Dental Crowns in Plano, TX

Our Dental Crown Procedure

1. Initial Consultation

During your first visit, Dr. Simmons will perform a comprehensive examination of your teeth and oral health. He will evaluate the condition of the tooth in question and determine if a dental crown is the best solution for you.

2. Treatment Planning

If a dental crown is recommended, Dr. Simmons will discuss the treatment plan with you. This includes choosing the material for your crown (such as porcelain, ceramic, or metal) and selecting the shade that matches the color of your natural teeth.

3. Tooth Preparation

To ensure a proper fit, a small amount of the tooth’s outer structure will be gently removed. This step allows space for the crown to be placed securely without altering your bite.

4. Impression Taking

An impression of the prepared tooth and neighboring teeth will be taken to create a custom-made dental crown. The impression is sent to a dental laboratory where skilled technicians will craft your crown to precise specifications.

5. Temporary Crown Placement

While your permanent crown is being fabricated, a temporary crown will be placed to protect the prepared tooth. It also provides aesthetic and functional benefits until your final crown is ready.

6. Crown Placement

Once your permanent crown is ready, you will return to our dental office for its placement. Dr. Simmons will carefully check the fit, color, and appearance of the crown before permanently bonding it to your tooth. Any necessary adjustments will be made to ensure optimal comfort and functionality.

7. Final Touches

After the crown is securely in place, Dr. Simmons will make final adjustments to ensure your bite is balanced and comfortable. He will provide instructions on how to care for your new crown to ensure its longevity.

Caring for Your Dental Crowns

• Brush and Floss: Regular brushing and flossing are vital to keeping your dental crowns and surrounding teeth clean and free from plaque buildup.
• Avoid Chewing Hard Objects: Refrain from chewing on hard objects such as ice, pens, or nuts, as they can damage your crowns.
• Wear a Mouthguard: If you participate in contact sports or grind your teeth at night, wearing a mouthguard can protect your crowns from potential damage.
• Schedule Regular Check-ups: Visit Dr. Thomas A. Simmons, DDS, for routine dental check-ups and cleanings so we can monitor the condition of your dental crowns.
