Strengthen a damaged or weakened tooth with a custom dental crown from Dr. Rick Miller and the Bent Tree Dental team.
Dental crowns are custom restorations that cover the visible portion of a tooth to restore its shape, strength, and function. A crown may be recommended when decay, a large filling, a fracture, heavy wear, or root canal treatment has weakened a tooth.
A Dallas dental crown dentist will evaluate the condition of the tooth, your bite, and the location of the damage before recommending treatment. Crowns protect the remaining tooth structure while helping the restored tooth look and feel natural.
What Are Dental Crowns?

The Importance of Dental Crowns
A weakened tooth can continue to crack, wear down, or become more difficult to repair if treatment is delayed. Dental crowns provide added protection by covering the tooth and helping distribute biting pressure more evenly.
Crowns can also restore everyday function. By rebuilding the size and shape of a damaged tooth, treatment may make it easier to chew comfortably, speak clearly, and maintain proper alignment with the surrounding teeth.
What to Expect During Dental Crown Treatment
Your treatment may include:
- A dental examination: We evaluate the tooth, surrounding gums, and bite to determine whether a crown is the right option.
- Digital X-rays: We may use imaging to assess the tooth roots and identify decay, infection, or other concerns below the surface.
- Local anesthesia: The treatment area is numbed to help keep you comfortable while the tooth is prepared.
- Tooth preparation: Damaged or decayed material is removed, and the tooth is carefully reshaped to create space for the crown.
- Impressions or digital scans: Detailed measurements are taken so the crown fits your tooth and bite.
- Temporary protection: If a dental laboratory creates the final crown, we may place a temporary crown to protect the tooth between visits.
- Final crown placement: The custom crown is checked for fit, color, and bite before being securely bonded into place.
- Aftercare instructions: We will explain how to care for the crown and what to expect as the tooth adjusts after treatment.
If the tooth has an infected or damaged pulp, root canal treatment may be necessary before placing the crown. Dr. Miller will explain whether this additional step is needed based on your examination and X-rays.
