Dental Crowns
Time and other factors can damage our teeth, leaving them worn down and exposed to various dental issues.
In these cases, Drs. David and Reagan Bonner can use dental crowns to restore teeth that are decayed, broken, or misshapen.
Discover how dental crowns can save, protect, and whiten your smile under the care of Bonner Family Dentistry in Dumas, TX.
What Are Dental Crowns?
Dental crowns are a type of cap that fits snugly over the top of a tooth. Dental crowns offer protection for damaged teeth, restoring a tooth's shape and size while hiding any discoloration.
Unlike a filling, crowns cover the entire visible portion of your tooth and can treat more widespread decay or damage. Dentists may use crowns in a variety of procedures including root canals, dental bridges, and dental implants.
When to Consider Dental Crowns
Dental crowns have several uses and benefits for your oral health. Dentists use crowns to:
- Restore broken or decayed teeth
- Protect teeth from further damage
- Secure dental bridges in place
- Protect a tooth following a root canal
- Cover misshapen or discolored teeth
- Reinforce a tooth with worn-down restorations
- Cover dental implants to replace individual missing teeth
Crown Materials to Match Your Needs
We want to provide you with the best dental care and options available. This includes materials like porcelain that look like a natural part of your smile. The dental material can also impact the durability of the crown or even the nature of the procedure itself. Some of your choices include:
The best aesthetic match for your natural teeth, porcelain is also great for patients with metal allergies.
A glass-ceramic compound that's stronger than porcelain crowns and features a natural color and shine.
Another strong glass-ceramic compound that can match the appearance of your natural teeth.
A newer type of ceramic material that combines durability with a more natural look than metal crowns.
Picking the Right Material
Each material has different benefits to fit your situation. For example, porcelain crowns look great in the front row of teeth but may not be suited for the back row of teeth due to the pressure from chewing. Schedule an appointment with Drs. David and Reagan Bonner to find out which material best suits your dental needs.

The Bonner dentistry practice is hands down the best I’ve ever used. They are warm, helpful, professional and above all superb dentists. Their work is excellent and I love the fact that they make their own crowns in their office. No going back 3 times for repairs. Highly recommend.

Our dentists can create and place a dental crown in a single visit using CEREC®, a computer-aided machine that can craft dental restorations right in our office.
Without CEREC, patients will have to wear a temporary crown for a few weeks while a lab manufactures the permanent crown. Bonner Family Dentistry makes the procedure easier for you. CEREC lets you skip the wait and helps you return to daily life as soon as possible.
The Procedure: What to Expect
If CEREC isn't recommended for your unique case, a traditional crown can be crafted by a dental lab. We will provide a temporary crown to protect your prepped tooth until the permanent crown is ready. The turnaround time is typically a couple of weeks.
Recovery and Aftercare
Numbness from the anesthesia will usually last a few hours after the dental procedure, and your tooth may feel sensitive to hot or cold temperatures. We recommend brushing with a toothpaste made for sensitive teeth until it fades.
The crown may feel different to your mouth for the first couple of days but should feel comfortable afterward. Long-term care for the crown is easy and only requires regular brushing and flossing.
What to Do If There Is an Issue
If the crown does not feel comfortable after a few days or becomes loose, contact our dental office in Dumas, TX. Dr. David or Dr. Reagan will readjust the crown until it meets your satisfaction.
