Dental Crowns in El Paso
Restore Your Smile and Strengthen Your Teeth
At Lee Trevino Dental, we understand how important it is to keep your teeth strong, healthy, and looking their best.

Whether you need to repair a cracked tooth or protect a tooth after a root canal, our El Paso dental team is here to help.
Types of Dental Crowns
At Lee Trevino Dental, we offer several crown options to meet your needs:
Porcelain Crowns
Porcelain crowns provide a natural appearance and are an excellent choice for front teeth. They mimic the look of your natural teeth and are resistant to staining.
Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM) Crowns
PFM crowns combine strength and aesthetics. The metal base offers durability, while the porcelain coating provides a natural look. These crowns work well for both front and back teeth.
Metal Crowns
Metal crowns are extremely durable and can withstand heavy chewing forces. They are often used for molars and areas where strength is more important than appearance.
Zirconia Crowns
Zirconia crowns are known for their strength, durability, and natural look. They are biocompatible and often preferred for patients seeking both aesthetic and lasting results.
The Dental Crown Process
Getting a dental crown usually involves two visits:
Consultation and Preparation
We examine your tooth, take X-rays, and prepare it for the crown. An impression is taken to ensure the crown fits perfectly.
Placement
Once your crown is ready, we fit and adjust it before cementing it in place. We’ll make sure your bite feels natural and comfortable.
The Benefits of Dental Crowns
Dental crowns offer a range of benefits that make them one of the most common restorative treatments:
- Protect damaged teeth from further decay or injury
- Restore chewing ability and improve bite alignment
- Enhance appearance for a natural, confident smile
- Strengthen teeth after procedures like root canals
- Long-lasting results with proper care and maintenance
Crowns are an investment in both the health and beauty of your smile.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do dental crowns last?
With proper care, dental crowns can last between 10–15 years—or even longer. Good oral hygiene and regular dental visits help extend their lifespan.
Does getting a crown hurt?
No. Your dentist will use local anesthesia to ensure you’re comfortable during the procedure. You may feel some sensitivity after placement, but this usually goes away quickly.
Can crowns be whitened?
No. Crowns are made of porcelain, metal, or zirconia, which cannot be whitened like natural teeth. If whitening is desired, it should be done before crown placement.
What should I avoid after getting a crown?
Avoid chewing hard foods, ice, or sticky candy immediately after placement to help ensure your crown stays in place and lasts longer.
How do I take care of my dental crown?
Brush twice daily, floss carefully, and visit your dentist regularly for checkups and cleanings. Avoid habits like teeth grinding, which can damage crowns.
Can a crown fall off?
While crowns are designed to be permanent, they can occasionally loosen or fall off due to decay, improper fit, or trauma. If this happens, contact your dentist promptly.
Are crowns noticeable?
No. Modern crowns are designed to match your natural teeth in shape and color, making them virtually indistinguishable from surrounding teeth.
