Getting a crown typically requires two appointments. At the first visit, Dr. Pybus prepares the tooth, takes impressions, and places a temporary crown. The permanent crown is bonded at the second visit, usually two to three weeks later.
Dental Crowns in Amarillo, TX
A dental crown is a custom-made cap that covers the entire visible portion of a damaged tooth, restoring its shape, strength, and appearance. At Pybus Dental in Amarillo, Texas, Dr. Charles Pybus uses durable, tooth-colored crown materials that blend naturally with your smile while providing long-lasting protection.
When You Need a Dental Crown
Crowns are recommended when a tooth is too damaged for a filling to repair, when a tooth is cracked or at risk of breaking, after root canal therapy to protect the treated tooth, to restore a dental implant, or to anchor a dental bridge.
The Crown Process
Getting a crown typically involves two appointments. At the first visit, Dr. Pybus prepares the tooth by reshaping it, takes a digital impression, and places a temporary crown. Your permanent crown is crafted at a dental laboratory from high-quality, tooth-colored materials. At the second visit, we remove the temporary crown, fit the permanent crown precisely, and cement it into place.
How Long Do Crowns Last
With proper care, a dental crown can last 10 to 15 years or longer. Regular dental checkups, good oral hygiene, and avoiding habits like ice chewing or teeth grinding help extend the life of your crown.
