Bring Strength and Shine Back to Your Smile
Is one of your teeth feeling weak, damaged, or worn down? Over time, daily use or decay can affect its strength and appearance. A dental crown can bring back both function and confidence, helping you smile, eat, and speak comfortably again. At Archstone Dental & Orthodontics in Weatherford, TX, we use durable, natural-looking crowns that fit securely and blend seamlessly with your smile.
Understanding Dental Crowns
A dental crown is a custom-made cap that completely covers the visible part of a damaged or worn tooth. It restores the tooth’s shape, size, and strength while improving its appearance. Whether your tooth is cracked, severely decayed, or recently treated with a root canal, a crown can reinforce and protect it for years to come.
When a Crown is Recommended
A crown may be the ideal solution if your tooth:
- Has significant decay: When a cavity is too large for a filling, a crown provides protection and stability.
- Is too weak for a filling: Severely damaged teeth often need a crown for proper support.
- Had a root canal: After treatment, a crown helps seal and strengthen the restored tooth.
Crowns are available in several materials, including porcelain, metal, or a blend of both, each designed to provide a secure, natural-looking result that complements your smile.
