Natural-Looking Porcelain and Zirconia Dental Crowns in Plano, TX
Westpark Village Dental Care provides dental crowns in Plano, TX, at 1820 Coit Rd, Suite 145. Dr. Jordan Hardin uses custom crowns to rebuild teeth that are cracked, worn down, or weakened by decay or a root canal.
Our intraoral camera shows images of your teeth on a chairside monitor, so you can see the problem for yourself while Dr. Hardin explains what he finds.
Signs a Tooth Needs a Crown, Not Another Filling
A filling repairs a cavity. A crown caps the entire visible part of the tooth, restoring its shape and protecting it from further damage. As part of our restorative dentistry care, we may recommend a crown for:
A cracked tooth.
A cracked tooth often hurts when you bite down or release a bite, and the crack can spread over time. A crown holds the tooth together.
A large or failing filling.
When a filling takes up most of the tooth, the remaining walls are thin and prone to breaking. A crown protects what is left of the natural tooth.
A tooth after root canal treatment.
A treated tooth usually needs a crown or other restoration to protect it. We handle simpler root canal therapy in our office and refer molar and other complex cases to a trusted local specialist.
Teeth worn down by grinding.
Clenching and grinding wear teeth shorter over time. A crown can rebuild a worn tooth, and if you grind, we may recommend a custom nightguard to protect it.
Decay around an older crown.
If the edge of an old crown opens at the gumline, bacteria can get underneath and cause decay. Dr. Hardin removes the old crown, treats the decay, and places a new crown.
What Our Patients Say
Reviews From Plano Families
Replacing Older Crowns and Choosing a Material
Many older crowns have a metal layer under the porcelain. If the gums recede, that metal can show as a dark line at the gumline. Ask Dr. Hardin whether a tooth-colored crown is a good replacement.
We offer zirconia and porcelain crowns, both of which are tooth-colored throughout. Zirconia is known for its strength and is a common choice for molars that handle heavy chewing. Porcelain dental crowns tend to be more translucent, so they blend in well on a front tooth. Whichever material you choose, the crown is made to match the color of your surrounding teeth.
The Two-Visit Crown Process
Most crowns are completed in two appointments, about two weeks apart.
01
Visit one: preparing the tooth.
Dr. Hardin numbs the area with a local anesthetic, reshapes the tooth so the crown fits, and takes impressions. Before you leave, you receive a temporary crown that protects the tooth. A lab technician then makes your permanent crown from Dr. Hardin’s measurements.
02
Visit two: placing the permanent crown.
When your crown arrives, we remove the temporary, cement the permanent crown in place, and make any final adjustments. Some sensitivity to hot and cold afterward is normal and usually fades within a few days.
A dental assistant stays with you for the whole appointment and explains each step. If you feel anxious about dental work, ask about nitrous oxide or oral conscious sedation.
Dental Crowns Plano, TX: Fees, Insurance, and Payment Options
The fee for a crown depends on factors such as the material, the tooth involved, and whether other treatment is needed first. Dr. Hardin reviews the images with you and quotes the fee before any work begins. New patients also receive a written estimate of what their insurance covers before we schedule treatment.
We file insurance claims on your behalf to help you get the most from your benefits. If you don’t have dental insurance, our In-House Membership Plan costs $40 per month per person. It includes two exams, two professional cleanings, and two sets of X-rays each year, plus 15% off other dental services (products excluded), with no deductible and no waiting period.
For larger treatment plans, we offer interest-free in-house financing with several plan lengths, as well as CareCredit, Cherry, and Sunbit.

Dr. Hardin and Our Care Team
Dr. Jordan Hardin leads our family and cosmetic dental clinic in Plano. He prepares and places every crown at our practice and earned his DDS at the University of Nebraska College of Dentistry. Our practice holds affiliations with the American Dental Association, the Academy of General Dentistry, and the Texas Dental Association.
Crowns also anchor dental bridges and restore dental implants. Dr. Hardin is a Fellow in Implant Dentistry through Implant Pathway’s Dental Implant Continuum, so we plan and place dental implant cases in our office rather than referring them out.
Patients have given us a 4.9-star rating on Google across more than 400 reviews, and the practice received the Best of BusinessRate 2024 award for dentists in Plano, Texas.
Getting Here From Willow Bend, Old Shepard Place, and Beyond
Our office sits in the West Park Village shopping complex at Coit Road and West Park Boulevard, less than five minutes north of the President George Bush Turnpike along Coit. Willow Bend and Old Shepard Place are both a short drive away, as are Richardson, Carrollton, Frisco, and Allen.
Crown Questions From Plano Patients
Do you treat crown patients from outside Plano?
Yes. Both crown appointments take place at our Coit Road office, and booking the second visit before you leave the first makes it easier to plan both trips.
Do you offer same-day crowns?
Our crowns are made by a dental lab, so treatment usually takes two visits about two weeks apart. Between appointments, you wear a temporary crown that protects the tooth and helps you get used to the feel of a crown before we place the permanent one.
Can I schedule crown visits around work?
Our latest appointments are on Thursdays, when we are open until 6:00 pm, and we see patients every other Saturday from 8:00 am to 1:00 pm. Because we hold time in the daily schedule for dental emergencies, we can usually see you the same day if a tooth breaks.
Does your team speak Spanish?
Yes. Our team speaks six languages, including Spanish, and we offer a Spanish-language patient registration form on our website. Completing your paperwork online before your first visit means less time in the waiting room.
How long will my crown last?
With good care, a crown typically lasts 10 to 15 years or more. Brush twice a day, floss daily where the crown meets the gum, and avoid chewing ice, hard nuts, and sticky candies like caramel. Let us know if you grind your teeth, and call us right away if a crown feels loose or comes off.
