If you have a tooth that is broken, damaged, or weak, dental crowns can help protect it and make it strong again. A dental crown is a custom-made cap that covers your tooth and restores its shape, size, and strength. Crowns look just like natural teeth and help improve your smile. At Smiles of Bulverde, we make dental crowns in San Antonio, TX that fit perfectly and feel comfortable. Whether you need a crown after a root canal therapy or to fix a cracked tooth, we’re here to help. Dental crowns are a safe and long-lasting solution for your dental needs.

Your dentist, Dr. Jamie Knox or Dr. Lisa Ding, will first examine your tooth to determine if a crown is the best solution for your dental issue. They will then prepare your tooth for the crown, which may involve removing a portion of your tooth to make room for the crown.

Your dentist will first examine your tooth using digital X-rays to determine whether a crown is the best solution or if alternatives like dental implants may be more suitable. Once the tooth is prepared, an impression is taken to create a custom-made crown, and a temporary crown is placed to protect your tooth while the permanent one is being made.

When your permanent crown is ready, your dentist will remove the temporary crown and cement the permanent crown onto your tooth. They will ensure the crown fits comfortably and matches the rest of your teeth.
A dental crown is a custom made "cap" that is placed over a tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance.

In San Antonio, the cost of a dental crown typically ranges from $1,100 to $1,800 per tooth. The final price depends on the material chosen:

At Smiles of Bulverde, we use specialized shade guides and natural spectrum lighting to ensure your crown matches the complex "warmth" and yellow undertones of your surrounding natural teeth perfectly.
A high-quality dental crown typically lasts between 10 and 15 years, though many last much longer with excellent care. The longevity of your crown depends on:
Dental crowns can be made from several materials, including:
