Carriage Hill homes went up in the late 1980s and early 1990s, and some of the dental work we see from this neighborhood dates to the same era. Decades later, those older fillings are where cracks and new decay tend to start. Residents looking for professional dental care in Plano, TX, find us a straight drive south on Coit Rd, ready to check old work and repair what needs it.
What Carriage Hill Smiles Has Done Over the Years
Westpark Village Dental Care often sees Carriage Hill patients with large fillings that have worn, teeth that crack after years of grinding, and edges chipped by night clenching. These problems build slowly, and the tooth may feel fine until it does not. Regular exams with digital X-rays catch the change early, while intraoral cameras show you what Dr. Hardin sees.
The Restorative Care That Matters Most Here
At Westpark Village Dental Care, dental crowns are one of the most common treatments for Carriage Hill patients. A crown is a custom cap that restores the shape and strength of a damaged tooth. We take digital impressions with the Medit i700 scanner, so there are no trays of impression material to hold in your mouth.
How We Plan Treatment for Carriage Hill Patients
Dr. Hardin explains what he finds, shows you the images, and quotes the fee before any work begins. He separates what needs attention now from what can be watched, so you are not rushed into a full plan at once.

Coit Rd connects Carriage Hill to our office with no highway needed. We open at 8 a.m. Monday through Wednesday, stay until 6 p.m. on Thursday and see patients every other Saturday morning. We also hold time in the daily schedule for a tooth that breaks without warning.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does getting a crown involve?
The tooth is prepared and scanned, and a temporary cover protects it while the permanent crown is made. A return visit places the finished crown.
Will my insurance cover a crown?
Many PPO plans cover part of the cost, and our front desk gives you a written estimate before anything is scheduled. Uninsured patients on our membership plan receive 15% off.
Old filling or cracked tooth on your mind?
Request an appointment online or call our front desk to set up an exam.
When a Crack Reaches the Nerve
Sometimes a cracked tooth reaches the nerve before anyone notices. When that happens, root canal therapy can save the tooth, and Dr. Hardin usually follows it with a crown to protect what remains. Both steps happen in our office for a standard case.
