Porcelain Crowns in South Fort Worth
Using state-of-the-art materials and a top dental lab, Dr. Warren provides beautiful custom crowns of the highest quality.
Beautiful, Natural-Looking Crowns
A dental crown is a cap or shell, designed by Dr. Warren, to partially or fully cover and strengthen a tooth. Crowns are used for various reasons such as correcting a misaligned bite or improving the appearance of a smile, or when a tooth is severely damaged or decayed. A crown can also be used on top of a dental implant to replace a missing tooth.
Dr. Warren has over 10 years of experience creating natural-looking, all-porcelain crowns. He uses a high-quality ceramic porcelain and an excellent dental lab to produce crowns with an aesthetic, lifelike appearance.
Our Durable, Highly Aesthetic Crowns
Top-quality materials for superior strength and aesthetics
Your crowns will be crafted with top-quality materials for optimum aesthetics and durability.
Dr. Warren prefers all-porcelain crowns for their exceptional beauty and enduring strength. He uses e.max® ceramic; a specialized ceramic material that has superior toughness, durability and a translucent quality that makes it ideal for dental crowns. Dr. Warren will take care to ensure that your crowns will be highly aesthetic, extremely lifelike and will blend in well with the rest of your teeth.
For a patient who clenches their teeth or who needs a long-span bridge, Dr. Warren commonly uses crowns made of a porcelain outer layer over a metal core, which provides an extra measure of strength as compared to all-porcelain restorations.
Dr. Warren occasionally provides crowns made of full gold, in certain circumstances. Full gold crowns are extremely strong and would be used toward the back of the mouth for patients who heavily grind their teeth.
Premier dental lab
We have been partnering with a top-quality dental lab in Chicago for many years due to their expertise in crafting crowns that simulate nature. Their technicians are skillful artists who consistently make aesthetic, lifelike crowns in accordance with Dr. Warren’s specifications.
Custom shading
Dr. Warren uses a comprehensive shade guide to make sure your crowns will blend in perfectly with the rest of your teeth.
Dr. Warren uses a special color shade guide to make sure your crowns will look completely natural. The guide we use offers about 60 different shades, making it easy to match your tooth’s natural color. Most shade guides commonly used in dental offices offer just 15 shades in an acrylic material that doesn’t accurately reflect the coloring of the finished crown. Our shade guides are made of real porcelain ceramic tabs, enabling you and Dr. Warren to see exactly what color your new crown will be when finished.
Five-year warranty
All of our crowns carry a five-year warranty. If there any problems with your crown during the five-year warranty period, you can come back to us and we will replace at no additional cost to you.
Our crowns procedure
We can usually place your crowns in just two visits. On your first visit, Dr. Warren will prepare your tooth and place a temporary crown for you to wear. He will send the specifications for your crown to the lab for manufacturing, a process that takes about two weeks. When the crown is ready, Dr. Warren will carefully check it with you for color, shape and correct fit before cementing it into place.
When Crowns Are Used
A crown can be used for a number of reasons, including:
- To restore and protect a damaged or decayed tooth
- To correct your bite alignment
- To top a dental implant to replace a single tooth
- To protect a dead tooth from fracture after a root canal has been performed
- To cosmetically enhance your smile by correcting unsightly discoloration or misshapen teeth (veneers are also used for this purpose, but when the tooth is damaged due to fracture or decay, your doctor may recommend a crown instead)

Before and Afters
This patient had neglected her teeth and was unhappy with the toll this had taken on her mouth. The treatment involved three root canals to remove all of the decay and all six upper front teeth were restored with all-ceramic crowns.
This patient wanted to replace his front crown because he did not like the “dark” look of it. The treatment called for all-ceramic crowns on his front two teeth to replace the porcelain-fused-to-metal crown and give the best aesthetic result possible. Because the patient was a heavy grinder, his teeth had faint crack lines, and these were simulated in his two new crowns to match the rest of his teeth.
This patient was unhappy with his previous crowns and wanted a more “natural” look. The two porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns were removed and replaced with two all-ceramic crowns
This patient needed crowns to restore her fractured and chipping front teeth. All-ceramic crowns were placed with shading and texture to simulate the look of the patient’s natural teeth and improve her smile.
This patient did not want to have orthodontic treatment to close the natural spaces, but wanted a permanent fix to accomplish a more symmetrical look. Three all-ceramic crowns were placed on the left side and a three-unit all-ceramic bridge was placed on the right side. The treatment created an illusion of symmetry even though the central space could not be closed completely.
