A dental crown is a custom “cap” that covers the whole visible part of a tooth. We recommend crowns when a tooth is cracked, severely worn, root‑canal treated, or has a large cavity that a filling can’t reliably support. The crown restores strength, shape, and appearance—so you can bite and smile without worry. If you’ve wondered “what is a dental crown,” think of it as durable armor that looks like a real tooth.
Common reasons Balch Springs patients need dental crowns:
• Large fracture or break from an injury or hard bite.
• Deep decay where a regular filling would be too big.
• Root canal therapy that weakened the remaining tooth.
• Cosmetic concerns, like a misshapen or discolored tooth.
• Support for a dental bridge on adjacent teeth.
Step 1: Exam and prep. We examine and take digital X‑rays, then gently shape the tooth so the crown fits securely.
Step 2: Scan and shade match. We take a precise scan or impression and choose a shade that matches nearby teeth.
Step 3: Temporary crown. You’ll leave with a comfortable temporary crown while the lab crafts your custom crown.
Step 4: Final placement. We try in the new crown, confirm the bite, make any fine adjustments, and bond it permanently.
Modern materials allow crowns to blend seamlessly with your smile. Many Balch Springs patients choose tooth‑colored ceramic or porcelain fused to metal for strength and aesthetics.
• All‑ceramic/porcelain: Excellent esthetics for front teeth.
• Zirconia: Very strong, tooth‑colored option for back teeth.
• Porcelain‑fused‑to‑metal: Time‑tested balance of strength and appearance.
• Full metal (gold alloy): Ultra‑durable for heavy chewing or clenching.
We’ll help you choose the right crown based on location, bite forces, esthetic goals, and budget.
Patients often ask, “how much is a dental crown” or “dental crown cost.” Pricing varies with material, tooth location, and whether additional care (like a core build‑up) is needed. Typical ranges:
• Tooth‑colored crowns: $900–$1,500
• Zirconia crowns: $1,000–$1,600
• Porcelain‑fused‑to‑metal: $900–$1,400
We accept Texas Medicaid where applicable, most PPO plans, and offer flexible payment options. Our insurance team will verify your benefits and provide a clear estimate before treatment.
A crown is a custom cap that covers and protects a damaged tooth. It restores strength and appearance when a filling isn’t enough.
With good care, 10–15 years or more. Great hygiene, routine checkups, and avoiding very hard foods help extend lifespan.
