If a tooth becomes structurally damaged, chipped, or cracked it’s susceptible to further damage. A dental crown is a cap placed on a broken tooth to help protect it and keep your tooth’s shape and structure intact.

We offer CEREC crowns using same-day crown technology. These crowns are made of porcelain. Each crown is unique to the tooth it will cover and we make them match the rest of your teeth. Dental crowns from Thomas Nabors DDS are a great way to keep your teeth healthy and strong.

Dental crowns offer a number of different benefits:

• Protection – To cover a damaged tooth, a dental crown can protect the tooth from more damage.
• Beautiful Smile – If you have one or more teeth that aren’t uniform in shape or color, a dental crown can cover these irregularities, making your smile look uniform and natural.
• Zero Gaps – Dental bridges and dental implants can be used to fill holes left by missing teeth. Crowns are used in both procedures.
• No Lifestyle Changes – A dental crown looks, feels, and functions like a regular tooth. You can smile, laugh, eat and chew like you would with a normal tooth
• Easy Maintenance – A tooth crown doesn’t require any special care. Just brush and floss and visit your dentist for regular checkups.
• Long-Lasting Results – Unlike a regular cavity filling, a dental crown is designed to last you years—possibly the rest of your life! We can replace your old fillings with crowns!

A crown is usually used to cover a broken or damaged tooth, but a dental bridge can replace missing teeth entirely! A dental bridge is an alternative to partial dentures. Our dental bridges close or “bridge” the gap between a section of missing teeth.

The bridge consists of two tooth crowns on each end with false teeth in the middle. Because of advancements in modern dentistry, the bridge is designed to look like your original teeth. Fill your gaps with a dental bridge that will help you bite, chew, and smile better.

A dental bridge is used to bridge the gap left in your smile by a missing tooth or missing teeth. It is a device something like a retainer and has wires that connect it to a dental crown. If you have a gap in your smile, getting a dental bridge has many advantages.

• A dental bridge can keep the rest of your teeth in their proper place so they won’t shift. This can protect your bite and keep your smile uniform and functioning properly.
• A dental bridge can keep your mouth looking full and your facial structure symmetrical.
• A dental bridge functions just like your natural teeth, so you can eat and chew just like you naturally would.
• A dental bridge looks just like your natural teeth, so you can laugh and smile like natural.
