Dental Crowns in Levelland, TX

A dental crown, or cap, is a protective covering that restores a tooth’s shape, size, and strength when fillings or other restorations aren’t enough.

Porcelain crowns are the most popular choice because they blend seamlessly with natural teeth and offer long-lasting durability. Porcelain crowns are made to match the shape, size, and color or your teeth giving you a natural, long-lasting beautiful smile. However, like any dental restoration, they may eventually need replacement.

What to expect during the procedure

A crown typically requires two visits:

    First Appointment● Impressions are taken for your custom crown.● A temporary crown is placed while your permanent one is crafted in a dental lab.● The tooth is shaped and prepared under local anesthesia.
    Second Appointment● The temporary crown is removed, and the tooth is cleaned.● Your new crown is placed, adjusted for fit, and securely bonded.

After placement, proper care and routine checkups will help maintain your crown for years to come.
