What is a Dental Crown?

Dental crowns, also known as tooth or dental caps, are custom-made restorations that cover the entire surface of a damaged or decayed tooth. Effectively, they form a “cap” over the existing tooth structure in order to restore both its appearance and function. Dental crowns are used to repair teeth that have been weakened by decay, have cracked or chipped, or have discolored. Crowns can also be used to improve the appearance of misshapen teeth and cover dental implants. We use state-of-the-art materials to ensure the highest quality results for our patients.

When Dental Crowns are the Right Choice for You

At Lake Olympia Dental, we can use a dental crown to protect and strengthen teeth as well as restore them to their original shape and size. A tooth cap is used for both restorative and cosmetic purposes. Here are some of the most common scenarios when a dental crown could be the right choice for you:

  • When a large filling or cavity has weakened your tooth structure
  • To protect and strengthen teeth that are cracked, chipped or broken
  • After root canal therapy to restore the tooth to its original shape and size
  • To fasten dental bridges in place
  • As part of an implant restoration
  • To cover a discolored or misshapen tooth for cosmetic purposes

The Dental Crown Procedure

During the first visit, our team will take x-rays and evaluate your teeth to ensure a dental crown is the right treatment for your needs. We will then prepare your tooth by removing any decay and shaping it to make room for the crown. An impression is taken of your teeth so that a custom-made dental crown can be created in a lab.

Once we have received the finished product from the lab, you’ll come back to our office for the second visit. During this visit, our team will check the size and fit of your new dental crown, adjust it as needed, and then finalize its placement. With regular visits to Lake Olympia Dental for checkups and cleanings, we can monitor your crown’s condition and make sure it stays in good shape for years to come.

patients have to say

 "My kids and I have been patients of Dr. Dinh at Lake Olympia Dentist, and we couldn't be happier with the care we receive. Dr. Dinh and the entire staff are always professional, friendly, and welcoming from the moment we walk in the door.

They do an excellent job making my children feel comfortable and at ease during their appointments, which is something every parent appreciates. Dr. Dinh takes the time to explain everything clearly, answers questions thoroughly, and genuinely cares about his patients' dental health."

"I recently visited Dr Dihn’s dental office as a new patient and was very pleased with my experience. His staff was welcoming and professional throughout my visit. His hygienist, Allie, took the time to explain procedures related to my cleaning clearly to me, which made me feel comfortable throughout the appointment. The office was clean, organized, and efficient. I left feeling confident that I’ve placed my dental care in the right hands. All in all, great visit and I would definitely recommend this practice to anyone looking for a dentist."

" I came here to get a second opinion from a not so comfortable experience prior. Miaa, Dr Dinh, and Shannon were the sweetest and I 100% recommend coming here. My dental anxiety was easier to manage around them. Dr. Dinh is super comfortable to be around we even shared the same favorite cartoon. He recommended a game plan on my back bottom molar that is gonna end up needing a root canal or extraction. Nervous for the journey, but it’ll be ok!"
Rikki HER Harris
I decided to visit Lake Olympia Dental because the office is closew to home and I saw all the positive reviews, and I can see why! It was a seamless experience for being a new patient. Dr. Dinh and his staff were very personable, making sure you're at easy and having an enjoyable experience. They know their stuff and know how to make your visit smooth and efficient. The office is brand new, very clean and modern. My first time seeing a TV on the ceiling for patients to watch as you're getting your teeth cleaned. They also give you a warm face towel at the end to help freshen up. I sometimes forgot I was at the dentist.

I scheduled an emergency appointment today due to severe tooth pain and was able to be seen the same day. The office staff were very friendly and efficient, and the facility was new and clean. I appreciated how quick, yet thorough, my visit was. Most of all, I'm grateful for their late office hours, which made it possible for me to come in during the evening.

Dental Crown FAQs

Name Surname
Position, Company name

How do I know if I need a crown or a filling?

A filling works when only a small part of the tooth is damaged. If a crack runs deep, a large filling is failing, or you've had a root canal, a crown protects what's left of the tooth and keeps it from breaking.

Name Surname
Position, Company name

What are your crowns made of?

Most of our crowns are zirconia, a tooth-colored material that holds up well to chewing. We also offer e.max, a glass ceramic often used on front teeth, and gold. Dr. Dinh will recommend the best fit for the tooth and your bite.

Name Surname
Position, Company name

How long do dental crowns last?

With good brushing, flossing and regular checkups, crowns usually last 10 to 15 years, and many last longer. Grinding your teeth or chewing ice can shorten that, so we may suggest a night guard.

Does insurance cover dental crowns?

Most dental plans cover part of a crown when it's needed to protect the tooth. We're in network with many plans, including Delta Dental, Cigna, MetLife, Guardian, UHC and BCBS of Texas, and we also file out-of-network claims. Without insurance, our membership plan gives you 15% off.

Dental Crowns in Missouri City, TX

If you have a cracked, worn or heavily filled tooth, a crown protects it and brings back its shape and strength. Dr. Dinh mainly uses zirconia, which is strong and natural-looking, and also offers e.max and gold crowns. Your crown is custom-made by a dental lab over two visits: one to prepare the tooth and fit a temporary, and one to place your final crown. We see patients from Missouri City, Sienna, Fresno and Stafford at our Lake Olympia Pkwy office, and we file your PPO or out-of-network claims for you. Call (281) 848-8822 to schedule.
