A handheld vise for dental crowns includes a vise block, an elongated handle extending from the vise block, a linear screw embedded in the vise block, and first and second jaws. The second jaw may be arcuate on a gripping surface thereof to conform to the shape of a dental crown. The handheld vise is sized for quickly and readily securing a dental crown such as a stainless-steel dental crown for use in pediatric dentistry. An elastomeric material may be used on the gripping surfaces of the vise. A radius of curvature of the gripping surface of the second jaw may be between about 25-35 mm. A height of the jaws may be between about 2-5 mm, and a distance between the first jaw and a vertex of the second jaw may range from about 3-10 mm. A method and kit for forming crowns including the handheld vise are disclosed.
