Crown Solutions for Parker's Active Families
Dental crowns are custom-made caps that fit over damaged teeth, restoring their strength, function, and appearance. When a tooth is too compromised for a filling but does not need extraction, a crown provides durable protection that can last for decades.
Parker's three high schools - Chaparral, Legend, and Ponderosa - along with countless youth sports leagues, create a community where dental injuries are common. From football collisions to soccer headers to basketball elbows, sports accidents can crack or chip teeth. Crown treatment after emergency repair restores the natural appearance of damaged teeth.
Families in The Pinery and Pine Lane Estates who rely on well water may experience unique dental challenges. Without municipal fluoride, teeth may be more susceptible to decay that progresses beyond what fillings can address. Crowns provide the protection needed for heavily restored teeth.
Most Parker families commute 25-40 minutes to the DTC via E-470 and Parker Road. We understand busy schedules and offer after-work and Saturday appointments. Same-day crown technology is available for appropriate cases, completing your treatment in a single visit.

Dental Crown FAQs for Parker Patients
How long does it take to get a dental crown?
Traditional crowns require two appointments over 2-3 weeks. The first visit involves preparing the tooth and taking impressions; the second places the permanent crown. Same-day crown technology can complete the process in one appointment when appropriate for your situation.
Are dental crowns covered by insurance?
Most dental insurance plans cover a portion of crown costs, typically 50-80% after deductible. Coverage varies by plan. We verify your benefits before treatment and can explain your expected out-of-pocket costs. Many Parker families have good coverage through employer plans.
Can I play sports with a dental crown?
Absolutely - once fully bonded, a crown functions like a natural tooth. For Parker athletes in contact sports, we still recommend wearing a properly fitted mouthguard. Crowns are durable but not indestructible, and protecting your investment makes sense.
What happens if my crown falls off?
Keep the crown if possible and call us promptly. We can often recement a crown that has come loose. Do not try to glue it yourself with household adhesives. Until we can see you, avoid chewing on that side and keep the area clean.
How do I care for my dental crown?
Care for your crown like a natural tooth: brush twice daily, floss carefully around the crown margin, and see us for regular checkups. Avoid chewing ice, hard candy, or other extremely hard objects. With good care, crowns last 10-15+ years.
