Crowns

Restore Strength, Function & Beauty to Your Smile

A damaged or weakened tooth doesn’t have to stay that way. At Cox Family Dentistry, we offer high-quality dental crowns in Sikeston, MO to restore your tooth’s strength, shape, and appearance – all while preserving as much of your natural tooth as possible.

Whether you’ve chipped a tooth, had a large cavity, or recently completed a root canal, a dental crown may be the ideal solution to protect and rebuild your smile. Dr. Sam Cox uses advanced techniques and materials to ensure that every crown we place is strong, comfortable, and looks completely natural.

What Is a Dental Crown?

A dental crown – sometimes called a “cap” – is a custom-made covering that fits over a damaged, decayed, or weakened tooth. It restores the tooth’s structure and function while blending in seamlessly with your natural teeth.

Crowns can be made from a variety of materials, including:

  • Tooth-colored porcelain or ceramic (for a natural look)
  • Zirconia (for extra strength and durability)
  • Metal alloys or gold (typically used for back teeth due to their longevity)


At Cox Family Dentistry, we focus on aesthetic, durable materials that allow you to chew, speak, and smile with confidence.

When Is a Crown Needed?

Dental crowns are a versatile treatment option that can be used in several situations, including:

  • A tooth with a large filling that needs support
  • Cracked, broken, or severely worn-down teeth
  • Teeth with advanced decay that can’t be restored with a filling
  • Following root canal therapy (to protect the tooth structure)
  • Covering a dental implant
  • Improving the appearance of misshapen or discolored teeth


During your visit, Dr. Cox will examine your tooth and explain your options clearly so you can make the best decision for your health and smile.

The Dental Crown Process

Getting a dental crown typically takes two appointments:

1. Preparation Appointment

  • Dr. Cox will numb the area and gently shape the tooth to make room for the crown.
  • We take precise digital or physical impressions of your teeth.
  • You’ll receive a temporary crown to protect your tooth while your custom crown is being made.

2. Placement Appointment

  • Once your permanent crown is ready, we’ll remove the temporary one.
  • Dr. Cox will check the fit, bite, and color to ensure everything looks and feels just right.
  • The crown is then securely bonded into place for a strong, lasting hold.

 

The result is a tooth that functions like new – and looks just as good.

Caring for Your Dental Crown

Dental crowns are designed to last many years with proper care. To protect your crown and surrounding teeth:

  • Brush and floss daily, paying close attention to the gumline
  • Avoid chewing on ice, hard candy, or using your teeth as tools
  • Wear a night guard if you clench or grind your teeth
  • Visit Cox Family Dentistry for regular checkups and cleanings


Dr. Cox will monitor your crown at every visit and make sure it stays in excellent condition.
