Durable Crowns for a Healthy Smile
Does your tooth need a little rehab? Over time, teeth can become worn, cracked, or misshapen due to everyday wear, injury, or decay. Fortunately, a custom dental crown can make your tooth look and function like new again. At Archstone Dental & Orthodontics in Hulen, Fort Worth, we expertly restore damaged teeth by placing durable, cavity-resistant crowns that blend seamlessly with your natural smile.
What is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown is a custom-made cap that covers the entire visible portion of a tooth. Crowns are designed to restore strength, shape, and function while improving aesthetics. Whether your tooth has been weakened by decay, injury, or wear, a crown provides lasting protection and a natural-looking restoration.
Why Choose a Crown?
Dental crowns are an ideal solution for teeth that have:
- Been weakened by tooth decay: When a cavity is too large for a filling, a crown provides essential strength and protection.
- Insufficient structure for a filling: Teeth that are too damaged to support a traditional filling can be fully restored with a crown.
- Undergone a root canal: A crown is often necessary to protect and seal the treated tooth following a root canal procedure.
Crowns are crafted from high-quality materials such as porcelain, metal, or a combination of both. These materials ensure a natural appearance while offering the durability your tooth needs.
