Dental Crowns in Arlington, TX

---

Your smile is one of your most valuable assets. Whether you're chatting with friends, attending a business meeting, or laughing at a joke, your teeth are on full display. Arlington Dental Clinic understands the significance of a radiant smile and offers premier dental crowns in Arlington, TX, to ensure that you can show off your teeth with confidence.

A dental crown is a tooth-shaped "cap" that's placed over a tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. When cemented in place, the crown fully encases the visible portion of the tooth above the gum line. Dental crowns have both cosmetic and practical benefits, making them a popular choice for those looking to improve the functionality and look of their teeth.

1. Aesthetic Appeal: Dental crowns restore the shape and size of your teeth, improving the overall appearance of your smile.

2. Strength: Crowns protect weak teeth from breaking or holding together parts of a cracked tooth.

3. Restoration: Dental crowns restore already broken teeth or teeth that have been worn down.

4. Protection: They cover and support a tooth with a large filling when there aren’t a lot of teeth left. They can also shield a tooth from decay.

Not everyone requires a dental crown, but it can be beneficial in various scenarios. You might be a candidate for dental crowns in Arlington, TX if you have a weakened tooth due to decay, cracks, or other damages, which risks breaking without additional support. Individuals with discolored or misshapen teeth often opt for crowns for aesthetic reasons. 

Moreover, if you've undergone a root canal treatment, crowns are typically necessary to protect the restored tooth. Those with a large filling that needs extra support might also benefit from a dental crown. During your consultation at Arlington Dental Clinic, our dentists will thoroughly examine your oral health and recommend if a crown is suitable for your specific needs.

At Arlington Dental Clinic, we ensure that the process of getting a dental crown is as comfortable and efficient as possible:

1. Initial Consultation: The first step is an assessment to determine if you require a crown or if there's a better solution to your dental issue.

2. Tooth Preparation: If a crown is deemed necessary, the tooth is prepared. This may involve reshaping the tooth to make space for the crown. An impression is then taken to ensure a precise fit.

3. Crown Fabrication: The impression is sent to a dental lab, where the crown is made. During this time, a temporary crown is often placed to protect the tooth.

4. Crown Placement: Once your dental crown is ready, you'll come back to our clinic. The dentist will fit and adjust the crown to ensure a perfect fit and then cement it into place.

With proper care, dental crowns can last for many years. It's essential to:

• Brush and floss daily.
• Avoid chewing hard foods or objects with your crowned tooth.
• Schedule regular dental checkups at Arlington Dental Clinic.
