Dental Crowns
Decayed or damaged teeth can detract from your appearance and interfere with your dental function and oral health.
Dental crowns are natural-looking, tooth-shaped caps that have the strength and durability necessary for long-lasting results.
At Imagecare Dental Group in Plano, TX, our dentists provide high-quality crowns to restore function, aesthetics, and health.
Our Dentists Protect Compromised Teeth With Dental Crowns
Our dentists will often use a porcelain crown to reinforce a compromised tooth that has been affected by trauma or decay. They prefer porcelain crowns because they're a versatile dentistry solution that is durable and blends in seamlessly with surrounding teeth.
The Benefits of Dental Crowns
Improved Oral Health
Dental crowns add strength and reinforcement to decayed, damaged, or broken teeth, reducing the risk of future problems.
Enhanced Aesthetics
Dental crowns can also be used to address cosmetic issues, including chipping, misshapen teeth, and deep discoloration.
Long-Lasting Results
Made from high-quality dental materials like porcelain, crowns can last up to 15 years with proper care – even longer in some cases.
When Is a Crown Necessary?
These are the main reasons your dentist may recommend a dental crown:
If a tooth is partially decayed or fractured, a crown can be used to reinforce the tooth and reduce the risk of future damage.
Some teeth can fracture but remain relatively healthy. In these cases, a crown can stabilize and restore the tooth.
Deep intrinsic staining that does not respond to teeth whitening can be addressed with dental crowns.
Root canal therapy is used to treat infected teeth. After the root canal process, a dental crown is often placed to reinforce the tooth.
We can attach crowns to dental implants. These titanium implants are placed in the jaw to replace missing tooth roots.

Imagecare Dental Group in Plano, TX, is a restorative dentistry practice offering a variety of dental crowns to meet a range of needs:
Temporary Crowns
Temporary crowns are typically made from a composite resin or acrylic material. A temporary crown is intended for short-term use while the dental lab creates your permanent crown. Your temporary crown can help you maintain a normal appearance, enunciation, and chewing efficiency during this time.
Same-Day Crowns
In many cases, we can use our iTero® digital scanner and CAD/CAM (computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing) technology to create same-day permanent crowns in a single appointment for your convenience.
Porcelain Crowns
These permanent crowns are made from porcelain and mimic the natural translucency of dental enamel, making them virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth. Same-day crowns are made of porcelain; more premium grades of porcelain may require having the crown made by a partner lab.
Implant-Supported Crowns
Instead of covering teeth, these crowns are attached to dental implants to completely replace a lost tooth from the roots to the chewing surface.

Dental Crown Candidacy
To qualify for this type of treatment, patients must be free from gum disease, as this condition can impede the long-term success of your restoration. Furthermore, individuals should have a full understanding of the treatment process and realistic expectations of outcomes. Dental crowns are often a wonderful solution for patients with:
- Moderate to severe tooth decay
- Enough healthy natural tooth structure to support a restoration
- Broken, cracked, or fractured teeth
- Missing teeth (in the case of implant-supported crowns)
- Cosmetic concerns, such as chips, cracks, or discoloration
Receiving Your Crown What to Expect
Placement of a dental crown can be completed in one or two visits, depending on your specific needs. Here are the basic steps you can expect during treatment at Imagecare Dental Group in Plano, TX.
If you opt for a same-day crown, our milling machine can produce a custom-designed crown in less than an hour.
We aim to create results you love — and we'll make sure you're satisfied.
You're Not Alone. We Can Help!
The idea of placing a new dental crown — or replacing an older one — can sound daunting.
So, it may comfort you to know that the American College of Prosthodontics determined that dentists place about 2.3 million implant-supported crowns each year.
They also note that of all the restorative dental procedures, adding an implant-supported crown to your smile is the most frequently-practiced one.
In other words, like many other people, you can benefit from this helpful procedure.
If you're ready to smile confidently again, we can assist you! If you still have questions, don't hesitate to reach out. Contact Imagecare Dental Group in Plano, TX, or call us to request your consultation at:

Dental Crown FAQ
Before you visit your dentist, here are answers to a few common questions:
Will treatment hurt?
No! We will gently inject a local anesthetic into your gums for virtually pain-free dental crown placement.
Do you offer sedation?
Yes! At Imagecare Dental Group in Plano, TX, we offer oral conscious sedation, nitrous oxide, and IV sedation. We know that you might have been dealing with a lot of discomfort lately, so we want to make your visit as pleasant as possible. Talk to your dentist about the right sedation option for you.
What's the relationship between a dental crown and a dental implant?
Essentially, a dental implant replaces the root of a tooth. It's made of titanium, and it can support several types of tooth restorations. A crown replaces or repairs the tooth above the gumline. When placed on top of an implant, a dental crown replaces a single missing tooth from the root to the chewing surface.
