Crowns, Inlays, and Onlays
A broken or severely worn tooth requires special care to regain appearance and function. At our Fort Worth dental office, Dr. Stovall and Dr. Cheng expertly restore structural integrity to compromised teeth with crowns, inlays, and onlays.
Our dentists use all-ceramic, porcelain-fused-to-metal, and gold crowns for custom restorations. We’ll consider the location of your tooth and the amount of stress it receives to determine which material to use. Crowns, also called caps, fit snugly atop damaged teeth. A custom-made crown will match your existing tooth color, so it will blend seamlessly into your smile.
Custom crowns take two visits to design and place. At your consultation, we’ll examine your mouth, take a dental impression, and fit you with a temporary. A skilled ceramist at a trusted lab will hand make your custom restoration from highly esthetic dental porcelain that reflects light like natural tooth enamel. When your crown is completed, we’ll remove your temporary and permanently affix the new crown to renew your smile and return oral comfort, function, and strength.
If a damaged tooth doesn’t need a full crown but requires more restoration than a filling can provide, our dentists may recommend an inlay or onlay. Like crowns, inlays and onlays are custom-made restorations that provide integrity to compromised teeth. Inlays fit within the cusps, or bumps, of a tooth. Onlays fit over one or more bumps.
For our patients who don’t require a custom restoration, we can mill a durable, natural-looking crown, inlay, or onlay in about an hour with our revolutionary CEREC machine. Click here to learn more.
