Dental Crowns
in Bridge City, TX

Is there a tooth in your mouth that bothers you? Do you have trouble eating or communicating clearly? Our team of dentists near you at Edgerly Dentistry can restore both form and function to your smile with a dental crown. Learn how our dentists near you can use a lifelike metal-free dental crown to help safeguard a tooth after treatment.

How Do Dental Crowns Work?

Physical damage or untreated disease can cause a tooth to become weaker. A root canal may be required if a tooth has become so compromised that it is causing pain. Before fitting a permanent dental crown, our dentist can conduct a virtually painless root canal to treat your tooth.

Benefits of Dental Crowns

Edgerly Dentistry can install a dental crown over the afflicted tooth after treatment at our dentistry practices to protect it from further harm. Here are the benefits of dental crowns:

  • You may be able to prevent extraction by receiving prompt treatment with a dental crown near you.
  • Dental crowns composed of sophisticated materials such as zirconia are available from our dentist. These materials are more durable than standard dental porcelain, and with good care and regular checkups, they can last for over a decade.
  • If your tooth is too compromised to salvage or you’ve already lost a tooth, our dentist can cover the gap in your smile with an implant-supported dental crown.
  • Dental implants not only give a secure foundation for a crown, but they can also prevent jawbone atrophy caused by tooth loss.
  • A crown made of zirconia or IPS e.max glass-ceramic is developed to mirror the light-reflective properties of natural tooth enamel, providing greater aesthetic outcomes than traditional porcelain. Our dentist will match the color of your new dental crown to the rest of your teeth.

FAQ's

What is a dental crown and why might I need one?

A dental crown is a custom-made “cap” that covers a damaged, cracked, or weakened tooth to restore its strength and appearance. Crowns protect teeth that have large fillings, cracks, or after Root Canal Therapy, helping you bite and chew normally again. If you’re experiencing persistent tooth pain or visible damage, our dentist in Bridge City, TX can evaluate if a crown is right for you. Call us today to schedule your evaluation.

How long do dental crowns last?

With proper care—like brushing twice daily, flossing, and regular dental checkups—a crown can last many years, sometimes over a decade. Porcelain and zirconia materials we use at Edgerly Dentistry are especially durable when paired with good home care. Reach out to our dental office near you to learn how to maximize crown longevity.

Does it hurt to get a dental crown?

Most patients feel little to no discomfort during placement because we numb the area before beginning. You might feel mild sensitivity for a few days afterward, but this typically resolves quickly. If you have concerns about comfort, let us know—we tailor care to keep you relaxed throughout the process. Book your painless crown consultation today.

How many visits does it take to get a crown?

Typically, you will have two appointments: one to prepare the tooth and take impressions, and another to place your custom-made crown. Between visits, a temporary crown protects your prepared tooth. Schedule your visit at our dental office near you and let us explain each step.

Can a crown prevent a tooth from being extracted?

Yes! A well-fitted crown can often strengthen a damaged tooth enough to avoid extraction, preserving your natural smile. This is one way we help patients retain their teeth and avoid more invasive procedures. Talk to our team about saving your tooth with a crown.

Are there different types of crowns?

Yes, crowns can be made from several materials including ceramic, porcelain fused to metal, or zirconia. We choose materials that offer strength and aesthetic appeal, matching your smile beautifully. Contact us at Edgerly Dentistry to explore your crown options.

Can I get a crown the same day?

In some cases with advanced technology, same-day crowns are possible. Our team will assess your tooth and let you know if you qualify for an efficient same-appointment solution. Call our dental office near you to ask about same-day crowns.

What should I eat after getting a crown?

In the first 24 hours, it’s best to avoid very hard or sticky foods (like nuts or caramel) to let the crown settle. After that, you can usually return to your normal diet. For personalized guidance, contact our dentist in Bridge City, TX.

Can a crown replace a filling that keeps failing?

If a large filling keeps breaking or if decay continues beneath it, a crown may be the better, long-lasting solution. Our dentist can assess your situation and recommend the most durable treatment plan. Book a consult to see if a crown is right for you.

How do I care for a crowned tooth?

Care for crowned teeth just like your natural ones—brush gently at least twice a day, floss underneath the crown margin daily, and maintain regular checkups to catch problems early. Set up your next hygiene visit at our dental office near you.
