Dental Crowns – Fort Worth, TX

Flawlessly Repairing
Fort Worth Smiles

Teeth are a lot stronger than you might think. In fact, tooth enamel is the hardest material in the human body – even more so than bone! That being said, your teeth are subjected to an onslaught of bacteria, acids from food and beverages, and pressure from other teeth on a daily basis. Over time, this wear and tear can result in tooth decay or breakage. Instead of extracting the tooth entirely, our dentists here at Renaissance Dental will preserve it whenever they can by placing a dental crown over it. Contact us today to learn more about how dental crowns in Fort Worth, TX can restore appearance and function to a broken or chipped tooth!

Why Choose Renaissance Dental for Dental Crowns?  

What Is a Dental Crown?

A dental crown is a cap that fits over the entire part of the tooth that has emerged from the gums, also known as the crown of a tooth. The most common reason why we might recommend a dental crown is to protect a weakened tooth from further damage; otherwise, the tooth might need to be removed later on. However, crowns can also be placed over teeth that are severely decayed, cracked, broken, or even cosmetically imperfect.

Traditionally, dental crowns have been made from metals like gold and silver. Although these restorations are durable, they stick out like a sore thumb compared to the rest of your pearly whites. That’s why we use tooth-colored materials like porcelain for our dental crowns. These solutions blend in with your grin while also being durable enough to last for years to come.  

The Process of Getting a Dental Crown

Dental crowns are a relatively quick treatment; in most cases, it only takes two appointments to design, fabricate, and place your crown (not counting your initial consultation). We begin by examining your smile, going over your treatment options, and determining whether a crown is the right solution for you. If so, then we can move forward with the dental crown process.

First, we reshape the tooth’s enamel to ensure that the crown will fit correctly. Next, we capture impressions of that area of your mouth, which we send to a trusted dental lab. While their team begins creating your crown, we can place a temporary crown over your tooth to protect it. Once your permanent crown arrives at our office, we call you back in for your second appointment. Lastly, we make sure your crown looks and feels natural before cementing it onto your tooth.

Understanding the Cost of Dental Crowns

While a dental crown may be the best way to restore a damaged tooth or resculpt a misshapen one, it’s understandable that you would like to understand how much the treatment will cost before committing to it. During your consultation at Renaissance Dental, our staff will provide you with a detailed price estimate that breaks down the associated costs and also help you navigate your insurance, financing, and payment options. Here’s a brief guide to the cost of dental crowns from our Fort Worth office.

Factors That Affect the Cost of Dental Crowns

The overall cost of your dental crown will largely be determined by several factors such as:

  • The severity of the damage: Larger and more costly crowns may be necessary to repair severely injured teeth.
  • Preliminary procedures: If you need to have tooth decay or gum disease resolved before you receive your crown, the preliminary treatments used to do this will be noted on your bill.
  • Material: Dental crowns can be crafted from a variety of materials like gold, amalgam, and porcelain, and each one is priced differently.
  • Method: There are a variety of ways to manufacture dental crowns, and they incur different costs.

A cheap dental crown is rarely a good dental crown, and the quality of the appliances fixed in your mouth is quite important for your oral health. An excellent dental crown should be able to restore the appearance and function of damaged tooth for many years.

Does Dental Insurance Cover Dental Crowns?

Since they are typically considered as major restorative treatments, dental insurance plans usually cover dental crowns by about 50% to 80%. However, your crown will probably not be covered if it is placed for cosmetic reasons, and it’s important to confirm what your particular plan will pay for before committing to any treatment. We’ll be happy to go over your policy with you during your consultation so you can get the most out of the benefits you pay for.

Options for Making Dental Crowns Affordable

You may still need a dental crown even if you are uninsured or underinsured, and we’re eager to help you find a way to make your restoration work within your budget. At Renaissance Dental, we offer our patients options like:

  • Our in-house dental plan: For a low annual fee, you can receive all your routine dental care as well as 30% off all other treatment fees.
  • Financing options: We partner with CareCredit to offer our patients flexible financing options that can break their bills into easy monthly installments with little to no interest.

We’ll be happy to help you understand your payment and financing options during your consultation at our office. To learn more about the costs associated with dental crowns, contact our office online.
