A dental crown is a custom-made covering that fits snugly over a damaged or weakened tooth to restore its strength, shape, and functionality. At Houston Dentists, we often recommend crowns for teeth that have suffered extensive decay, cracks, or have had root canal treatment. Crowns not only enhance the appearance of your smile but also provide essential protection against further damage. Typically, getting a crown involves two appointments: the first to prepare the tooth and take precise impressions, and the second to fit the permanent crown. Today’s crowns are crafted from durable, natural-looking materials, allowing you to regain confidence in your smile.
For teeth with significant damage yet still healthy enough to avoid a full crown, onlays offer an excellent restorative option. Onlays are carefully designed restorations that cover the entire biting surface while preserving more of your natural tooth than a traditional crown would. Made from strong materials like porcelain or composite resin, onlays are matched to the colour of your teeth for a seamless, aesthetic finish. They provide a reliable and long-lasting solution that maintains both the function and structure of your tooth. Our team ensures your onlay fits perfectly to restore comfort and bite.
At Houston Dentists, we also offer same-day crowns and onlays using CEREC technology. This innovative system uses advanced digital scanning and computer-assisted milling to design and create your restoration right here in the clinic, often completing the entire process in a single visit. With CEREC, you can avoid multiple appointments and temporary restorations, enjoying a beautifully crafted, custom fit restoration on the same day. This modern approach combines convenience with precision, helping you achieve a comfortable, natural-looking result quickly.
BOOK THIS TREATMENT
The dentist prepares the tooth to be crowned by reducing it just enough to allow a crown to fit over it and not appear bulky. An impression of the teeth is taken and used by the technician to make a plaster cast on which the crown is modelled.
A temporary crown is worn for around 14 days whilst the crown is being made. At the next appointment, the dentist will ‘try in’ the crown to check the fit and colour. When both the dentist and client are happy with the overall effect, it will be finally fixed in place.
