In the bustling community of Memorial, Houston, dental crowns are a popular choice for those looking to restore the function and appearance of their teeth. Dental crowns are custom-made caps designed to cover a damaged tooth, providing strength and improving its shape, alignment, and appearance.
At RH Dentistry, Dr. Michelle Boecker and Dr. Courtney Kleiber specialize in lab-made dental crowns, ensuring precision and quality. These crowns are crafted from durable materials like porcelain, ceramic, or metal, and are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. Whether you’re dealing with a cracked tooth, a large filling, or simply want to enhance your smile, dental crowns offer a reliable and aesthetically pleasing solution.

Why Should I Get Dental Crowns?
Dental crowns offer a multitude of benefits beyond just cosmetic enhancement. If you have a weak tooth that’s at risk of breaking, a crown can provide the necessary reinforcement to prevent further damage. They are also ideal for restoring a tooth that has already been broken or severely worn down. Furthermore, dental crowns can support a tooth with a large filling when there isn’t much tooth left. For those who have undergone root canal treatment, a crown can protect the treated tooth, ensuring its longevity. Additionally, dental crowns are used to cover dental implants, providing a natural-looking tooth replacement.

The Benefits Of Dental Crowns
Restored Functionality
Dental crowns restore the function of a damaged tooth, allowing you to chew and speak comfortably. By covering the entire tooth, crowns provide strength and stability, making it easier to enjoy your favorite foods without discomfort or worry.
Enhanced Aesthetics
Crafted to match the color and shape of your natural teeth, dental crowns offer a seamless look. They can dramatically improve your smile by covering imperfections, such as discoloration, chips, or misshapen teeth, boosting your confidence.
Durability and Longevity
Made from high-quality materials, dental crowns are designed to withstand daily wear and tear. With proper care, they can last for many years, making them a durable investment in your oral health and overall well-being.
The Dental Crown Treatment Process
Initial Consultation and Assessment
During your initial visit to RH Dentistry, Dr. Boecker or Dr. Kleiber will conduct a thorough examination of your teeth. This includes taking X-rays to assess the extent of damage and determine the most suitable treatment plan. They will discuss your options, answer any questions, and ensure you feel comfortable with the process. This step is crucial for creating a personalized treatment plan that meets your unique needs and goals.
Tooth Preparation and Impression
Once you decide to proceed with a dental crown, the next step involves preparing the tooth. This may include removing any decay and reshaping the tooth to accommodate the crown. After preparation, an impression of your tooth is taken, which is sent to a lab where your custom crown is crafted. A temporary crown is placed to protect your tooth while your permanent crown is being made.
Crown Placement and Final Adjustments
When your custom crown is ready, you’ll return to RH Dentistry for its placement. Dr. Boecker or Dr. Kleiber will ensure the crown fits perfectly, checking for comfort and proper bite alignment. Any necessary adjustments are made before the crown is permanently cemented in place. This final step ensures a secure fit and a natural-looking restoration that enhances both the function and appearance of your smile.
