What Are Dental Crowns?
A dental crown is a custom-made cap that fits over a damaged or weakened tooth, fully covering it down to the gumline. It restores the tooth's shape, size, and strength while protecting what remains underneath. Crowns are used to repair cracked, broken, or heavily decayed teeth, to cover a tooth after a root canal, or to complete an implant or bridge. At Lava Dental, we use natural-looking, tooth-colored materials so your restored smile blends in beautifully.
The Benefits of Dental Crowns
Restored Strength
A crown rebuilds a weak or broken tooth, letting you bite and chew comfortably again without fear of further damage.
Natural Beauty
Crafted from tooth-colored porcelain or ceramic, modern crowns blend seamlessly with your smile for a natural, lasting look.
Tooth Protection
By covering a vulnerable tooth completely, a crown shields it from cracks, decay, and wear, helping you keep it for years to come.
Lasting Durability
Built from strong, high-quality materials, a well-cared-for crown can protect and support your tooth for a decade or more.
What Happens When You Get a Dental Crown?
- 01
Warm Welcome
A friendly team member greets you by name and helps you settle comfortably into the chair, with time to ask questions before we begin.
- 02
Exam & Prep
Your dentist examines the tooth, gently numbs the area, and shapes it so the crown will fit securely and comfortably.
- 03
Digital Impression
We capture a precise digital scan of your tooth, replacing messy putty trays with a quick, comfortable, highly accurate image.
- 04
Crown Crafting
Your crown is designed to match the shape and shade of your natural teeth, often made the same day with our in-office technology.
- 05
Final Placement
We check the fit and your bite, make any small adjustments, and bond the crown securely into place for a comfortable, natural result.
When Do You Need a Dental Crown in Houston, TX?
Notice any of these? Schedule a visit. Early care is easier care.
Cracked Tooth
A cracked, chipped, or broken tooth often needs a crown to hold it together and protect it from further damage.
Large Cavity
When decay is too extensive for a filling, a crown restores the tooth's strength and seals out future problems.
After Treatment
Teeth can become brittle after a root canal, and a crown protects them from fracturing as you bite and chew.
Worn Teeth
Severely worn or weakened teeth can be rebuilt with crowns, restoring both their function and their natural appearance.

I just love Nova Dental and the service is world class. From the front to the back the are so nice. Venessa greets you with a smile and always ask how I am doing. Stephanie explains exactly what my insurance covers and help me schedule to get all my services done so I have 0 or minimum out of pocket. Ryan and Jackie the dental staff make sure I am comfort and let me know every step that the doctor will be doing. Taking X-ray, anesthesia, just all has been so good. Dr. Balai is truly the best. I had deep cleaning, crown put on and extraction. I didn't have any issues. I recommend Nova Dental for all your dental needs. I am looking forward to the New Year to complete my dental needs.
I had an amazing experience at Lava Dental! From the moment we arrived, the staff was incredibly kind, patient, and welcoming. They took the time to answer all of my questions and never made me feel rushed. I brought all of my children, and two of my children have special needs, so it means a lot to me when a dental office takes the time to understand their individual needs and makes them feel comfortable. Lava Dental did exactly that! They were patient, gentle, caring, and very detailed with each of my children. They treated every child with kindness and made sure they understood what was happening. I truly appreciate the time, patience, and compassion the entire team showed my family. They made what can sometimes be a stressful experience feel comfortable and positive. Thank you, Lava Dental, for taking such great care of my children and making us feel welcomed and valued. We truly appreciate you! ❤️🦷
I had a terrible tooth pain that was unbearable. I called many places and found Lava Dental on my browser. It was late in the day and they fit me in for a same day appointment. The staff were super friendly and listened to my concerns. I was seen immediately and explained in detail on what I had and the solutions. Dr. Ebrahimi was super gentle and fast. She's a true master of her profession. I was in and out quickly. I had a wisdom tooth removed; it was quick and, most importantly, painless. I want to thank Sylvia, Orlando, and Dr. Ebrahimi for their prompt assistance and warm hospitality. They were able to quickly provide a painless resolution to my problem. I would highly recommend this dental office.
Dr. Milad Balaei is truly one of the best dentists I've ever experienced. From the moment you walk in, you feel welcomed and comfortable. He is incredibly professional, patient, and detail-oriented, making sure everything is done perfectly and pain-free. He takes the time to explain every step, which builds so much trust and confidence. The results are always amazing, and you can tell he genuinely cares about his patients. If you're looking for a skilled, honest, and caring dentist, I highly recommend Dr. Balaei
So far, my experience with Lava Dental has been great. I arrived feeling nervous and anxious about my teeth, but the staff was incredibly welcoming and friendly, which immediately put me at ease. I had an extraction done, and the process was quick and far less unpleasant than I expected.
