What Are Dental Crowns?
A damaged tooth doesn't have to mean the end of your smile's beauty or strength. Dental crowns, also known as dental caps, provide a simple solution to restore and protect weakened teeth. 5 Star Dental Group is a patient-friendly San Antonio, TX practice that provides these dental restorations to add strength and resilience to teeth that closely match the color and shape of your natural teeth. These porcelain crowns serve both restorative and cosmetic purposes, returning function and appearance to a tooth that may be cracked, severely worn, or oddly shaped. Typically made of durable materials, like porcelain or ceramic, crowns are designed to withstand the normal pressures of chewing and talking. Crowns may also be attached to dental implants to replace missing teeth, helping to stabilize your bite and provide a realistic, comfortable fit. Schedule a consultation today to determine if a custom dental crown may restore your dental health and smile.
How Do Dental Crowns Work?
The dental crown procedure generally takes place over two visits. First, our team prepares the affected tooth, removing any damaged or decayed areas to ensure a stable foundation. After shaping the tooth, an impression is made. This mold is then sent to a lab where the porcelain dental crown is custom-crafted to fit seamlessly over your tooth. A temporary crown is placed to protect the area until your second visit. During this appointment, the temporary crown is removed, and your new custom crown is secured into place. This fitting is carefully adjusted to make sure it feels comfortable and natural when you bite down. Crowns are designed for durability, and with good care, the longevity of dental crowns can often last 10 – 15 years or even longer, allowing you to enjoy the benefits for years.

Dental Crowns Reviews
It was efficient and professional. Great experience and caring about my pain level.Thanks Dave Hawk
Efficient and friendly staff. Very helpful, knowledgeable.
My husband and I have been going here for about 25 years. They are always friendly, on time and professional, from Mary Jo at the front desk to every single staff member. Dr Tostado is wonderful, knowledgeable with extreme attention to detail. He communicates every aspect of your care. He makes us feel comfortable Dr. Acuna gave me my numbing medicine on my last visit and I didn’t feel any discomfort during its administration and afterwards. She was excellent and was so gentle. They are upfront with all aspects of your care, very ethical and we have never been disappointed. The office is beautiful too, very calm and very clean. I would recommend this practice all the time.
