A sudden injury or developing decay can result in a tooth requiring restorative treatment. One of the most common solutions is dental crowns in Killeen. Designed to fit over an affected tooth, a dental crown protects against bacteria, harmful particles, and external elements that could harm your natural smile. Call to schedule an appointment with our team if you believe your tooth could benefit from a custom dental crown.
Decay and damage can no longer affect your smile when you allow dental crowns to improve your oral health and prevent extraction. Offering protection that fits over your entire teeth, these restorations appear lifelike and deliver long-lasting results, keeping you smiling confidently year after year.
Receiving a dental crown requires our team to examine your smile and determine if it is the right treatment option. If so, we will have you return on another day to begin the process.
We will begin by administering local anesthesia to numb the area surrounding your tooth. Once you are comfortable, we will start cleaning out the decayed or damaged portions of the tooth. We will then file down the tooth and take impressions to fabricate a custom dental crown. This will be placed over the affected tooth for added protection once it is returned to our office.
Once it is bonded in place, you can begin using your teeth to eat, speak, and smile, without worrying that your new restoration will move out of place.
If you choose one-visit crown restoration, we will fabricate it in-house using a milling unit, reducing your wait time and allowing you to walk out with a new, fully restored smile in a single appointment.
