Restorative dentistry in Troup
Rebuild and protect a tooth that needs more support than a filling can provide.
A dental crown covers the visible portion of a weakened tooth to restore shape, strength, and function. Crowns may be recommended for cracked or heavily worn teeth, large fillings, teeth treated with root canal therapy, or dental implant restorations.
Crown materials may include porcelain, metal-free zirconia, or gold. We recommend the material and design that best match the tooth’s location, visible appearance, bite forces, remaining structure, and your priorities for comfort and longevity.
When a tooth may need more protection
- A tooth is cracked, worn, or weakened by a large filling
- A crown has loosened, fractured, or no longer fits well
- A tooth has completed root canal therapy and needs protection
- An implant is ready for its final visible restoration
Planning and placing a custom crown
Most traditional crown treatment takes two main visits. The tooth is evaluated and shaped, then a digital scan or impression is used to design the restoration. A temporary crown protects the tooth while the dental laboratory completes the final crown. At the return visit, fit, appearance, contacts, and bite are checked before cementation.
How a custom crown is planned
Prepare
Evaluate the tooth, remove compromised material, and shape it for coverage.
