Dental Crown Specialist Serving Mesquite, Dallas TX

A dental crown is a tooth-shaped fixture that is adhered to a weak, broken, or decayed tooth to restore its look and function. Crowns are custom-made to ensure a proper fit and can be made of a variety of materials to ensure longevity and comfort.

There are several reasons why Dr. Divya Nagaraj DDS may recommend a dental crown. This includes to:

• Cover a dental implant.
• Cover a misshapen tooth.
• Cover a severely discolored tooth.
• Hold a dental bridge in place.
• Hold together parts of a cracked tooth.
• Make a cosmetic modification.
• Protect a weak tooth from breaking.
• Restore a previously broken- or worn-down tooth.
• Support a tooth with a large filling, especially if there is not a lot of teeth left as a result.

Dental crowns can be made from an array of different materials and are custom-built to fit your unique needs. The types of crowns available include:

• Metal. These durable crowns may include any combination of palladium, gold, nickel, and chromium. They rarely chip or break and tend to have the longest longevity out of all the types of dental crowns available. 

• Porcelain/Metal Fusion. Combining metal and porcelain components, these crowns are extremely durable and can be color matched to your natural teeth.

• Resin. These types of crowns are the most affordable, however, they don’t typically last as long as their metal counterparts and are more prone to fractures and breaks.

• All-ceramic or all-porcelain. These crowns are best for the front teeth as they can be made to fit the exact color of your natural teeth. They’re also a preferable option for those that have allergies to certain types of metals.

• Pressed ceramic. These dental crowns are capped with porcelain, making them extremely durable and allowing for color matching.

Your dentist will consult with you about the type of crown you require and will always take your unique needs and financial budget into consideration.

To prepare your tooth for a dental crown, Dr. Divya Nagaraj DDS will need to remove some of the enamel on the affected tooth. This allows the crown to fit nicely over the tooth and ensures that your new crown will stay in place once it has been bonded to the tooth. A filling material may be used to help strengthen the tooth and make it more stable before the crown is placed.

Following this, Dr. Divya Nagaraj DDS will take either physical or digital impressions of your teeth. Once complete, these impressions will be sent to a dental lab where your custom dental crown will then be created. This typically takes between 2-3 weeks, so in the meantime your dentist will fit you with a temporary crown while you’re waiting for the permanent one to come in.

Once the dental lab finishes your permanent crown, they’ll send it back to your dentist’s office. From there, the temporary crown will be removed, and the new crown will be inserted and bonded to the tooth using strong dental cement.
