What Exactly Is a Dental Crown?
A crown is a little shell that sits on top of your natural tooth, which gives your natural tooth a new shape and new look. And it also makes it stronger. It protects what’s underneath, but on the outside, your teeth will be smooth, bright, and natural, like they always belonged there.
Why Are People Choose Dental Crowns in Houston, TX?
“I’m tired of worrying about this tooth.” This is what most of our patients say to us when we first meet.
They don’t want to hide in photos anymore, they don’t want to chew on one side anymore, and they are just tired of feeling like everyone notices that one tooth… even if they never say it.
Crowns can solve all that because they give you:
- A tooth that looks real
It’s not too bright, not too dull, it just makes your smile better - It is very strong
You don’t have to worry anymore about it cracking or breaking - No more sensitivity
You can finally enjoy your cold drinks and hot meals without getting that tingling sensation - Peace of mind
You can finally rest comfortably, knowing you made the right choice and you made the right decisions
How The Process Works
The process is very simple, you’ll just come in for just 2 visits, then leave with your dream smile.
Visit 1:
- We’ll check the tooth, shape it, and take a quick 3D digital scan
- You’ll leave with a temporary crown that already looks decent
Visit 1:
- Now that your custom crown arrives, which is custom-made to your smile (it’s not a one-size-fits-all piece)
- We’ll now bond it in and adjust it as well so it fits perfectly and feels natural. As well as polish it. One of the popular phrases we hear after our patients look in the mirror is “Wow, doc, why didn’t I do this sooner?” We hope you’ll also feel that happy.
What Your Crown Can Be Made Of
There are different types of crown material that we use on our patients, because we know that our Houston patients love having options. But you don’t have to worry about what to choose, we’ll help you do that.
But the popular choices are:
- Porcelain: These have a natural shine and easily blend in with your other teeth
- Zirconia: These are super strong and have a “clean” look to them
- Porcelain fused-to-metal: Again, super strong and are also budget-friendly
When you want to decide which option is best for you, please keep in mind that the point is not to pick the fanciest option, but it is to choose what will suit your tooth and what result it will give you.
What You’ll Notice After Getting Your Crown
Most people say the same thing, like “it feels like the tooth I wish I had.”
But what you’ll definitely notice is:
- A cleaner and even smile
- A tooth that finally matches the other
- Better chewing
- Less to no sensitivity
- A big increase in your confidence
- You’ll feel free when you talk and laugh
This is just a small upgrade, but the changes it makes to your life are incredible. You’ll notice that every single day you wake up.

FAQs About Dental Crowns
Cosmetic crowns can last many years. Most people keep theirs for 10–15 years, sometimes even longer. The better you brush, floss, and take care of your teeth, the longer your crown can stay strong. It acts like a real tooth, so treat it like one, and it’ll stay with you for a long time.
Yes, they do. A dental crown is made to match your other teeth, so it blends in nicely. The color, the shape, and the shine are all chosen to look natural. Most people can’t even tell which tooth has a crown unless you point it out.
Not really. Your tooth gets numbed, so you shouldn’t feel pain during the visit. You might feel a little pressure, but nothing sharp. After the appointment, the tooth can feel a bit sore, but it usually goes away fast. Most people feel a lot better once their crown is in place.
