Dental Crowns in Fort Gibson, OK
Restore Strength, Function, and Beauty to Damaged Teeth
If you have a tooth that’s cracked, decayed, or worn down, a dental crown may be the best way to protect it and bring your smile back to full function. At Fort Gibson Family Dentistry, we create strong, natural-looking crowns designed to blend beautifully with your existing teeth.
What Is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown is a custom-made “cap” that covers the entire visible surface of a damaged tooth. It restores strength, protects the tooth from further damage, and improves appearance — all in one treatment.
We use crowns to:
- Repair cracked, chipped, or fractured teeth
- Restore teeth after large fillings or decay
- Cover a tooth following root canal therapy
- Replace missing teeth with a dental implant crown
- Enhance the appearance of misshapen or severely discolored teeth
With advanced materials and precise fit, our crowns not only look great — they last.
Porcelain Crowns: Beauty Meets Strength
Porcelain crowns are a top choice for visible teeth because they mimic the color, clarity, and texture of natural enamel. They’re ideal for restoring front teeth or anywhere appearance matters most.
Advantages of porcelain crowns:
- Custom-shaded to match your smile
- Metal-free for a natural, translucent look
- Biocompatible and stain-resistant
- Durable and long-lasting with proper care
We’ll shape the crown to match your bite and blend seamlessly with surrounding teeth — so no one will know it’s there.
Ceramic Crowns: All-Around Durability With Aesthetic Appeal
Ceramic crowns are known for their strength and versatility. They're a great option for both front and back teeth, offering durability without compromising on appearance.
Ceramic crowns offer:
- Exceptional strength for molars and bite pressure
- Aesthetic appearance similar to porcelain
- Long-term protection for structurally compromised teeth
- Compatibility with patients sensitive to metal
During your consultation, we’ll explain whether ceramic or porcelain is better suited to your needs and goals.
