We've helped thousands of Houston residents smile confidently again, and we're ready to do the same for you in our warm, welcoming environment where your comfort is always our priority.
What Are They?
A dental crown is a custom-made “cap” that completely covers a damaged tooth, restoring it to its original shape, size, and function while enhancing its appearance. This protective covering is cemented into place, fully encasing the visible portion of your tooth above the gum line to strengthen and protect it from further damage.
Here at Best Dental, we create crowns that not only protect your teeth but look so natural that you’ll forget which tooth had the crown in the first place. That’s our promise to you.
When You Might Need a Dental Crown
Broken or Cracked Tooth
When your tooth has fractured or cracked from trauma or biting on something hard, a crown can protect the remaining structure and prevent further damage.
"I bit down on a popcorn kernel and felt my tooth crack. The pain was immediate! Dr. Naderi placed a crown that saved my tooth from needing an extraction."
Prevents the crack from extending deeper into the tooth
Restores normal chewing function without pain
Large Cavity or Decay
When a cavity is too large for a filling to adequately support the tooth structure, a crown provides the necessary protection and prevents future breakage.
"I kept putting off my dental visits and ended up with a cavity that was too big for a simple filling. The crown not only fixed the problem but looks completely natural!"
Prevents the weakened tooth from fracturing during normal use
Seals and protects against further decay
After Root Canal Therapy
Teeth that have undergone root canal therapy are more brittle and susceptible to fracture. A crown provides essential protection for these vulnerable teeth.
"After my root canal, Dr. Naderi explained that my tooth needed a crown to protect it. Five years later, I'm still grateful I followed that advice!"
Reinforces the tooth structure weakened by root canal procedure
Prevents bacteria from re-entering the sealed root canal
Severely Worn Teeth
Years of grinding, clenching, or acid erosion can wear down your teeth. Crowns restore the proper height and function while protecting what remains.
"I didn't realize I was grinding my teeth at night until they became visibly shorter. Crowns on my back teeth restored my bite and protected my enamel from further damage."
Restores proper bite alignment and chewing function
Prevents continued wear and potential nerve exposure
Cosmetic Improvement
Severely discolored, misshapen, or unattractive teeth can be completely transformed with crowns that provide both aesthetic improvement and protection.
"My front tooth was badly stained from an old injury. My new crown matched my other teeth so perfectly that no one can tell which tooth has the crown!"
Creates a perfect shape, color, and alignment
Provides lasting results that resist staining
Support for Dental Bridge
When replacing missing teeth with a bridge, crowns are placed on the adjacent teeth to provide strong, stable anchors for the replacement tooth.
"After losing a molar, I didn't want a removable appliance. My bridge with crowns feels completely secure—I forget it's not my natural teeth!"
Creates strong support for the artificial tooth in the bridge
Distributes biting forces evenly across the dental arch

Can’t I Get A Filling Instead?
While fillings are excellent for repairing small areas of decay, they aren’t always sufficient for extensive damage. Your dentist may recommend a crown when:
- The decay is too large for a filling to adequately support
- The tooth is cracked or fractured
- The tooth needs protection from powerful chewing forces
- You want to improve the appearance of a severely damaged tooth
A dental crown provides comprehensive protection and reinforcement that a filling simply cannot match for extensively damaged teeth.

Book Your AppointmentWhat’s It Like Getting a Crown at Best Dental?
We’ve heard all the concerns about dental work—that’s why we’ve made our crown process as comfortable and straightforward as possible:
First Visit: We’ll get you comfortable (many patients say it’s like sitting in a cozy living room), take care of any needed numbing (you won’t feel a thing!), prepare your tooth, and take impressions. Before you leave, we’ll fit you with a temporary crown so you can eat, speak, and smile normally while your custom crown is being crafted.
Second Visit: This is the exciting part! We’ll remove your temporary crown, place your permanent one, and make any tiny adjustments needed so it feels just right. Most patients are surprised by how quick and comfortable this visit is!
Some dental offices promote same-day dental crowns, which in our experience are not crafted to the same precision as crowns made from our local lab.
How To Take Care Of Your New Dental Crown
The good news is that your crown doesn’t require special treatment—it becomes part of your smile! Just:
- Brush and floss like normal (no special techniques needed!)
- Enjoy your favorite foods (though maybe think twice about biting directly into those super-hard candies)
- Smile, laugh, and speak with confidence—your crown is designed to handle real life
”I completely forget which tooth has the crown. It just feels like part of me now.

FAQ About Dental Crowns
How Long Will Your Crown Last?
We believe in creating dental work that stands the test of time. With basic care, most of our Houston patients enjoy their crowns for 10-15 years or more. We’ve seen many last 20+ years!
What About Cost?
Let’s talk honestly about this—dental work is an investment in yourself. At Best Dental, our crowns start at $850, but remember:
- Most dental insurance plans cover a significant portion
- We offer interest-free payment plans that can bring your monthly investment to around the cost of a few coffee shop visits
- We believe everyone deserves quality dental care, so we’ll work with your specific situation
We’ve never let financial concerns stand between our Houston neighbors and the healthy smiles they deserve.
Crowns vs. Veneers: What's Right for You?
Sometimes patients come in thinking they need a crown when a veneer might work better, or vice versa. Here’s the simple breakdown:
- Crowns cover your whole tooth when it needs structural support or has significant damage
- Veneers are more like “facing” that goes on the front of your teeth, mainly for cosmetic improvements
During your visit with us, we’ll look at your specific situation and help you decide which option makes the most sense for your needs and budget.
