Dental Crown for a Tooth Restoration

A dental crown in Albuquerque, NM, is one of the most effective ways to restore the strength, function, and appearance of a damaged or weakened tooth. Whether caused by decay, injury, or wear, a crown acts as a protective “cap” that completely covers the visible portion of your tooth, helping it look and feel natural again. At Osuna Dental Care, we offer a variety of high-quality crown materials to meet your unique needs, including ceramic, porcelain-fused-to-metal, and gold crowns.

Our experienced dental team will carefully evaluate your tooth’s condition and recommend the ideal crown type based on its location and your overall oral health. With proper care and regular dental visits, your new crown can last for many years—protecting your smile and restoring confidence.

The Dental Crown Procedure

A dental crown procedure typically takes two visits to complete.

During your first visit, the dentist prepares the tooth by removing any decay and shaping it so the crown can fit securely. Impressions are then taken and sent to our dental lab, where your custom-made crown is crafted to perfectly match your bite and the color of your surrounding teeth. Before you leave, a temporary crown is placed to protect the prepared tooth.

After about two weeks, you’ll return for your second visit. The temporary crown is removed, and your new permanent crown is precisely fitted, adjusted, and bonded into place. The result is a restored tooth that looks, feels, and functions just like a natural one.

Benefits of Dental Crowns

Dental crowns offer both cosmetic and restorative advantages, making them one of the most versatile solutions in modern dentistry.

• Restores Strength and Function – Crowns reinforce teeth weakened by decay, large fillings, or fractures, allowing you to chew comfortably again.

• Enhances Appearance – They cover imperfections such as chips, cracks, discoloration, or misshapen teeth for a naturally beautiful smile.

• Prevents Further Damage – By sealing and protecting the tooth, crowns help prevent additional wear or decay.

• Supports Dental Bridges – Crowns can serve as anchors for dental bridges, filling gaps caused by missing teeth.

• Long-Lasting Protection – With good oral hygiene and routine checkups, dental crowns can last a decade or longer.

At Osuna Dental Care, our goal is to ensure your dental crown blends seamlessly with your smile while offering lasting durability and comfort.
