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.

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.

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
Dental Crown FAQ
Will It Hurt?
No! We will use a local anesthetic, injected into your gums, for a virtually pain-free dental crown placement.
Do You Have Additional Sedation Options?
We know that you've likely been dealing with a lot of discomfort lately. So, we want to make your visit as pleasant as possible.
At Imagecare Dental Group in Plano, TX, we offer oral conscious sedation, nitrous oxide, and IV sedation. Talk to your dentist about the right option for you.
What's the Relationship Between a Dental Crown and a Dental Implant?
You've likely heard the words "dental crown" and "dental implant" thrown around a lot. If you're not sure how they relate, we'll explain.
Dental crowns and dental implants pair well, but they're not the same thing.
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 placed on top of an implant replaces a lost tooth from the root to the chewing surface.

Types of Dental Crowns

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.
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 will place about 2.3 million implant-supported crowns throughout the 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.
