Dental Crowns
Dental crowns offer a natural-looking solution for teeth that are damaged or aesthetically challenged.
38th Street Dental in Austin, TX, uses premium dental materials and the latest technology to design crowns that look good and stay strong.
With advanced training in cosmetic and restorative dentistry, our dentists' custom crowns look natural and feel comfortable in your mouth.
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.

A High-Tech Office With a Personal Touch
Top flight technical and administrative staff. I can witness that Dr Tasch Is top flight. AND...given that every time I go back they have a new piece of dental technology, they apparently aren’t afraid to invest in their business of serving their patients using “the best”.

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.

A dental crown solves many of the problems patients bring to us and allows us to restore their smiles. We may recommend a dental crown to:
- Restore a tooth extensively damaged by decay or trauma
- Protect a tooth after root canal therapy and restore its shape
- Improve a tooth's shape or size to create a more beautiful smile
- Replace a missing tooth by pairing a crown with a dental implant
- Secure a traditional dental bridge to replace missing teeth
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 crowns 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 occur 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.

"Gentle and kind." Patients Appreciate Our Austin, TX, Team
There’s a reason this dental office has such great reviews. The people there are not only extremely good at what they do, but they’re personable and kind.
The nurse and doctor patiently listened to me about my complaints and took my pain seriously (which they fixed 100%). I no longer dread going to the dentist.
Dr. Meek and his staff are wonderful! They are gentle and kind and always go above and beyond to keep my teeth healthy! I was born with terrible teeth and have required several crowns. I would never let anyone but Dr. Meek do this work. He is super meticulous with color and fit and has successfully repaired prior dental work that was done in another state. He also has a great sense of humor. Love this guy!
