Dental Crowns & Bridges in Houston Heights
Dental crowns and bridges restore the strength, function, and appearance of teeth that are damaged or missing. A crown covers and protects a weakened or heavily restored tooth, while a bridge fills the gap left by one or more missing teeth using crowns on neighboring teeth as anchors. Together, they help you chew comfortably, speak clearly, and smile with confidence.
At Clio Dental Studio in Houston Heights, Dr. Rouhani designs custom crowns and bridges using advanced digital scans and high‑quality ceramics. Each restoration is color‑matched and shaped to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, so your smile looks complete and feels stable — without anyone noticing you’ve had dental work done.

How the Crowns & Bridges Process Works
When you might need a crown or bridge
Dental crowns and bridges at Clio Dental Studio in Houston Heights restore teeth that are cracked, weakened or missing. A crown is a custom cap that protects a damaged tooth; a bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring to the teeth beside the gap. Dr. Sanaz Rouhani, DDS, FAGD, plans each one from an iTero digital scan and color-matches it so it blends in with your natural smile.
A cracked or weakened tooth
A crown holds a fractured or worn tooth together and protects it from breaking further.
A very large filling
When a filling no longer has enough healthy tooth around it, a crown restores strength.
After a root canal
A crown protects a tooth that has had root canal treatment.
A missing tooth
A bridge fills the gap so you can chew and smile comfortably again.
Crown materials
Dr. Rouhani recommends a material based on where the tooth is, how you bite and how natural you want it to look.
Bridge or implant for a missing tooth?
Both are good options. Dr. Rouhani explains which suits your teeth, bone and goals. See dental implants.
What happens, step by step
Exam and planning
Dr. Rouhani examines the tooth, takes digital X-rays and explains whether a crown, a bridge or another option such as an onlay suits you best.
Preparing the tooth
The tooth is numbed and gently shaped so the crown can fit over it.
iTero digital scan
The iTero scanner captures a precise 3D model, with no messy impression material.
Your temporary
In-office 3D printing creates precise models and temporary restorations, so you leave protected while your final crown or bridge is made.
Fitting your final crown or bridge
Your restoration is checked for fit, bite and color, then cemented in place.
Caring for your crown or bridge
- Brush twice a day and floss, including under a bridge with a floss threader.
- Keep your regular check-ups and cleanings.
- Avoid chewing ice and hard objects, and wear a nightguard if you grind.

Crowns and bridges questions, answered
How long does a dental crown last?
With good care, crowns typically last many years. Brushing, flossing, regular check-ups and protecting your teeth from grinding help them last longer.
Does getting a crown hurt?
The tooth is numbed before it is prepared, so most patients feel pressure rather than pain. Mild sensitivity for a few days afterwards is common.
How many visits does a crown take?
Usually two: one to prepare and scan the tooth and fit a temporary, and one to fit your final crown.
What is the difference between a crown and a bridge?
A crown covers and protects one damaged tooth. A bridge replaces missing teeth by anchoring false teeth to crowns on the teeth either side of the gap.
Should I get a bridge or an implant?
A bridge is quicker but relies on the neighboring teeth; an implant leaves them untouched and supports the jawbone. Dr. Rouhani explains which suits your case.
Does insurance cover crowns?
Many PPO plans cover part of the cost of crowns and bridges. Clio Dental Studio accepts most major PPO plans and gives you a breakdown before treatment.
