Precision Restorations for a Radiant Smile
Your teeth work hard for you every day and occasionally become damaged due to normal wear and tear, trauma, or decay. Despite your best efforts, sometimes repairs are necessary to maintain your teeth and your smile.
At Nederland Family Dental, we create restorations like dental crowns and bridges, working with a dental lab that utilizes computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology to provide you with the most accurate restorations available today.

Have you ever bitten into an olive pit or some other hard, unexpected object? It hurts, and it can break your tooth. Our jaws are strong and can exert enormous amounts of force. When you bite down on something unexpected, you could crack a tooth.
Once damage like cracks occurs, your tooth is not as strong and cannot withstand the pressure from chewing. A dental crown protects your tooth by fitting directly over the top of it and absorbing some of that force from your jaws.
Labs manufacture dental crowns out of metal, porcelain, ceramic, or a combination of metal and porcelain. The type of crown that works best for you depends upon where your affected tooth is located and on the condition of your bite. We want your dentistry to last a long time and be completely comfortable, so once Dr. Gomez evaluates your condition, he can recommend the appropriate treatment.
Before we can place a dental crown over your damaged tooth, we have to prep your tooth, making room for the crown. Next, we will place a temporary crown for you while our expert lab technicians create your permanent crown.
When we receive your permanent crown from the lab, we will schedule a time to seat it and make any final adjustments to your bite so that your crown is completely comfortable.
