Dental Crowns

When you’re missing one or multiple teeth, you want a way to restore your smile. Missing or damaged teeth can make you feel more self-conscious, and you might not even want to smile at all if you feel overly aware of your teeth.

But, the truth is that missing and damaged teeth aren’t just cosmetic issues. Over time, you could end up facing more serious dental problems, including losing bone density in your jaw or getting an infection in your gums.

Of course, every person is different, so finding the right replacement tooth option will depend on your oral health needs. At OKC Smiles, our dentist and friendly staff are here to offer a wide range of cosmetic and restorative dentistry options to patients in Oklahoma City and beyond. One of these options we provide is dental crowns. Learn more about dental crowns here or reach out to schedule a consultation.

Dental Crowns at OKC Smiles in Oklahoma City

Happy Oklahoma City dental crowns patient near Moore and Norman OKDr. Mark Phan, DDS, and Dr. Kevin Murray, DDS, have a few questions for you. Do you have a cracked or broken tooth? What about a tooth that’s decayed too much to hold a dental filling? Did you know that if the crack or decay extends into your tooth’s root, you will have an even worse problem on your hands? Dental crowns are a natural-looking and comfortable solution to fix cracked, broken, or excessively decayed teeth.

What Is a Dental Crown?

A tooth crown is a composite, tooth-shaped cap that covers the problematic tooth completely. Simply put, dental crowns are like a protective covering that goes over a damaged tooth. They are created using a material, often a porcelain composite, that matches your natural teeth. This way, the crown blends in with the rest of your teeth and improves the appearance of your smile.

Dr. Phan or Dr. Murray can fit a tooth crown tightly at the base of a patient’s gum in order to protect what remains of the natural tooth.

Preserving the natural tooth is usually the best thing to do for many reasons and dental crowns offer a fantastic way to preserve the root and crown base of your tooth. A well-crafted dental crown will look like a natural tooth and will most likely never be detected by anyone as a tooth crown replacement.
