Dental Crowns
Dental crowns (or caps) are an effective way to restore, strengthen and improve the appearance of worn or damaged teeth. The advanced practitioners at the Medical Center Dental Group in Houston, Texas are highly experienced in even the most advanced dental crown procedures. We can apply dental crowns to all of your teeth if needed—a few at a time, or even in a single sitting should you desire.
Dental Crowns can restore your tooth's natural shape, or give you the smile you've never had!
A dental crown is basically a new exterior for your teeth. Teeth that are worn from age, cracked or misshapen may be restored to their original shape through the application of a dental crown. These “caps” are custom shaped from a plaster mold of your teeth, and fashioned in a laboratory. In some restorative cases, your new crown may actually be more attractive than your original teeth ever were.
Dental crowns are an excellent way to restore teeth that have undergone significant tooth decay. They are superior to dental fillings in this aspect, in that they cover the entire tooth—rather than just a portion. Should you desire a tooth bleaching down the road, you will find that dental fillings will not change color along with the rest of your teeth. This can lead to unsightly contrasts between your teeth. With a dental cap the entire tooth will be encased in a pearly, translucent coating that will blend extremely well with the surrounding teeth.
Our porcelain dental crowns are the strongest and most natural looking caps you will find anywhere.
Our crowns are made of porcelain (also known as porcelain veneers.) Porcelain dental crowns offer significant advantages over materials used in the past, such as gold, metal alloys or other types of ceramic. Porcelain is one of the hardest substances ever made. While taken alone it can be brittle, when cemented to your teeth porcelain dental crowns are extremely strong. In addition, the natural qualities of porcelain in many ways resemble tooth enamel—the outer coating that crowns essentially replace. It is white and translucent, allowing light to pass through and give your capped tooth depth.
We can replace your old dental crowns.
Porcelain dental crowns can also be used to replace old crowns made of inferior materials. If you are experiencing pain, or having problems with your dental caps, we can help. We can safely and comfortably remove all of your old dental work, and replace it with superior materials and techniques that will be certain to last for many years to come.
The numerous customers who have had their teeth capped by the experienced and friendly professionals of Medical Center Dental Group walk away with a restored sense of confidence. We understand that a shapely smile is an important part of ones overall sense of well-being. We take take the time needed to fashion custom fit porcelain dental crowns that can restore the shape and appearance of your teeth, or even give you the smile you have never had.
