Dental Crowns in McKinney, TX

Is your smile feeling less than perfect? If you have a weakened, damaged, or cosmetically flawed tooth, a dental crown might be the answer. Crowns are like protective caps for your teeth that can strengthen them and have become a popular treatment because of their ability to give your smile a whole new look!

When do you need a dental crown?

To protect your tooth after a root canal.
To provide extra support for teeth with large fillings.
To cover dental implants and complete your smile.

A Powerful Restorative Solution

Crowns allow you to chew and speak comfortably again without worrying about pain or discomfort!
We custom-make them to match your natural teeth and blend seamlessly into your smile to ensure you get a boost of confidence.
With the right care, they can last you many years and protect your weakened teeth from further damage.

From Tooth to Crown

When visiting Dr. Pauline or Dr. Howard for dental crowns, your consultation will begin with an assessment of the condition of your tooth. We’ll then discuss whetehr or not a crown is the best restorative option for your needs. If we decide that it is, we will prepare your tooth by removing decay and damage and shaping it to accommodate your crown.

We then make an impression by creating a custom-fit crown. While your permanent crown is being fabricated, we fix a temporary crown to protect the prepared tooth and maintain your smile’s appearance until your restoration is completed. Once your crown is fabricated, you’ll visit us again for the fitment of your permanent crown–and your smile is set!

Frequently Asked Questions

How long will it take to get a dental crown?

The length of your procedure will vary depending on the complexity of your case, how many crowns you need, and how much preparation is needed before placing them. Generally, though, this procedure takes one to two hours.

How long will my dental crown last?

Our crowns can last for many years, often over a decade, though this also depends on how well you maintain your restoration.

Does it hurt to get a dental crown?

The process itself is minimally invasive, which means our patients only experience mild discomfort. We can numb the area around your tooth to make the procedure more tolerable. After your procedure, you may experience some sensitivity for a few days, but it can be effectively managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
