Dental Crowns in Pearland, TX

A dental crown is a custom-made cap designed to cover a damaged tooth, restoring its strength, shape, and appearance. Whether due to cracking, decay, or significant wear, crowns provide a protective cover that can last for many years with appropriate care. They can be constructed from various materials, including metal, ceramic, and porcelain.

You might be a suitable candidate for a dental crown if you have:

• A cracked or chipped tooth
• A severely worn-down tooth
• A tooth with a large filling and minimal remaining structure
• A tooth that has undergone a root canal

Pressed ceramic crowns are crafted from solid ceramic materials, delivering a natural-looking restoration with remarkable strength. They are ideal for those prioritizing aesthetics, particularly for visible teeth, as they closely mimic the look of natural teeth while being highly resistant to wear.

All ceramic or porcelain crowns are entirely made from ceramic material, offering the best match for natural tooth color. These crowns are especially suitable for front teeth where appearance matters most. Additionally, they are biocompatible, making them an excellent option for patients with metal sensitivities or allergies. Thus, they provide both beauty and functionality.

All-resin crowns represent an economical choice for dental restorations. Although they are more affordable, they may not be as durable as other crown types and are often used as temporary solutions or for front teeth that don’t endure heavy chewing forces. While they provide an acceptable aesthetic result, they typically have a shorter lifespan compared to ceramic or metal alternatives.

Thanks to our advanced CEREC technology, we offer same-day dental crowns, allowing you to leave our office with a fully restored tooth in just one visit. Crafted from a solid block of ceramic using a specialized milling machine, these crowns are both durable and aesthetically pleasing, providing a convenient solution for restoring damaged teeth without sacrificing quality.

• Restoration of Tooth Function: Dental crowns play a crucial role in restoring the function of damaged teeth, allowing you to chew, bite, and speak with confidence. Whether you’ve experienced decay, trauma, or wear, crowns provide the support needed to perform everyday tasks effectively.
• Aesthetic Appeal: One of the most significant advancements in dental crowns is their ability to replicate the natural look of your teeth. Modern crowns are crafted to closely match the color, shape, and translucency of your existing teeth, ensuring a seamless blend that enhances your smile’s overall appearance.
• Long-Lasting Durability: When properly cared for, dental crowns can last for many years—often decades—making them a wise investment in your oral health. Regular dental check-ups and good oral hygiene can extend the lifespan of your crowns.
• Protective Barrier: In addition to restoring function, crowns act as protective shields for weakened teeth. They help prevent further damage from occurring, preserving the underlying tooth structure.
• Boosted Confidence: A beautifully designed crown not only restores function but also revitalizes your smile. By improving the appearance of your teeth, crowns can significantly enhance your self-esteem, allowing you to smile with assurance and pride.

We’ll take an impression of the prepared tooth and surrounding teeth for a precise fit. A temporary crown will be placed to protect the tooth while your permanent crown is crafted.

During your follow-up visit, the temporary crown will be removed, and we will check the fit, color, and appearance of your permanent crown. After any necessary adjustments, the crown will be securely cemented in place, restoring both function and aesthetics.

For those choosing same-day crowns, the entire process—from preparation to crown placement—can be completed in one visit using our advanced in-office milling technology.
