At Cen-Tex Dental, we provide dental crowns in Killeen, Texas, to restore damaged or weakened teeth and help you regain a strong, healthy smile. Dr. Sean McAnarney and our team take pride in offering custom crowns that look and feel natural while protecting your teeth for years to come.

What Are Dental Crowns?

Dental crowns are custom-made “caps” that cover and protect damaged teeth. Crowns are designed to restore a tooth’s shape, size, strength and appearance. They are ideal for addressing:

  • Severely decayed teeth
  • Broken, chipped or worn-down teeth
  • Teeth that have undergone root canal treatment
  • Large fillings that compromise tooth structure
  • Cosmetic imperfections

The Dental Crown Process

  1. Preparation: The damaged tooth is carefully reshaped to ensure a secure fit for the crown.
  2. Impression: Impressions of your tooth are taken to create a custom crown that matches your natural smile.
  3. Temporary Crown: A temporary crown protects your tooth while the permanent crown is being crafted.
  4. Placement: During your second visit, the custom crown is securely bonded in place and adjusted for comfort.

Benefits of Dental Crowns

  • Protects and strengthens damaged teeth
  • Restores full function for chewing and speaking
