule their initial consultation appointment and examination.
