What are Dental Crowns : Austin Family Dental

What are Dental Crowns : Austin Family DentalDental Crowns are artificial replacement teeth.  They are used to replace a missing tooth, cover and support a tooth, or reshape a tooth.  

The material being used depends on what is trying to be done with the dental crown, what look the patient is going for and if the individual has a metal allergy.  The dental crown can be made of ceramic, gold, porcelain fused to metal, and base metal alloys.

Dental Crowns are used for
  • Covering and supporting a tooth
  • ​Repair a Tooth that has broken or fractured
  • ​​Protect and strengthen a weak Tooth from breaking​​
  • A Tooth that has a fracture line
  • Tooth with a large Dental Filling 
  • ​​Root Canaled Tooth 
  • Reshape a Tooth    
  • Improve the appearance of a Tooth
  • Reduce a food trap which will improve Gum Health
  • ​Replace a Missing Tooth
  • Dental Implants
  • Attaching a Dental Bridge, this will replace a Missing Tooth or Teeth​

    My education consists of a Bachelor of Liberal Arts Degree in Business Administration & Art.  Since then I have taken classes in chemistry, organic chemistry, biology, physics, and microbiology to pursue a career as a dentist; I studied to apply for dental school but was unable to pursue it due to medical reasons.

    Currently, I am working as a dental receptionist and have been for over 8 years.
