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!
