A crown, also known as a cap, covers a tooth to restore it to its normal shape and size, thereby strengthening and improving its overall appearance.
A crown may be recommended to cover and support a tooth with a large filling. A crown can be used to attach a bridge, protect a weak tooth from breaking, or restore one that is already broken.
There are three main types of dental crowns. Each designed for different applications. Metal gold crowns are particularly suitable for posterior teeth exposed to heavy chewing forces.
Porcelain or ceramic crowns, offer excellent aesthetic results and closely match the appearance of natural teeth. They blend seamlessly in with your smile.
Finally, Porcelain fused to metal (PFM) crowns combine the strength of metal with the cosmetic appeal of porcelain. This type of crown is often recommended for load-bearing teeth that are visible when you smile.

My husband and I moved to Fredericksburg and were looking for a dentist. Husband needs sedation dentistry due to dental trauma experienced in childhood. Few dentist will do sedation dentistry but Dr. Cox will. So now we have been going to Dr. Cox for about 3 years. My husband has had many procedures and he is very pleased. I had only had teeth cleaning until……an emergency - a painful cracked tooth! Dr. Cox and team really came through for me. They got me in for a consult same day and next day scheduled the work. An implant was a possibility if the damages were too severe but fortunately that was not required. On the day of the procedure, Dr. Cox performed a root canal, prepped the tooth for a crown and installed a permanent crown. I walked out in two hours, problem solved! I am grateful and well pleased with this dentist office and Dr. Cox. Also, the office is clean, well run, and the staff is friendly. One improvement that is needed and I hope they are working on it, is getting the parking lot repaired/resurfaced - it’s hard to avoid the holes.
Let’s get to the important stuff first: Dr. Cox is the absolute wizard of Novocain injections. It doesn’t matter what part of your mouth he needs to poke, you don’t feel a thing! He also does great dentistry. He’s done several different procedures for me including crowns and a root canal and I’ve been very happy with the results. His staff is friendly and efficient and I’ve never waited longer than 10 minutes to be seen. I’ve been a patient of Dr Cox for years. The reason I’m writing this review now is because I had a crown come off a tooth and needed it to be put back on. He saw me immediately, took 3 ex rays and fixed the problem and, even though the crown was from another dentist, didn’t charge anything. Great guy, great practice, great dentist.
I always have a good experience when I visit Cox Family Dentistry. No matter if it's a regularly scheduled cleaning or an emergency crown repair during the Holidays, I am cheerfully greeted upon arrival and ushered into the exam room shortly after. They always update me on the status of my dental health, letting me know which teeth may be in need of future attention. Friendly and professional staff.
I have been coming here for over 15 years and love every aspect of this office. You see the same faces every visit and each time they treat you like family. The hygienists are very thorough and knowledgeable they put you at ease but still educate you about your oral health. Dr. Cox has performed root canals and crowns on me and now I'm hoping to do an implant. It is so nice to get it all done in one office. His assistants are very caring and compassionate and always able to answer a question no matter how busy they are. The front desk staff greet everyone by name and are very enthused to see you whenever you walk through the door. They never act bothered to help explain a bill or the very confusing aspects of dental insurance. Both of my children have had braces with Dr. Sherri and what makes this office the best ortho office around is her hands on approach. You see Dr. Sherri every visit and she personally changes all wires. She is wonderful at explaining procedures and putting all fears at ease. I love my dental office!!
