Core & Crown Dentistry in Port Lavaca, TX

A cracked or severely decayed tooth doesn’t have to mean losing it. At Abka Dental, our core and crown treatments are designed to restore strength, beauty, and function, giving you back your confidence to eat, speak, and smile naturally again.

 

What Is Core & Crown Dentistry?

When a tooth is too damaged for a filling but not beyond saving, a core build-up and dental crown can preserve it beautifully.

A core build-up rebuilds the internal structure of the tooth, creating a strong base. Then, a crown, a custom-designed cap, is placed over it to restore shape, color, and durability. Together, they reinforce and protect your natural tooth, preventing further damage while maintaining your natural bite and smile.

At Abka Dental, we use high-quality materials and advanced imaging to ensure every crown fits comfortably and looks completely natural.

Why Choose a Crown Instead of Extraction?

Saving your natural tooth is almost always the best option for your long-term oral health. A stable tooth root helps maintain bone structure, prevents surrounding teeth from shifting, and preserves your natural bite alignment.

A crown acts as a protective shield, stopping cracks from spreading, relieving pain, and preventing future infection. Extraction, by contrast, can lead to gaps, bone loss, and the need for more complex (and costly) treatments later on.

At Abka Dental, we focus on minimally invasive solutions that protect your natural teeth whenever possible.

Did You Know?

Crowns can last 10–15 years or more with proper care, and modern materials make them virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth.
