Dental Crowns in San Antonio, TX

Your smile is one of your most valuable assets, and dental crowns are a powerful solution for protecting and enhancing it. At Heritage Dental & Orthodontics in San Antonio, TX, we specialize in crafting custom dental crowns that restore both the functionality and appearance of damaged teeth.If you need a crown to cover a cracked tooth or to complete a dental implant, we’re here to help you smile with confidence.

Dental crowns, often referred to as “caps,” are custom-made restorations that cover and protect a tooth’s entire surface. These restorations are essential for:

• Protecting Weakened Teeth: Prevent further damage or decay in compromised teeth.
• Restoring Function: Allow you to chew and speak comfortably.
• Enhancing Appearance: Improve the size, shape, and color of your teeth for a natural look.

We use high-quality materials, including porcelain and ceramic, to create crowns that blend with your natural teeth.

Dental crowns are a versatile and durable solution for a variety of dental issues, including:

• Large cavities that can’t be repaired with a filling.
• Fractured or cracked teeth needing extra support.
• Teeth that have undergone root canal therapy.
• Replacement of missing teeth with dental implants.
• Cosmetic improvements for discolored or misshapen teeth.

With dental crowns, you can reclaim both your oral health and the beauty of your smile.

Getting a dental crown is a straightforward process that typically takes two visits:

1. Initial Visit:
   • We’ll carefully examine your tooth/teeth and take digital impressions.
   • The tooth will be prepared, and a temporary crown will be placed to protect it.
2. Second Visit:
   • Once your custom crown is ready, it will be bonded securely to your tooth.
   • Adjustments will be made to ensure a comfortable and natural fit.

In some cases, we also offer same-day crowns using advanced technology, so you can leave our office with a fully restored tooth in just one visit.

Dental crowns offer an array of benefits that make them a preferred choice for restoring teeth:

• Natural appearance that matches your existing teeth.
• Strength and durability for long-lasting results.
• Protection against further decay or damage.
• Improved confidence with a complete and radiant smile.

To keep your crowns in great shape, follow these simple care tips:

• Practice good oral hygiene, brushing twice a day and flossing daily.
• Avoid biting on hard objects, like ice or pens, to prevent damage.
• Visit us regularly for professional cleanings and check-ups to ensure your crown remains secure and functional.

With proper care, dental crowns can last many years, providing you with a reliable and aesthetically pleasing solution.
