Restore Your Back Teeth with Posterior Crowns in Pasadena, TX
When a back tooth (molar or premolar) is badly damaged or decayed, a simple filling isn’t always enough to restore its strength and function. That’s where a posterior dental crown comes in.
In the above educational video, Dr. Michael Nugent of Pasadena, TX, explains how posterior crowns are used to protect and rebuild back teeth that have been weakened by cavities, fractures, or root canal treatment. The crown covers the entire tooth surface, providing long-term durability and support for chewing.
Posterior crowns are typically made from materials like porcelain fused to metal or zirconia, which can withstand the heavy biting forces of molars—while still looking natural.
Benefits of a posterior crown include:
Protecting the tooth from further damage
Restoring proper shape and bite alignment
Long-lasting durability
Improved appearance and function
