Porcelain Crowns In Lakeway, TX
Sometimes, a tooth is too damaged for a simple filling to restore. In such cases, Dr. Fawzy may recommend a porcelain crown. These strong, natural-looking restorations cover the entire tooth down to the gum line, providing both protection and an improved appearance. Unlike older metal crowns that were visibly noticeable, modern porcelain crowns are carefully crafted to match the shade of your natural teeth, blending in seamlessly. At our Lakeway, TX office, we proudly offer same-day porcelain crowns, giving you a convenient and effective solution for restoring your smile.
Restore Strength and Beauty with Porcelain Crowns
The Porcelain Crown Procedure
Important Information About Porcelain Crowns
Porcelain crowns may sound fragile, but they’re actually incredibly strong and durable. Unlike delicate china, dental-grade porcelain is designed to withstand daily use while blending seamlessly with your natural teeth. These crowns are custom-colored to match your smile, making them both functional and visually appealing.
Beyond their aesthetic benefits, porcelain crowns provide lasting protection. They form a secure seal over damaged teeth, helping to prevent further decay and reduce the risk of breakage. With proper care, they can last for many years.
If you’re looking to restore a damaged tooth, porcelain crowns offer both beauty and strength you can trust.

Dr. Fawzy will then remove any decay and thoroughly clean the tooth to prepare it for restoration. Once the crown is fabricated, he’ll carefully place it, ensuring a perfect fit and natural look. Minor adjustments may be made for optimal comfort and bite alignment. Finally, a finishing polish is applied, and you’ll receive care instructions to help maintain your crown for years to come.
