1. What is a dental crown and when is it needed?
A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap placed over a damaged tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Dr. Jason Daaboul often recommends a crown when a tooth has a large cavity, is cracked or broken, has undergone a root canal, or needs protection after an old, large filling fails. He'll carefully assess your tooth to determine if a crown is the best solution for your situation.
2. How much does a dental crown cost in Grapevine?

He and his team are happy to help you understand your insurance benefits to maximize your coverage for your dental crown.
3. Is the dental crown procedure painful?
