Protect and Strengthen Your Teeth With Crowns
A tooth that is cracked, severely decayed, weakened after a root canal, or simply broken down beyond what a filling can fix doesn't have to be lost. At North Frisco Dental & Orthodontics, a dental crown offers a durable, natural-looking solution that fully encases the damaged tooth — restoring its shape, strength, and appearance so it can function just like it did before.
Dental crowns are one of the most versatile and commonly placed restorations in dentistry. Whether you need to protect a vulnerable tooth, anchor a dental bridge, or complete an implant restoration, a well-fitted crown is built to last and designed to blend seamlessly with the rest of your smile.

What is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown is a custom-made cap that fits over the entire visible portion of a tooth — from the gum line up. It encases the tooth completely, restoring its original size, shape, and function while protecting what remains of the natural tooth structure underneath.
Crowns can be fabricated from several materials depending on the location of the tooth, the degree of damage, and aesthetic preferences. At North Frisco Dental & Orthodontics, we offer tooth-colored options including porcelain and zirconia that are virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth — delivering strength and aesthetics in equal measure.
When is a Dental Crown Needed?
A crown may be recommended for a variety of clinical and cosmetic reasons, including:
- A tooth with extensive decay that cannot be restored with a filling
- A cracked or fractured tooth at risk of splitting further
- A tooth that has been weakened following root canal treatment
- A severely worn tooth due to grinding or acid erosion
- A broken tooth or one with a large failing restoration
- Completing a dental implant with a natural-looking prosthetic tooth
- Anchoring a dental bridge on either side of a gap
- Improving the shape, size, or appearance of a misshapen tooth
Types of Dental Crowns We Offer
Porcelain Crowns
All-porcelain crowns offer the most natural appearance and are an excellent choice for front teeth where aesthetics are the priority. They are color-matched precisely to your surrounding teeth and reflect light similarly to natural enamel.
Zirconia Crowns
Zirconia is an extremely durable ceramic material that combines the strength needed for back teeth with the aesthetic quality of tooth-colored restorations. It is resistant to chipping, highly biocompatible, and one of the most popular crown materials in modern dentistry.
Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM) Crowns
PFM crowns feature a metal substructure with a porcelain exterior. They offer good durability and a natural appearance, though a thin dark line may become visible at the gum line over time as gums recede.
