Dental Crowns and Implants

                                         

At our Dental we provide laboratory-fabricated crowns at our modern clinic. A dental crown is a custom-made, permanent restoration. They look like a hollow, tooth-shaped “cap”, which is placed over a prepared natural tooth. When cemented into place, crowns completely cover the entire visible portion of the tooth that lies at and above the gum line. Crowns are also used in implant cases to replace missing teeth that have been lost due to disease, decay, or an accident. A dental implant is an artificial root that is inserted into the jawbone to support and hold the crown in place, where there is no natural tooth or root structure to do so. The Family Smiles Dental is suitably located at 1011 N Hwy 77, Ste 105, Waxahachie, is the best option available and affordable dentist near you.

• Situations, where a crown may be needed, include:
• To replace an old, broken, or failing tooth filling.
• To restore a tooth that has already broken.
• Crowns are used to hold dental bridges in place.
• A crown is used to cover a dental implant.
• A crown is recommended to restore strength to any tooth that has undergone root canal therapy.
• A crown will not only enhance the appearance of the tooth but will protect it from further wear and breakdown.

In the case of an entire missing tooth, gaps left in the mouth will eventually cause the surrounding teeth to shift or rotate into the empty space, causing malocclusion (‘bad bite’), which can have a negative impact on diet. It can also cause bone deterioration in the jaw and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders. Therefore, it is always advisable to discuss tooth replacement options with your dentists, such as an implant and crown, rather than leaving gaps in the dentition.
