Dental Crowns in Austin, TX

A cracked or heavily filled tooth can make every bite uncomfortable. Dental crowns cover the visible part of a weakened tooth, restoring its shape and helping it handle chewing pressure. We remove damaged areas and shape the tooth so the crown fits comfortably and naturally.

Ceramic crowns can be matched to nearby teeth in shade and shape for a natural-looking result. At Austin Dental Company, we also offer same-day dental crowns, allowing us to create and place your crown in a single visit without the need for a temporary crown while waiting for a lab-made one.

If you have a deep cavity, a tooth that needed a root canal, or a tooth damaged by an injury, you may be a good candidate for a dental crown. A crown can help restore your bite, ease discomfort, and protect your tooth from further damage. Contact your dentist in Westlake Hills, TX to schedule a visit or ask us about dental crowns.

After your crown is placed, your tooth may feel a little sensitive or sore for a few days. Over-the-counter pain relievers and rinsing with warm salt water can help.

In the long term, brush your teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste and floss once a day. You should attend dental cleanings every 6 months and limit your exposure to staining foods and drinks. If you grind your teeth, wear a mouthguard at night and don’t use your teeth as tools. 

Avoid very hard or sticky foods that could crack or loosen your crown. Try not to chew on ice, fingernails, popcorn kernels, or hard candy.
