Dental Crowns in Dallas

A dental crown is a custom-made ‘cap’ that fits over a damaged tooth — restoring its strength, shape, and natural appearance. At DentUrgent in Dallas, we use crowns to:

Protect a tooth weakened by decay or a large filling
Repair a chipped, cracked, or worn-down tooth
Reshape or recolor a misshapen or discolored tooth
Top off a dental implant or anchor a bridge

Dental Crown Materials

We offer several crown materials, each with its own strengths. We’ll help you choose the best fit for your tooth, your bite, and your budget.

Base Metal Alloys — Extremely strong and corrosion-resistant. Gentle on opposing teeth and require the least tooth removal.

Gold Alloys — Bond strongly to the tooth and resist fractures. A great long-term option for back teeth.

Porcelain Fused to Metal (PFM) — Strong like metal, natural-looking like porcelain. Note: a thin metal line may show near the gum over time.

- Ceramic / Porcelain — The most lifelike choice, color-matched to your natural teeth. Ideal for front teeth, but less suited to heavy chewing.

The Procedure

Once we confirm your tooth and gums are healthy, getting a crown takes just two visits.

Visit 1: Preparing your tooth We numb the area, gently shape the tooth, and take a digital or physical impression. The impression goes to our dental lab, where your custom crown is built to match your natural teeth. You’ll leave with a temporary crown — usually for about two weeks — while we finish the permanent one.

Visit 2: Placing your crown We remove the temporary crown, check the new one for color, shape, and fit, and cement it permanently in place. A final bite check makes sure everything feels just right.

Aftercare / Closing

We’ll send you home with simple care instructions. With good brushing, flossing, and regular checkups, your dental crown can last 10–20 years — sometimes a lifetime.
