— Crowns are custom-crafted to “cap” a damaged tooth by covering it to provide a natural-looking tooth.

— Crowns are permanently cemented into position and designed to cover the visible portion of the tooth or dental implant that lies above the gum line.

–Essentially, the crown becomes the tooth’s surface, effectively restoring the full function of the tooth.

–Crowns come in a variety of materials such as porcelain, other dental ceramic, metals, or porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns. Your dentist will evaluate your needs and offer recommendations.

–Depending on the type of material used, a dental crown can reinforce and strengthen the tooth.

–Dental crowns are made in a lab, whether on-site or off-site. There, a dental technician will use impressions taken of your teeth to design your crown. Impressions allow your bite and jaw movements to be simulated, which makes for a customized tooth replacement that best suits your mouth.

You can strengthen and reinforce a damaged tooth with the help of a dental crown restoration. If you would like a dental evaluation with our dentists, Dr. Edmon R. Hutchison, please call 972-636-2417 at Royse City Dental Care in Royse City, Texas today!

Staining issues can often be resolved by a professional dental bleaching treatment. Once finished, each tooth in your smile will be scintillating white. We can then help you identify the foods and drinks that likely cause the stains so you can curtail them. At the same time, many people like to add whitening toothpaste or whitening strips to their daily routine to help maintain their white smile.

If you have multiple teeth with chips or visible fillings, your dentists might recommend fitting each tooth in your smile with custom porcelain dental veneers. Once installed, the veneers will look just like your natural teeth and will maintain their white luster for many years to come.

If one or more of your teeth lacks the sufficient enamel to mount a veneer, we might recommend replacing all of the tooth enamel with a porcelain crown. Once installed, the crown will perfectly match the white shade and luster of the dental veneers.

If you have an unappealing smile, you should contact Royse City Dental Care at 972-636-2417 to find the cosmetic dentistry application needed to restore your smile.
