Dental Crowns in Houston
A crown restores a cracked, heavily filled, or root-canal-treated tooth to full strength and a natural look. At Omega Dental Specialists in Midtown Houston, crowns are planned by our prosthodontist and quoted in writing at a free consultation, so you know your number before anything starts.
Book a consultationWhen a tooth needs a crown
Crowns are for teeth that a filling can no longer save: a large crack, a tooth worn down by grinding, a broken cusp, heavy old fillings, or a tooth that has had a root canal and needs protection. The crown caps the whole tooth, restoring its shape and letting you chew on it like nothing happened. Left uncrowned, a compromised tooth tends to crack further, and what would have been a crown can become an extraction.
What crowns cost at Omega
Crown pricing depends on the tooth, the material, and whether any groundwork is needed first, so we quote it in writing at a free consultation rather than advertising a teaser number that changes later. Many PPO dental plans contribute meaningfully toward crowns, since they are restorative rather than cosmetic, and we verify your benefits for free before treatment. Financing through Cherry, Affirm, and Sunbit is available.
Materials that look like teeth
Modern crowns are typically all-ceramic or zirconia, matched to the shade of your neighboring teeth so the result disappears into your smile. The right material depends on where the tooth sits: back molars take the hardest-wearing options, front teeth get the most lifelike ceramics. Our prosthodontist, Dr. Nakul Rathi, plans this per tooth rather than one-size-fits-all.
How the process works
Typically two visits. In the first, the tooth is shaped, impressions are taken, and you leave with a temporary crown while your permanent one is custom-fabricated. In the second, the permanent crown is fitted, adjusted for your bite, and cemented. If a tooth is painful or broken right now, we also place temporary crowns same-day for $150 through our emergency service.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a dental crown cost in Houston?
It depends on the tooth and material, so Omega quotes crowns in writing at a free consultation instead of advertising a number that changes later. Insurance often contributes, crowns are restorative, and we verify your benefits free before treatment.
Does insurance cover dental crowns?
Often, yes, in part. Crowns are usually classified as restorative care, which many PPO plans cover at a meaningful percentage after your deductible. We verify your exact benefit for free before any work.
How long does a crown take?
Typically two visits: one to shape the tooth and take impressions, leaving with a temporary crown, and one to fit and cement the permanent crown once it is custom-fabricated.
What if my tooth broke and hurts right now?
Call (713) 322-7474. Our emergency service places same-day temporary crowns for $150 to protect the tooth and stop the pain, then the permanent crown is planned properly from there.
