DENTAL CROWN SERVICES IN AMARILLO

Benefits of Receiving a Dental Crown

If you have recently experienced extreme tooth damage, trauma, or decay, a crown might be the perfect restoration solution for you. Crowns are a protective covering that encases the entire tooth—restoring the size and shape of the original tooth. Thanks to continued advancements in dentistry, crowns no longer need to evoke a smile full of silver or gold, and at Oneida Dental, we use the most advanced porcelain and porcelain “pasted on gold” crowns to restore function and create a natural-looking smile.

Our local team is renowned for the quality of our work, and we strive to deliver crowns that are beautiful, functional, and long-lasting to patients throughout Amarillo and the surrounding areas.

5 benefits of dental crowns:

1. Replaces missing teeth or teeth that have gone through a root canal
2. Offers support to misshapen or badly broken teeth
3. Are tooth-colored to restore a natural-looking smile
4. Restores chewing and speaking function
5. Long-lasting, often lasting 20 to 30 years

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO FIT A DENTAL CROWN?

Typically, it takes two visits to properly fit a crown. That is because we customize every crown to your tooth’s specific size and shape. During your first visit, we will remove decay, shape the tooth, and put in a temporary crown. On the subsequent visit, we remove the temporary crown and properly fit your porcelain crown—adjusting as needed to leave you with a comfortable and effective bite. Finally, we cement the crown into place to ensure a truly durable restoration.
