Dental Crowns & Onlays in Cypress, TX
Dental crowns are a type of restoration that Dr. Lori Logan recommends to improve the structure, strength, and stability of a tooth. When you have a tooth that has broken, fractured, or cracked, or if you recently had a root canal, a crown can improve its integrity.
Crowns also help to restore your bite, making eating and chewing more comfortable. There are many types of tooth crowns available, such as ceramic, porcelain, and same-day.
Why We Recommend Dental Crowns
The first step is an examination at our Cypress dental office with Dr. Logan to determine if you would benefit from having a crown placed. Most people who want a crown placed over a specific tooth will benefit from having the procedure done. There are several reasons why Dr. Logan may recommend a crown, including:
- You have a broken, fractured, or cracked tooth
- You have a root-canaled tooth that needs protection
- A tooth has a very large filling that is compromising the integrity of its structure
- You have recently had a dental implant placed and need a crown to restore function and appearance
Most healthy adult patients are good candidates for tooth crowns. In some cases, even teenagers can benefit from them. Because this restoration can be made with either porcelain or ceramic, it looks and feels completely natural.
The Steps for Getting a Dental Crown
During your first appointment, we will make sure you are comfortable and numb the area before beginning treatment. Dr. Logan will carefully reshape the tooth to create space for the crown, then take impressions that are sent to a dental lab where your custom crown is made.
At your second appointment, Dr. Logan will check the crown for proper fit, make any needed adjustments, and securely cement it in place. With good home care and regular dental visits, dental crowns can last ten years or longer.

How We Use Tooth Onlays
An onlay is a type of dental restoration that we use as an alternative to fillings and crowns. You can think of an onlay as the middle ground between a smaller filling and a larger crown needing to be placed on a tooth.
Dr. Lori Logan may recommend an onlay if you have a large amount of decay that isn’t compromising the tooth enough to warrant a full crown. Like all our dental restorations, we design your onlay to look and feel like a natural part of your tooth.
Some of the reasons you may need an onlay are:
- You have a large amount of decay
- There is a chance a filling may crack the tooth
- The tooth won’t benefit from a full crown
- Cracks and breaks are present in the tooth
Steps for Getting an Onlay
Your treatment begins with a consultation and exam at our Cypress dental office. If an onlay is the right option for your tooth, Dr. Logan will carefully prepare the damaged area and remove any weakened or decayed tooth structure. She will then take an impression, which is sent to a dental lab where your custom onlay is made.
At your next appointment, you will return to our office so Dr. Logan can place and adjust the onlay for a secure, comfortable fit. With proper care and routine dental visits, an onlay can last for many years. Onlays are often an excellent option for restoring strength, function, and structure to teeth that are too damaged for a filling but do not need a full crown.
