DENTAL CROWNS

When Is a Dental Crown the Answer?

A custom dental crown can be the perfect way to get your smile back to feeling healthy and looking great, solving issues with both the function and appearance of a tooth. Our team might recommend one for you in several common situations, especially if your tooth:

• Is significantly worn down, cracked, or broken.
• Has a large, old filling and needs extra support.
• Is weakened after a root canal procedure.
• Is severely discolored and won’t respond to whitening.
• Needs to anchor a dental bridge in place.
• Is the final step in completing a dental implant.

Your Journey to a Restored Smile

Creating a high-quality, custom crown that fits perfectly is a process we handle with great care. Your journey with us will involve two comfortable visits to our DeSoto office.

Visit One: Preparing Your Tooth & Designing Your Crown

First, we’ll make sure you are completely numb and comfortable. Dr. Varkey will gently reshape the damaged tooth to create the ideal foundation for the crown. Next, we’ll take a precise digital impression, which our trusted dental lab will use to craft your beautiful, permanent crown. You’ll leave this first visit with a protective temporary crown that allows you to eat and smile normally.

The Final Step: Your Permanent Crown

The goal of your second visit is that wonderful feeling of having a strong, complete smile again. Your permanent crown, carefully crafted by our lab partners to blend in beautifully, will be ready for you. We’ll bond it securely into place and then fine-tune every detail until it feels like it has always been there. Our final check ensures your bite is comfortable and you’re ready to leave feeling whole and confident.

Designed With You in Mind

Because every smile is unique, this is a decision we’ll make together. We’ll chat about where the new crown will be in your mouth and what your goals are, helping you choose an option that offers the strength you need and a look you’ll absolutely love.

• Porcelain Crowns: Ideal for teeth in your “smile zone,” porcelain is expertly shaded and shaped to blend seamlessly with your neighboring teeth. No one will ever know it’s not your natural tooth.
• Gold & Noble Metal Crowns: Known for their incredible strength and durability, these crowns are an excellent choice for back molars that withstand heavy chewing forces.
