Tooth enamel may be the strongest part of the entire body, but it isn’t entirely resilient to damage. There are numerous different ways that teeth can become damaged, including poor dental hygiene, a sports injury, or an unexpected accident.

That’s why we offer dental crowns at ProSmiles Dental & Orthodontics of Hurst. To learn more about how customized dental crowns in Hurst can protect your compromised teeth, give us a call!
Dental crowns are customized, crafted caps that are made to fit over the chewing surface of damaged or weakened teeth above the gumline.

Having a dental crown placed is relatively straightforward. It can generally be completed in just two appointments. First, we’ll take a look at your smile to make sure that a dental crown is the best option for you. Once this is confirmed, a thin layer of enamel needs to be removed. This creates room for the crown to fit comfortably in your mouth and appear natural. An impression is then taken and sent to the dental laboratory where your crown will be crafted.
