Dental Crowns in Plano, TX

What Is a Dental Crown?

A dental crown is a custom-fitted “cap” that completely encases a damaged or compromised tooth. Designed to look and feel like a natural tooth, a crown restores strength, supports chewing, and protects the underlying structure from further damage.

Crowns are often recommended when:

• A tooth has been cracked or fractured
• A large portion of the tooth has decayed or worn away
• A root canal leaves the tooth fragile and in need of protection
• A dental implant requires a natural-looking restoration
• A severely misshapen or discolored tooth needs cosmetic correction

Crown Materials: Durable & Esthetic

At All Day Smiles Dental, we use high-quality porcelain and ceramic materials to craft crowns that replicate the color, strength, and function of real teeth. These options offer:

• Porcelain Crowns: Ideal for front teeth due to their translucent, natural appearance
• Ceramic Crowns: Extremely strong and suitable for back teeth that endure more pressure
• Zirconia or E.max Crowns: Advanced ceramics that provide both strength and esthetics

We’ll help you choose the material that best suits your bite, aesthetic goals, and long-term dental health.

Our Crown Placement Process

1. Initial Evaluation
   During your first visit, we assess the affected tooth and surrounding structure using digital X-rays and intraoral cameras to plan your restoration with precision.
2. Tooth Preparation
   The tooth is gently shaped to make room for the crown. Any old filling or decay is removed, and a build-up may be done if the tooth needs extra support.
3. Digital Impressions
   Using iTero digital scanning technology, we capture an accurate 3D model of your tooth—no messy impressions required.
4. Temporary Crown
   We place a temporary crown while your permanent restoration is crafted in a dental lab.
5. Final Placement
   At your follow-up appointment, your new crown is fitted, adjusted, and bonded permanently. We ensure the shape and bite are just right for comfort and longevity.

Why Choose a Crown Over a Filling?

While dental fillings are great for smaller repairs, a crown is often the better choice when:

• More than half the tooth structure is compromised
• There’s a risk of the tooth fracturing under pressure
• You want to restore both function and cosmetic appearance in one solution

If you're unsure which option is best, our doctors will guide you based on clinical findings and your preferences.
