Contact UsWhat Are Dental Crowns?
When a tooth has become compromised due to significant damage or decay, a standard treatment is usually to restore it with a dental crown. Our patient-friendly dental office is pleased to provide dental crowns to Cedar Hill, TX patients to protect and strengthen the visible portion of an individual tooth while also giving it a more natural appearance and function. Dental crowns are custom-crafted to blend beautifully with your natural teeth and are often recommended to treat broken teeth, severe cavities, teeth that are misshapen, and further types of tooth damage. These restorations can also be combined into a unit to function as a bridge or attached to individual implants to replace a tooth that is missing. Schedule a consultation with Dr. Candace Brown and our dental practitioners at Fresh Dentistry to find out if a custom-tailored crown can enhance the health and appearance of your smile.

What Can I Expect During My Dental Crown Treatment?
Dental crown treatments are generally done in two visits to our office in Cedar Hill, TX. During your first visit, one of our highly trained team members will numb the affected tooth before working to clear out any decay or damage. If you like, we can also offer more advanced sedation options for your comfort. When the damaged area has been cleared away, we will take a digital impression of the tooth and send it to a dental laboratory where your custom crown will be created. To protect your tooth in the meantime, Dr. Brown will attach a temporary crown. You will need to schedule a return visit at Fresh Dentistry a couple of weeks later to have the interim crown removed and the new restoration attached to the tooth or dental implant post.
On your second visit, Dr. Brown will place your finished crown and make adjustments as needed to ensure the best comfort and function. Our team will speak with you about the ideal way to clean your dental restoration and go over brushing and flossing practices. When you visit for your biannual dental appointments at our Cedar Hill, TX practice, one of our professionals will track the condition of your restoration and your oral wellness. When cared for properly, a crown can help preserve your tooth for several years.

Dental Crowns FAQs
Do I need a dental crown or a bridge?
Whether you need a dental crown or a bridge depends on your dental condition. A dental crown is used to cover and protect a damaged tooth, while a dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring to adjacent teeth. Dr. Brown will assess your specific needs and recommend the best option for you.
How do you take care of a dental crown?
Taking care of a dental crown involves brushing twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, flossing daily to remove plaque between your teeth, and using an antibacterial mouthwash. Regular dental check-ups and cleanings at Fresh Dentistry are essential to ensure the health of your crowned tooth and surrounding teeth.
How long do dental crowns last?
Dental crowns typically last between 10 – 15 years. With proper care and regular dental visits, they can last even longer. Maintaining good oral hygiene and avoiding habits like grinding your teeth or chewing on hard objects can help extend the life of your dental crown.
