When Do Dental Crowns Need to Be Replaced?

Do you need to replace your dental crown?

Crowns may need to be replaced for cosmetic or oral health reasons. Replace your dental crown if you feel pain or swelling, or notice your gum line receding. Additionally, a dental crown is no longer effective if it is loose or damaged. Dr. Mark Sowell and his professional dental team craft custom dental crowns to patients in the Plano, Texas area. Learn more about the dental crown treatment below.

Dental Crown Treatment in Plano, TX

Dental crowns are used to:

  • Stabilize a tooth after a root canal or dental filling
  • Repair weak and damaged teeth
  • Cover a dental implant
  • Support a dental bridge
  • Brighten discolored teeth

Before treating patients, Dr. Sowell takes their goals, into consideration. He examines teeth and gums to see if they are healthy enough for treatment. If needed, Dr. Sowell will provide root canal treatment, a dental filling, or remove an old dental crown. The tooth or teeth receiving treatment are reshaped and given digital impressions. Dr. Sowell and ceramist James Chung work together to create ceramic dental crowns and porcelain veneers at our in-office laboratory. When complete, the custom dental crown or crowns are secured for patient comfort.
