Dental Crowns New Braunfels

Why Would You Need a Dental Crown?

A dental crown can restore a tooth that has been misshapen, severely broken, or weakened by an old filling, especially when a hairline crack is causing unexplained pain. Crowns are also used to replace a missing tooth, correct a chipped or stained tooth in your smile line, or protect a tooth that has had a root canal from further breakage. Whatever the cause, a dental crown is designed to restore your tooth’s full function and support your overall oral health.

Benefits of Dental Crowns

Dental crowns are made to blend naturally with your smile while correcting appearance issues like staining, chipping, or misshapen teeth. Because a crown restores the full shape and strength of your tooth, it can also resolve chewing problems caused by damage or decay. With proper care, a dental crown can last 20 to 30 years, offering one of the longest-lasting corrections available in dentistry.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Crowns

How Long Do Dental Crowns Last? 

A dental crown can last 20 to 30 years with proper care, making it one of the closest options to a permanent correction in dentistry. This durability comes from the high-grade porcelain and porcelain-bonded-to-gold materials used to craft each dental crown. Regular checkups help our team monitor your crown and catch any concerns early.

Does Getting a Dental Crown Hurt?

Getting a dental crown is a routine, well-established procedure completed over two office visits. Our team takes the time to explain each step and keep you comfortable, so you know what to expect throughout your visit. If dental visits make you nervous, let us know, and we will help you feel informed and at ease.

How Do I Care for My Dental Crown?

You can care for your crown much the way you care for your natural teeth, with regular brushing, flossing, and checkups. Avoiding excessive force from hard or sticky foods can also help protect your crown over time. Keeping up with routine visits allows our team to check on your crown and support its long-term durability.
