Dental Crowns in Fort Worth, TX
Restoring Strength and Appearance with Custom Dental Crowns
When a tooth is cracked, decayed, or weakened, a dental crown offers reliable protection and full restoration of its shape, strength, and appearance. At Bemis Family Dental in Fort Worth, we provide expertly crafted dental crowns that blend seamlessly with your smile while restoring full function.
Whether your tooth has suffered damage from trauma, decay, or a previous large filling, Dr. Nathaniel Bemis will design a custom solution using advanced techniques like digital impressions for precise fit and comfort.
What Is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown is a protective cap that covers a damaged or compromised tooth. It’s designed to restore the tooth's structure, preserve its function, and improve aesthetics.
Crowns are commonly used to:
- Reinforce teeth with large cavities
- Restore fractured or worn-down teeth
- Protect teeth following a root canal
- Cover a dental implant or anchor a dental bridge
- Enhance cosmetic appearance as part of a smile makeover
We offer crowns made from high-quality materials including porcelain, ceramic, and zirconia to match the shade and translucency of your natural teeth.
Our Dental Crown Process
At Bemis Family Dental, we prioritize comfort and efficiency. Our crown process typically involves two visits:
- Preparation
The damaged tooth is gently reshaped to allow space for the crown. We take detailed scans using our iTero digital impression system to ensure a precise and comfortable fit. - Fabrication and Placement
A custom crown is created at a trusted dental lab. While your permanent crown is being made, a temporary crown protects your tooth. At your second visit, we bond the final crown securely in place.
With proper care, a dental crown can last 10–15 years or longer.
When Is a Crown the Right Choice?
A crown may be the best treatment if you experience:
- Deep decay that cannot be treated with a dental filling
- A fractured cusp or large crack
- Extensive wear due to grinding
- A cosmetic flaw that requires complete coverage
- Restoration needs following an implant or tooth extraction
If you're unsure whether a crown is the right fit, Dr. Bemis will explain your options and may recommend alternatives like inlays or onlays for less extensive repairs.
Related Treatments for Full Tooth Restoration
Crowns are often part of a broader restorative or cosmetic plan. We may recommend them alongside:
- Dental implants to replace missing teeth
- Full or partial dentures
- Cosmetic dentistry services like veneers
- Preventive care to protect your restored smile long-term
We also offer emergency dental care if you're dealing with sudden tooth damage that may require a crown.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to get a dental crown?
Typically, the process takes two visits over 1–2 weeks. During the first appointment, we prepare the tooth and take digital impressions. Your final crown is placed during the second visit.
Is a dental crown painful?
No. We use local anesthesia to ensure a pain-free experience during preparation. You may feel mild sensitivity afterward, but this usually resolves within a few days.
Do crowns look natural?
Yes. We use tooth-colored materials like porcelain and zirconia that are custom-matched to your smile. Most people won’t be able to tell you’ve had restorative work.
Can a crown fall off?
While uncommon, a crown can come loose due to wear, decay underneath, or trauma. If this happens, contact us promptly for repair or replacement.
Is a crown better than a filling?
If a tooth has extensive damage, a crown is often a better long-term solution than a filling. Our team will assess your case and help you decide on the best treatment.
