Durable Protection and Natural Beauty
Is your tooth showing signs of damage, wear, or deterioration? Teeth can become cracked, worn down, or misshapen over time, but a dental crown can effectively restore both the function and appearance of your tooth. At Archstone Dental & Orthodontics in Granbury, Texas, we specialize in creating custom dental crowns that offer durable protection while seamlessly matching your natural teeth.
Understanding Dental Crowns
A dental crown is a custom-designed cap that covers the entire visible portion of a weakened or damaged tooth. Its purpose is to restore the tooth’s strength, shape, and function while improving its overall appearance. Whether due to decay, injury, or other causes, a dental crown provides a reliable and long-lasting solution to protect your tooth and enhance your smile.
When is a Dental Crown Recommended?
Dental crowns are especially effective for teeth when:
- It is a significant decay that cannot be adequately restored with a filling.
- They are too compromised to support a conventional filling and require additional support.
- A tooth has undergone root canal treatment and needs protection to maintain its integrity.
Our crowns are crafted from high-quality materials such as porcelain, metal, or a combination, ensuring a natural look with exceptional durability.
