Dental Crowns and Restorative Dentistry in Waskom, Texas

A dental crown is a custom cap that covers a damaged, cracked, or heavily filled tooth to restore its strength, shape, and appearance. Dr. Kevin Nguyen may recommend a crown after a large filling, a root canal, or a fracture, so the tooth can work normally again. At our Waskom, Texas office, each dental crown is shaped and shaded to blend naturally with the rest of your smile.

A traditional dental crown usually takes two visits. At the first visit, we gently prepare the tooth and take an impression, then place a temporary crown. At the second visit, we fit and bond your permanent crown. If you are hoping for a faster option, call our Waskom team at (903) 686-2082 and we will let you know what choices are available for your specific tooth.

A dental crown covers and protects a single damaged tooth, while a dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring to the healthy teeth on either side of the gap. Both restore function and appearance, and Dr. Kevin Nguyen will help you decide which is right for your situation. Patients across Waskom and East Texas rely on crowns and bridges to eat and smile comfortably again.

Yes. Gateway Dental and Implant Center places tooth colored composite fillings that match the natural shade of your teeth, so repairs blend in instead of standing out. Tooth colored fillings restore teeth affected by decay while keeping your smile looking natural. If you think you have a cavity, our Waskom, Texas team can check it and treat it quickly.

The cost of a dental crown depends on factors such as the material used, the size and location of the tooth, and whether additional treatment like a root canal is needed. Your dental insurance may also cover part of the cost. Our team accepts most PPO insurance plans, Texas Medicaid, and CHIP, and we explain your estimated coverage in plain language before treatment begins so there are no surprises.
