Dental Crownsin Houston, TX
Restore strength, shape, and beauty to your smile with expertly crafted dental crowns. At The Houston Dentists in Bellaire, TX, Dr. Kathy Frazar offers custom-designed crowns that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, whether you need to repair damage, protect a weakened tooth, or complete a dental implant.
What Are Dental Crowns?
Dental crowns are tooth-shaped restorations that completely cover and protect a damaged or compromised tooth. Designed to mimic the appearance and function of natural enamel, crowns are often used when a tooth is cracked, worn down, or after a root canal. At The Houston Dentists, we use high-quality materials, including ceramic and zirconia, to ensure your crown looks natural and lasts for years. Every crown is custom-designed to fit your bite, restore strength, and improve your smile’s overall appearance.
Reinforces Weakened Teeth
Crowns act as protective armor for teeth that have been cracked, decayed, or structurally compromised, preserving your natural tooth underneath.
Restores Natural Shape and Function
Whether you’re chewing, speaking, or smiling, a crown allows you to use your tooth with full confidence, just like you would a healthy natural tooth.
Seamlessly Matches Your Smile
We craft each crown with precision, using tooth-colored materials that match your surrounding teeth in shape, color, and translucency.
Zirconia Crowns
Zirconia is strong, biocompatible, and metal-free—ideal for patients seeking a highly durable and aesthetic restoration with no gray lines near the gumline.
Porcelain Crowns
These are excellent for front teeth and highly visible areas, offering a natural look with beautiful translucency and shade-matching capabilities.
Implant-Supported Crowns
If you’re replacing a missing tooth with a dental implant, your crown is the final touch, designed to look and feel just like your natural tooth.

What to Expect
The Dental Crown Process
Dr. Frazar will examine your tooth and take digital impressions to plan your crown. If the tooth is damaged or decayed, it will be gently reshaped to support the crown.
While your custom crown is being crafted in the lab, a temporary crown is placed to protect the tooth and maintain your smile’s appearance and function.
Once your crown is ready, we’ll remove the temporary and bond your permanent crown securely in place—making sure the fit, bite, and aesthetics are just right.
Frequently Asked Questions
We have answers for you!
With proper care and regular dental visits, most crowns last 10–15 years or longer. Zirconia crowns often offer extended durability due to their high strength.
Not at all. The process is gentle and performed under local anesthesia. Most patients experience little to no discomfort during or after treatment.
If a tooth is too damaged for a filling to provide long-term support, a crown is the better choice. It offers full coverage and restores strength to the entire tooth structure.
