Restorative Dentistry/Dental Crowns & Bridges

Dental Crowns & Bridges in Easton Park

A tooth can crack when you least expect it. Sometimes it is a spill at Skyline Park. Sometimes a stray elbow at a game, or a popcorn kernel that fights back. When it happens to you or one of the kids, you want it handled fast and close to home, not across town. We cap cracked and broken teeth right here on William Cannon, minutes from the Union food trucks and McKinney Falls. We get the tooth comfortable, get it protected, and talk the nervous ones through it the whole way. Planning to whiten too? Do it first so we can match your crown to the brighter shade.

The basics

A crown caps a cracked or broken tooth and holds it in one piece, while a bridge fills the gap of one already lost. Both are crown and bridge work we do every week.

A crown holds a cracked tooth together. A bridge fills a gap a missing tooth left. Cap it before the crack spreads.

Crowns

What are dental crowns?

A dental crown is a custom-made cap that fits completely over a damaged tooth. It restores the tooth's strength, shape, and appearance. It also protects against further damage.

Crowns are made from several materials

Porcelain or ceramic: Natural-looking and ideal for front teeth
Metal or metal alloys: Maximum strength, best for back molars
Porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM): Balances durability with a natural appearance
Zirconia: Strong, tooth-colored, and biocompatible

Our team uses precise digital scans to make every step of your crown treatment smooth and efficient.

Bridges

What is a dental bridge?

A dental bridge replaces one to three consecutive missing teeth. It anchors onto surrounding teeth or implants (called abutments) and uses artificial teeth called pontics to fill the gap.

This restores chewing and speaking function. It also prevents remaining teeth from drifting out of alignment.

Bridges come in four main types

Traditional bridges: Crowns on adjacent teeth support the pontic
Maryland bridges: A pontic held by thin wings bonded to the backs of neighboring teeth, with little to no reshaping
Implant-supported bridges: Anchored to dental implants for added stability
Cantilever bridges: Attached on one side only, used in specific cases

Why a crown

Why a cracked tooth needs a crown.

An untreated crack only spreads with each bite. A crown wraps the tooth and holds it together so you keep it.

Keeps a crack from costing you the tooth

Here is the thing about an untreated crack. Every bite drives it a little deeper. Cap the tooth and that pressure spreads across the whole shell instead of prying at the split. That is the line between saving the tooth and pulling it.

Nobody can tell

We match the crown to the teeth around it. A repaired front tooth does not show up in the class photo or out on the soccer field.

Easy on anxious kids

We numb the tooth first. If a kid, or a grown-up who hates the chair, needs extra help to relax, sedation is an option you can ask about when you book.

Close to home, which matters here

A cracked tooth does not improve on its own. Being right here in Easton Park, we can usually get you in before a small crack turns into a big one.

Saving the tooth is plan A

Most cracked teeth we can crown and keep. We only talk about pulling when a crack runs too far down the root, and we say so straight.

What to expect

The crown & bridge procedure.

Treatment is straightforward and broken into clear, predictable steps. Here is what happens at each stage.

Tooth preparation

Your dentist reshapes the damaged tooth to make room for the crown.

Digital scan

Accurate 3D scans create your custom crown, with no messy putty impressions.

Temporary crown

Protects your tooth while the permanent crown is fabricated.

Permanent placement

The crown is fitted, checked for bite and alignment, and bonded in place.

Before your visit

How to prepare for your crown appointment.

A little preparation goes a long way toward a smooth visit. Here’s what to keep in mind before you come in.

Feeling prepared makes a real difference. Our team is happy to walk you through what to expect before anything begins.

Eat beforehand

Local anesthesia can make eating uncomfortable for a few hours afterward. Have a meal before your appointment.

Share your medical history

Let your dentist know about any medications, allergies, or recent health changes. This helps us plan your care safely.

Ask about sedation

If dental anxiety is a concern, ask our team about dental sedation options when you book.

Plan your day

Most crown appointments take one to two hours. Your dentist will let you know what to expect at each visit.

Arrange a ride if needed

Sedation patients should arrange transportation home in advance.

Know your options

Crowns vs. other restoration options.

Not every damaged tooth needs a crown. Here’s how crowns compare to other common options.

CrownvsFilling

A filling works well for minor decay or small damage. When more than half of a tooth's structure is compromised, a crown provides full coverage and stronger protection.

CrownvsImplant

A crown restores a natural tooth that still has its root. A dental implant replaces a tooth that has already been removed. Sometimes both are needed to complete a restoration.

CrownvsVeneer

Veneers cover only the front surface of a tooth for cosmetic improvement. If a tooth is cracked, weakened, or has had a root canal, a crown is the right choice, not a veneer.

Is it right for you

When a cracked or chipped tooth needs a crown

Not every chip needs a crown. A little one we can usually smooth or bond, and you are out the door. Crowns are for the bigger stuff. A deep crack. A real piece of tooth missing. A tooth that just had a root canal and needs the armor. The American College of Prosthodontists notes a crown fully covers and protects a damaged tooth. You may be a good crown candidate if you have:

✓A cracked, fractured, or heavily decayed tooth
✓A tooth that has had a root canal
✓Missing teeth that need a stable, fixed replacement
✓Dental implants that need a crown to complete the restoration
✓Severe discoloration or a misshapen tooth affecting your smile

Make it last

Caring for your crowns and bridges.

Good daily habits extend the life of your restoration significantly. Follow these simple guidelines.

Brush and floss daily

Pay close attention to crown margins and beneath bridge pontics.

Avoid hard or sticky foods

These can damage or dislodge your restoration.

If you grind your teeth, a guard protects your restoration from excess wear.

With consistent care, your crown or bridge can last well over a decade.

Tooth troubles?

Cracked tooth questions

Common questions we hear from Del Valle families about crowning a cracked tooth. Still wondering? Just ask us at your visit.

Call (512) 489-4015

My tooth cracked but it does not really hurt. Can it wait?+

Better not to wait. A crack that is quiet today can open up the next time you bite something hard, and then you can lose the tooth. Let us look at it while it is still a crown-sized problem.

Will a crown on a front tooth be obvious?+

No. We match it to the teeth on either side and eyeball it in normal light before it goes in for keeps. If we have done our job, nobody can pick out the one we fixed.

My kid is scared of the dentist. What can you do?+

Plenty. We numb the tooth so it does not hurt, and we keep things slow and calm. If your child needs more to relax, we can talk sedation. There is more on kids visits here. Flag it when you book and we will be ready.

How many visits is a crown?+

Two, usually. Visit one cleans up the tooth, scans it, and sends you off with a temporary. Visit two sets the real crown and checks the bite. Both are a short hop off William Cannon.

Can the tooth be saved, or will it need pulling?+

Most cracked teeth we can crown and keep. Now and then a crack runs too far down the root to save, and if that is the case we will say so straight and walk you through what comes next. Saving the tooth is always plan A.
