Dental Crowns in Arlington, TX
When a tooth is too damaged for a filling, a crown rebuilds it - full-zirconia, custom-shaded to match your smile, $899 self-pay.
Restoring a tooth without removing it.
A crown is a custom-fit cap that covers the visible portion of a damaged tooth - restoring strength, shape, and appearance. Crowns are the right call when a filling won't hold (severe decay, large fractures, after a root canal).
We use full-zirconia crowns: stronger than traditional porcelain-fused-to-metal, no metallic line at the gumline, and color-matched to your existing teeth so they blend invisibly.
Why patients choose Crowns.
Saves your natural tooth
A crown protects what's left of the tooth, often deferring extraction by decades.
Looks completely natural
Custom-shaded zirconia matches your other teeth - most people can't tell which tooth is crowned.
Built to last
Modern zirconia crowns commonly last 15+ years with normal wear and good hygiene.
Restores chewing function
Once placed, you can eat anything - full bite force, no restrictions.
A 2-visit process.
01Tooth preparation
We numb the area, shape the damaged tooth to receive the crown, and take a digital scan. You leave with a temporary crown that protects the tooth.
02Custom fabrication
A dental lab fabricates your zirconia crown from the digital scan over the next 1-2 weeks - color-matched, anatomy-matched, designed for your bite.
03Final placement
You return for the cement appointment - temporary off, final crown bonded permanently in place. Usually under an hour, with local anesthetic if needed.

Crown materials we use.
Full-zirconia (monolithic)
Stronger than porcelain-fused-to-metal, no dark line at the gum, color-matched. Our standard recommendation for most cases.
Layered porcelain options
For highly visible front teeth where light translucency matters cosmetically, we offer layered porcelain alternatives - discussed at your consultation.
US-based dental labs
We use established US labs with FDA-compliant fabrication. Material provenance and quality control matter for what goes in your mouth.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a dental crown cost in Arlington TX?
Dental crowns at Madison Square Dental are $899. We use full zirconia crowns for strength and natural appearance. Most PPO insurance plans cover a portion of crown costs.
How long do dental crowns last?
With good oral hygiene, zirconia crowns typically last 15–25 years. They’re among the most durable crown materials available.
Does getting a crown hurt?
The procedure is done under local anesthesia, so you shouldn’t feel pain during treatment. Some sensitivity is normal for a few days afterward.
How many appointments does a crown take?
At Madison Square Dental, most crowns are completed in two appointments: one to prepare the tooth and place a temporary crown, and one to place the permanent crown.
Crowns questions, answered.
Tap a question to expand the answer.
How long does a crown last?
Modern zirconia crowns commonly last 15+ years with normal hygiene. Many last 25+ years. The crown itself usually lasts longer than the tooth underneath needs - meaning the lifespan is often determined by the underlying tooth health, not the crown material.
Why do I need a crown after a root canal?
A root-canal-treated tooth is more brittle than a healthy one because the inner structure is gone. A crown protects it from cracking under chewing force. Skipping the crown after a root canal often leads to the tooth fracturing within 1-2 years.
Will my crown look fake?
A well-made zirconia crown is indistinguishable from a natural tooth in normal viewing. Color, translucency, and shape are custom-matched to your existing teeth.
Does getting a crown hurt?
The preparation is done with local anesthetic, so you feel pressure but not pain. Some sensitivity in the temporary phase is common. The final placement is usually painless.
Can I eat normally with a crown?
Yes - full bite force, no restrictions. The only thing to avoid long-term is using your teeth as tools (opening bottles, chewing ice) which can damage any tooth, crown or not.
