Dental Crowns Austin

Dental crowns are used to restore teeth that have been broken or damaged by decay. The crown is attached to the remainder of the tooth or to a dental implant. Crowns made of durable ceramic in order to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. With a crown, you can resume all your normal activities; basic tooth care guidelines apply to crowns just like your other teeth.

In the past, dental crowns would require two visits to complete. On the first visit, a mold would be taken of the damaged tooth. This would then be sent to a laboratory, where a gold, silver, or porcelain cap would be produced. On the next visit, this crown would be inserted. Now, the process has been narrowed down to a single visit, and personalized dental crowns can be created while you wait.
