Dental Crowns Come to the Rescue
Dental crowns are tooth-shaped caps that completely encase a tooth. They can protect and strengthen a tooth weakened by trauma or decay, camouflage a misshapen tooth, or even act as a stand-in for a missing tooth when paired with dental implants.
With their advanced training in cosmetic and restorative dentistry, the dentists at 38th Street Dental in Austin, TX, have the skills to take full advantage of the versatility of dental crowns to solve patients' dental problems.

They are kind and accommodating. I have anxiety due to bad experience at a different dental office and the staff and dentists here make sure I’m okay each step of the way and explain what is happening. I will continue to see them even though they are out of network for my insurance because they are professional and helpful.

Choosing the Right Type of Crown Material ...
It's an Art and a Science
Dentists have a wide variety of ceramic dental materials to choose from today, from porcelain to zirconia, but it takes a skilled dentist to select the right material for a specific procedure.
Crowns at the front of the mouth require a high degree of aesthetic appeal while crowns at the back need to withstand the daily grinding forces that go along with every meal. We can make crowns out of metal, porcelain-fused-to-metal, zirconia, and IPS e.max® to address these varied situations.
Our knowledgeable dentists at 38th Street Dental in Austin will carefully balance all the factors in selecting your crown material to ensure it has the beauty and durability you'll appreciate for years to come.
