Yesterday was the first time I visited. One of my crowns from years past had broken! Desperate and concerned, I made an appointment at Dr. Stephen's office! This experience has been thus far, the best dental visit ever! I felt heard, comfortable, and definitely welcomed. The entire process was painless!

During a consultation at Stephens and Gatewood Dentistry, we will assess the affected tooth to ensure that a crown is the correct course of action. X-rays will also be taken to determine the extent of the damage.
Teeth that are badly damaged may require root canal therapy before the crown can be placed. In other cases, patients will first undergo dental implant surgery to replace the portion of a missing tooth below the gumline.
Same-Day Dental Crowns Using CEREC® Technology
Our advanced CEREC technology allows us to place most tooth crowns in a single visit. After preparing your tooth and taking dental impressions, our dentists use our in-house milling machine to craft your custom crown from a solid block of medical-grade porcelain.
Dental Crown Treatment Process
In some instances, your dentist may need to send your case out to our trusted dental lab partner. In these cases, a temporary crown will be placed to protect your tooth while the lab fabricates your restoration by hand – a process that usually takes about three weeks. Once your case is shipped back to our Spring office, your dentist will remove the temporary crown and replace it with your permanent crown.
If you are eligible for a CEREC restoration, we can typically complete your entire treatment in a single visit.
Tooth crowns may be fabricated from a number of advanced materials, including porcelain and zirconia.
Types of Dental Crowns
There are several types of tooth crowns available at Stephens and Gatewood Dentistry. Your dentist will recommend a restoration based on your specific needs.
Porcelain crowns are highly aesthetic and are often used on front teeth that are visible when you smile. Additionally, porcelain mimics natural tooth enamel.
Made from biocompatible ceramic glass, IPS Empress crowns offer a more durable, metal-free solution that still blends in with your natural teeth.
Twice the strength of Empress, IPS e.max crowns are crafted from lithium disilicate and are often used on teeth that bear the brunt of chewing forces.
Made from zirconium dioxide, a type of metal that looks like ceramic, zirconia tooth crowns offer both optimal strength and aesthetics.
Often made from composite resin materials, temporary crowns are placed whenever patients are waiting for their permanent crowns.
Paying for Your Dental Crown
We believe that everyone should have access to high-quality dental care. That's why we offer a wide range of financing options at our Spring office. We are in-network with most major dental insurance plans, including Cigna, Aetna, and Delta Dental. We also offer a number of third-party financing options through CareCredit®, Wells Fargo, and Compassionate Finance™. Our team can help you find a solution for your unique needs and budget.
