Porcelain Crowns in Houston, TX

Modern dentistry offers more options than ever to restore and maintain an optimal level of health. While the strength and beauty of materials continue to advance, the practitioner’s skill makes a significant difference in every outcome. Drs. Nimri and Zingalis focus on utilizing the best techniques for comprehensive care, restoring even the most damaged mouths to full health.

Sometimes, teeth undergo significant damage due to cavities, heavy bite forces, trauma, or even normal functioning. When a root canal is needed, the tooth may have a severely compromised nerve and be especially fragile. Many situations can leave teeth in danger of loss if treatment is bypassed. Dental crowns or caps allow teeth to rebuild and are covered with materials that mimic nature. Not only are most “capped” teeth indistinguishable from natural teeth, but they’re also extremely secure and comfortable.

Crowns can be used to repair a single tooth, multiple teeth (including the entire mouth), or in conjunction with dental implants to fill a space. In fact, when missing teeth enter the equation, special consideration might be given to placing a dental bridge or implants.

One Simple Step

Once your case is planned, it will only take two appointments to leave you with a restored tooth. At the first visit, teeth are gently prepared to create enough space for a master lab technician to place porcelain over the tooth. Drs. Nimri and Zingalis provide all the information to a specialized lab that’s needed to create a masterpiece. A temporary crown allows you to function normally until the crown arrives for placement, typically within 2-3 weeks.

After hours of custom craft work in the lab, you’ll return for a second appointment. Drs. Nimri and Zingalis will evaluate the appearance and fit of the crown before bonding it strongly into place. Minor adjustments to your bite and a final polish leave you with one of the finest restorations in dentistry.
