Restore Damaged Teeth with Dental Crowns in Woodway

What Are Dental Crowns?

A dental crown is a custom restoration that covers and protects a damaged or weakened tooth. Crowns are designed to restore the tooth’s strength, shape, and function while blending naturally with the rest of your smile.

Crowns are commonly recommended when a tooth is:

• cracked or fractured
• weakened by a large filling
• severely worn down
• treated with a root canal
• too damaged for a filling alone

When properly designed, a crown protects the remaining tooth structure and allows the tooth to function normally again.

A Conservative Approach to Restoring Teeth

Preserving healthy tooth structure is always a priority.

At WM Dentistry in Woodway, crowns are recommended when a tooth needs additional protection that a filling cannot provide. Dr. Morgan carefully evaluates the condition of the tooth, your bite, and surrounding teeth before recommending treatment.

The goal is not simply to place a crown, but to restore the tooth in a way that supports long-term dental health and maintains a natural appearance.

What to Expect

Evaluation and Diagnosis
‍Your tooth is examined to determine whether a crown is the best way to restore strength and function.

Preparation
‍The tooth is carefully shaped to allow the crown to fit securely and comfortably.

Custom Fabrication
‍Your crown is designed to match the color and shape of your surrounding teeth.

Final Placement
‍The crown is bonded securely and adjusted to ensure proper bite and comfort.

How Long Do Dental Crowns Last?

Dental crowns are designed to be durable and long-lasting. With proper care, many crowns last 10 to 15 years or longer.

Maintaining good oral hygiene, attending regular dental cleanings, and avoiding excessive biting forces can help extend the life of a crown.
