Restore and Protect Your Smile
A severely damaged or decayed tooth can impact both the appearance and comfort of your smile. Porcelain crowns offer an ideal cosmetic solution, restoring the tooth’s strength and structure while preserving as much of the natural tooth as possible. At Lifetime Dental & Implant Center in Katy, TX, Dr. Bhawsar often recommends porcelain crowns to enhance both the function and aesthetics of a tooth, especially following a root canal, and to prevent the need for extraction. These crowns not only improve the tooth's appearance but also blend seamlessly with your natural smile, making them a perfect choice for addressing both cosmetic and practical concerns.
Benefits of Porcelain Crowns
A porcelain crown not only strengthens a weakened tooth but also elevates the appearance of your smile. Premium porcelain crowns offer a range of benefits, including:
- Enhanced strength and durability for a longer-lasting tooth
- Protection against further damage or decay
- Restoration of the tooth’s natural shape and function
- Improved aesthetic appearance of your smile
- Seamless, natural-looking results that blend perfectly with your teeth
Porcelain Crowns Procedure
During your consultation, Dr. Bhawsar will conduct a thorough oral exam, discuss your cosmetic goals, and determine if a porcelain crown is the ideal solution for you. Each crown is meticulously crafted to provide optimal aesthetics, functionality, and comfort. After taking a precise impression of the affected tooth, Dr. Bhawsar will send it to a dental lab to create your custom crown, which will be color-matched to seamlessly blend with your natural teeth. Once your crown is ready, you'll return to our office for final placement, where Dr. Bhawsar will securely bond it, restoring both the function and beauty of your smile

- The type of tooth being treated (e.g., a molar vs. a front tooth)
