    What Are Dental Crowns

    Dental crowns (commonly known as tooth caps) are artificial coverings placed over teeth to restore their shape, strength, and overall appearance. They are ideal for repairing teeth that are too damaged, worn-out, or decayed to be repaired with a dental filling. They can also address cosmetic issues, making your smile appear more even and radiant.

    At our Houston practice, we provide different types of dental crowns, including porcelain, zirconia, and metal, depending on your requirements. Each restoration is custom-designed to match the natural look and functions of your teeth for long-lasting results.

    Benefits of Dental Crowns

    Dental crowns offer a versatile solution for many oral health issues, as they can:

    • Protect damaged teeth from further decay or damage
    • Reinforce weakened teeth and restore structural integrity
    • Improve your ability to bite and chew with ease
    • Fix chips, discoloration, and minor gaps for a more attractive smile
    • Help maintain the natural tooth structure and prevent the need for extraction
    • Ensure your bite stays properly aligned, reducing strain on nearby teeth

    The Dental Crown Treatment Process at Our Clinic in Houston, TX

    The treatment procedure generally takes two visits. First, we will examine the affected tooth, often using digital X-ray technology to assess the extent of the damage. To prepare your tooth for the crown, we will gently reshape it by removing some part of the enamel. After this step, our team will record impressions to create a perfectly fitting restoration.

    The crown fabrication process may take a few weeks, so we will provide a temporary covering to protect the prepared tooth. Once your custom crown is ready, we will securely bond it to the enamel. You will soon be ready to show off your fuller smile!

    what our patients say

    I visit this clinic rather often, and the staff is always very nice and compassionate. Dr. Hickerson is a truly kind and honest person. Having interacted with various dentists, I've often noticed that their advice seems driven by business interests rather than a genuine intention to save your teeth. I'm lucky that doctors like Dr. Hickerson are around.

    Dr. Patel is just incredible! My kids and I loved her. She is thorough and explains everything really well. Super gentle, procedure did not hurt at all. She was able to help me avoid much more extensive dental work. I can honestly say we enjoyed going to the dentist!

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Why would I need a dental crown?

    A crown is recommended when a tooth is too damaged or compromised and needs additional support.

    Does it hurt to get a crown?

    Not at all. We use local anesthesia to numb the area before treatment, so you won’t feel any pain during the procedure.

    How do I care for my dental crown?

    You can maintain your crown by brushing twice a day, flossing daily, and paying special attention to the area around the crown margins. Avoid biting down on hard foods to prevent damaging the material.
