What are Dental Crowns?

Dental crowns are designed to cover a tooth as part of its restoration and are customized to blend in with the surrounding teeth. Sometimes referred to as a cap, crowns are commonly used to protect fractured or broken teeth and give a tooth more strength after a root canal treatment.

Porcelain crowns may be used in restoration and cosmetic dentistry procedures as they are an excellent solution for restoring functionality and appearance.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Crown Treatment

When is a dental crown recommended?

A tooth crown is often recommended when a damaged tooth is too weak for a traditional filling. If you have a cracked or broken tooth, significant decay, or a tooth that is badly damaged, a crown can restore strength and function. By covering the entire tooth surface, this restoration helps protect against further damage while preserving as much of your natural structure as possible.

What can I expect during the dental crown process?

The dental crown procedure begins with an examination and a personalized treatment plan. Depending on your needs, you may receive temporary crowns while your restoration is created by a dental laboratory. Once ready, your permanent crown or final crown is placed and adjusted for a comfortable fit. With advanced technology, some patients may even qualify for a same day crown completed in office during a single visit.

Can crowns help replace missing teeth?

Yes. Crowns are commonly used to support a dental bridge when replacing missing teeth. These restorations, including bridges, help close a gap, improve appearance, and restore chewing ability. A crown can also provide essential support for neighboring teeth while creating a more natural look and feel that blends with your smile.

How long do dental crowns last?

With proper care, a new crown can last for many years. Maintaining good oral hygiene through brushing, flossing daily, regular cleanings, and routine dental visits helps ensure the crown remains strong. Crowns are designed to withstand normal chewing forces, making them one of the most reliable dental restorations available today.

How much does treatment cost and will insurance help?

The dental crown cost depends on several factors, including materials, complexity, and your overall oral condition. Our experienced dentist can review your insurance plan, explain potential insurance coverage, and help you understand benefits available through your insurance provider. Many patients use dental insurance to reduce the overall cost of treatment. We use high quality ceramic materials designed to restore function, protect natural teeth, enhance the shape of your tooth, and help you maintain a beautiful smile. Contact us to schedule an appointment if you have questions about your mouth or treatment options. For patients with decayed teeth, crowns can provide lasting protection and restoration.
