A Closer Look At Dental Crowns
Dental crowns are custom-designed restorations that cap and protect a tooth following structural damage or decay. They help preserve the remaining healthy tooth from harm and can prevent the need for future extractions. If you have already sustained tooth loss, a dental implant-supported crown will replace the tooth altogether with maximum stability.
Do Not Delay Dental Treatment!
Putting off dental treatment can have serious consequences for the health and appearance of your smile. Fortunately, Drs. Orchard and Villamil can restore your teeth with a dental crown in a fraction of the time required with traditional methods. Our state-of-the-art treatment is so convenient, there is simply no reason to delay.

I have had extensive dental work done by Dr. Orchard. He is a true artist. The staff is amazing and smart and accommodating to your needs. I have never met a staff and Doctor that is this amazing and truly care about their patients. I moved to Colorado and still fly down to Corpus to have any dental work and yearly check ups done.

Same-Day Crowns With CEREC
Our Corpus Christi office is equipped with the CEREC® system allowing patients to receive a permanent crown in one office visit. CEREC® is an incredible tool in modern dentistry that uses CAD/CAM (computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing) technology to create ultra-precise restorations.
Our in-house CEREC milling machine can fabricate a crown from a solid block of porcelain ceramic in under an hour, allowing you to leave your appointment with a permanent restoration. CEREC treatment is not only more convenient than the traditional alternative but can better protect your tooth structure by doing away with flimsy temporary crowns.
Check Out Our Results!
The use of prosthetic teeth can be seen throughout history from shell teeth in Ancient Egypt to gold bridges in ancient Rome. Needless to say, restorative dentistry has come a long way since then. Modern restorations like our porcelain ceramic and zirconia crowns are not only incredibly durable, but are also virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth.
How do I know if I need a dental crown?
Crowns Treat Several Problems
- Chips and Cracks
- Weakened Structure
- Cosmetic Imperfections
- Tooth Decay
- Infection
- Tooth Loss
While some patients notice obvious symptoms of a dental condition, others may be completely unaware a problem exists. It is important to attend regular checkups so we can diagnose and treat a compromised tooth early on. Our dentists will provide thorough preventative care and if needed, schedule you an appointment for a dental crown in a timely fashion.

What if I am missing a tooth?
Consider an Implant-Supported Crown
The dentists at our Corpus Christi practice have undergone additional training to offer dental implants. Implants are surgically placed in the gums and support a custom-designed restoration. Unlike traditional bridges, implant-supported crowns do not require alternations to your adjacent teeth and will stay in place with maximum stability. By replacing your tooth root, dental implants will even promote better longterm oral health, preserving your jaw tissue and preventing further tooth loss. Ask Drs. Orchard and Villamil if implants can work for you at your next visit to our Corpus Christi office.
Caring for Your Dental Crown
We offer a ten-year guarantee on all our restorative treatments. Crowns, bridges, and other restorations are not expected to last forever, but with the proper care, you can count on them to provide you with many years of confident, healthy smiles. Maintaining your dental crown is easy and intuitive. We reccomend you follow just a few simple instructions:
Avoid Excess Force
It is important to avoid chewing overly sticky or hard foods with your restoration. Just like a normal tooth, your crown can wear down or become cracked when under extreme pressure.
Practice Good Oral Hygiene
It is very important to brush and floss regularly especially if you have a traditional crown or bridge that is dependent upon adjacent teeth for support. We encourage you to alter your flossing technique from up and down, to front and back to prevent dislodging the restoration.
See The Dentist
Patients should make appointments to see the dentist on a biannual basis for a routine exam and cleaning. Our Corpus Christi office makes it easy to schedule your check-ups. Just send us a quick message online and we will get back to you.
