Infection can lead to swelling, bleeding, tooth sensitivity, and other painful symptoms. Fortunately, dental crown treatment starts with cleaning out decay to address the source of your discomfort.
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.
Crowns Offer a Natural-Looking Solution for Many Dental Issues
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 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
Symptom Relief
Restored Function
Tooth loss or decay can negatively impact day-to-day oral function, such as chewing comfortably and speaking clearly. A crown is designed to let you eat the foods you love and speak with clarity.
Tooth Protection
A dental crown acts as a barrier between your affected tooth and irritants that can take a toll on its health and structure, including bacteria, acids, and food particles.
Improved Aesthetics
Tooth decay or missing teeth can make you feel self-conscious about your smile. Our dentists construct crowns that match the shade of our patients’ natural teeth.
Using Dental Crowns to Restore Your Teeth
A dental crown is a cap that looks just like your natural tooth. After we record your measurements, we can send them to a dental laboratory where your custom crown will be created. In the meantime, we can fit you with a temporary crown so you don't have to go another day without restored function. To learn if you're eligible, visit our Austin dentists.

What a Real Patient Has to Say About Her Experience
Alice lost her natural tooth while eating. She then began the same journey you may be on now. We were able to keep her calm and confident throughout her dental treatment and she is now truly happy with her teeth.
Our Team Believes in the Importance of Education
Over the years, the field of dentistry has made incredible strides in terms of patient care, treatment efficacy, and sophisticated technology. Our dentists make the most of what modern dentistry has to offer — and implement new and improved materials, techniques, and other best practices that provide you with a smile you’re ecstatic about. At our Austin dental office, education is a significant priority in three different ways:
- Patient Education: From your initial consultation to placing your permanent crown, we will keep you educated and informed. That way, you can leave our office feeling confident about your treatment, results, and continued at-home care.
- Our Education: Our dentists, Dr. Meek and Dr. Tasch, never stop learning. They pride themselves on pursuing continued education, allowing them to bring new methods and technologies to our practice.
- Professional Education: Dr. Tasch studied at the #1 ranked dental school in the nation. Dr. Meek is an authority in his field, and even teaches other dental professionals about Nobel Biocare™, a company that creates dental implants.
"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!" - Anne Robinson
