Dental Crowns

Protect your dental work with porcelain crowns created by Dr. Gayken's cosmetic dentistry team in The Woodlands, TX.

The dental office of Dawn Gayken, DDS, PLLC offers a full line of services to the residents of The Woodlands, TX. Instead of visiting an expensive specialist for your next crown, Dr. Gayken can offer this service in conjunction with your original restoration work. As a full-service family dentistry practice, our office can provide a complete range of dental procedures to meet the dental needs of your entire family.

A Crown Provides a Variety of Benefits

While traditional fillings, inlays and onlays are sufficient for small cavities, these dental procedures don't provide enough stability to protect the overall structure when the filling is large or a root-canal is needed. Crowns are also used to give a single tooth a complete makeover when cosmetic defects are present. The seating process is a surgical-free procedure and causes little discomfort.

Crowns are generally a two visit procedure. The first visit to prepare the tooth and take impressions. The second visit is to deliver the crown. In between visits, a temporary restoration is worn.

A Natural Look

Crowns are often referred to as dental caps. However, today's porcelain crowns are nothing like the older, metallic caps that you may have had as a child. Modern porcelain crowns are custom-made to match your natural teeth perfectly in both structure and color. This realistic, permanent cover provides an attractive dental fixture to make your tooth look like new while making it physically stronger. A crown simply covers your existing tooth instead of completely replacing it.
