From the moment you walk through our doors, you’ll find a welcoming environment and a dedicated team ready to provide restorative care for your smile. We take the time to explain your options, answer your questions, and create a treatment plan that meets your needs—whether it’s repairing a single tooth with a custom dental crown, replacing missing teeth with a dental bridge, or protecting your oral health with tooth-colored fillings.
Dental Crowns in Spring, TX
A dental crown is a custom-made cap that fits over a damaged or weakened tooth, restoring its shape, strength, and natural appearance. Crowns can also top a dental implant or protect a tooth after root canal treatment.
When You Might Need a Crown
- Repairing a large cavity
- Protecting a cracked or weakened tooth
- Improving a tooth’s appearance
- Restoring a dental implant
- Strengthening a tooth after root canal therapy
We offer a variety of crown materials, including:
- Porcelain Crowns – Highly aesthetic and ideal for front teeth
- IPS Empress® Crowns – Metal-free ceramic glass with a natural look
- IPS e.max® Crowns – Twice the strength of Empress, ideal for molars
- Zirconia Crowns – Exceptional durability with near-natural aesthetics
- Temporary Crowns – Protect teeth while awaiting a permanent crown
Same-Day Dental Crowns with CEREC®
Our in-house CEREC® technology allows us to design, craft, and place most crowns in a single visit. The process includes:
- Tooth Preparation – Remove decay or damage while preserving healthy structure.
- Digital Impressions – Quick, comfortable scanning replaces messy impressions.
- Custom Design – Your crown is digitally designed for a precise fit.
- On-Site Milling – Created from a solid block of medical-grade ceramic.
- Placement – Checked for fit and color, then bonded in place.
With same-day crowns, you avoid temporary crowns and multiple visits—leaving our Spring office with a fully restored smile in just one appointment.
Dental Bridges in Spring, TX
A dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth using your natural teeth (or dental implants) as anchors. A typical bridge consists of two crowns placed over supporting teeth with a replacement tooth in between. This design restores your bite, improves chewing function, and enhances your smile.
Our bridges are made from the same high-quality materials as our crowns, and many can be crafted using CEREC® same-day technology for added convenience. We recommend bridges when they provide long-lasting function without placing excess stress on surrounding teeth.
Dental Fillings in Spring, TX
Dental fillings repair teeth affected by decay, cracks, or minor damage. At our Spring, TX dental office, we offer two main options:
- Composite Fillings – Tooth-colored and ideal for a quick, natural-looking restoration.
- Ceramic Fillings (Inlays and Onlays) – Crafted from durable, high-quality materials for enhanced strength and aesthetics.
Our dentists have decades of experience placing fillings under every condition, ensuring your tooth is restored with precision and care.
Inlays & Onlays in Spring, TX
When damage is too extensive for a filling but doesn’t require a full crown, inlays and onlays are the perfect solution. Inlays fit within the grooves of your tooth, while onlays cover one or more cusps for added strength.
Using CEREC® same-day technology, we can design and place your inlay or onlay in one appointment—providing a durable, natural-looking restoration without multiple visits.

- Brush twice daily with a nonabrasive fluoride toothpaste
- Floss daily to clean around restorations and along the gumline
- Wear a night guard if you clench or grind your teeth
- Visit us regularly for professional cleanings and exams
