Dental Crowns in Houston, TX
Dental crowns are a standard service our dentist provides near you, Dr. Aisha Husain. If you think you need a crown or experiencing a dental concern, contact Rosary Dental today. We would be happy to provide you with more information about crowns near you and our other services.
What Are Dental Crowns?
Dental crowns look like caps for your teeth. They are placed on top of the teeth and can be used for various concerns, from root canals to cavities.
When selecting a crown to use, our dentist looks for material and color to match your natural teeth. This will help your crown be less noticeable and blend in with the rest of your teeth. Some crown materials include composite resin, porcelain fused to metal, ceramics, and metal alloys.
Are Dental Crowns Permanent?
Dental crowns last anywhere from 5 to 15 years. It’s important to avoid biting your nails or grinding your teeth if you have crowns because this can cause unnecessary wear and tear. However, some wear is normal, and crowns are durable enough to withstand common actions, like chewing.
As your crowns begin to break down, you should talk to our dentist about all of your options. You may need to have your crown replaced.
What Are Crowns Used for?
Crowns are versatile, so our dentist uses them for various dental concerns. Our dentist can resolve many common dental problems with a crown. At Rosary Dental, we use crowns in the following situations:
- To support teeth with large teeth
- To cover stained or discolored teeth
- To cover broken or chipped teeth
- To cover dental implants
- To protect weak or loose teeth
Crowns can be used for cosmetic purposes, so you feel more confident when you’re smiling and showing off your teeth.
