What Is a Dental Crown?

This tooth-shaped dental cap is designed to perfectly cover a tooth that’s been compromised. By fitting over the tooth, a crown can strengthen its structure, protect it from future damage, and minimize the risk of decay. These restorations can be created out of various materials, but our practice prefers crafting dental crowns out of porcelain. This will make the new tooth durable, crack-resistant, and incredibly natural-looking by reflecting light similar to your enamel. Dental crowns are typically used for teeth that:

The Process of Receiving a Same-Day Dental Crown

For traditional crowns, you’ll typically have to wait several weeks while your restorations are being fabricated at a local dental lab before you can enjoy the results. However, our office can provide you with same-day CEREC crowns, which you can leave with in just a single appointment. Firstly, we’ll assess your smile before cleaning out any decayed or damaged tissue. Our team will then reshape your tooth by removing a small portion of your enamel to make space for your restoration. After taking impressions of the area, we’ll have you wait in our office for about an hour as our in-house CEREC technology constructs your new tooth. Once this is done, you’ll return to the examination chair and have your permanent dental crown fitted into place.

Dental Crown for Front Tooth

A dental crown for a front tooth restores function and aesthetics, perfect for damaged or discolored teeth.

FAQ

anything

The cost of dental crowns can vary depending on the type of material used, the complexity of the procedure, and your location. Since each patient’s needs are unique, we recommend contacting us directly for a personalized quote. Our team will be happy to discuss your options and provide an accurate estimate tailored to your dental care needs.

Dental crowns are designed to be durable and can last anywhere from 5 to 15 years, or even longer with proper care. Factors such as the material of the crown, your oral hygiene practices, and the amount of wear and tear can all impact its lifespan. Regular dental checkups and avoiding habits like teeth grinding can help extend the longevity of your crown.

The process of getting a dental crown is typically pain-free thanks to local anesthesia. Some patients may experience mild sensitivity or discomfort after the procedure as their mouth adjusts, but this usually subsides within a few days. If you feel significant pain, it’s important to contact your dentist to rule out any complications.

If your dental crown falls out, keep it safe and contact your dentist immediately. Avoid chewing on the affected side and refrain from using over-the-counter adhesives to reattach the crown yourself. Your dentist will assess whether the crown can be re-cemented or if a replacement is necessary. Acting quickly can prevent further damage to the tooth beneath the crown.
