Dr. Carmona custom-makes your crowns in a dental laboratory.
Getting a dental crown in Austin, TX will take a few appointments. You should account for at least 2 visits.
Before Dr. Carmona can place your new dental crown, he meticulously prepares the tooth by gently reshaping some of its enamel. This essential step removes any decay (if present) and creates the precise space needed for the crown to fit snugly alongside your existing teeth, ensuring a seamless and complete restoration. Once your tooth is prepared, you’ll receive a temporary crown to wear while your custom crown is being crafted in the lab. Upon its arrival from the lab, Dr. Carmona will carefully cement the permanent crown to your tooth. While you might experience some minor discomfort after the temporary crown is placed, the overall procedure for getting a dental crown is typically painless.
How your dental crown is made depends on the type of crown you are getting. At Austin Prosthodontics, we take impressions and have your crowns custom-made for you in a lab. We use only the highest-quality materials and craftsmanship to give you the best possible crown.

Had my initial consult today. Dr. Carmona and staff were very accommodating and informative. Dr. Carmona presented all my options and was very helpful in answering my questions. I'm going forward with my treatment plan and looking forward to continuing excellent service.

Sandra
I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Carmona and his office. Having seen many dentists for my complex treatment, he was the only one who gave me a comprehensive plan with great results. I had 25 year old bridgework replaced with a combination of new bridges and dental implants. I also needed bone grafting in order for implants to work and he was able to partner with an oral surgeon for this. He answered my barrage of questions thoroughly and with great care. I cannot say enough about my experience and have a wonderful smile as proof. As a bonus he and the surgeon were both in-network, saving me thousands of dollars out of pocket. Do not hesitate coming here!
