Our Crown Procedure

Consultation & Exam

We evaluate the tooth with X-rays and discuss the best crown type based on your bite, location, and goals.

Tooth
Preparation

The tooth is gently reshaped to allow space for the crown. Impressions or a digital scan are taken for precise fabrication.

Temporary
Crown

We place a temporary crown while your permanent crown is being made in the lab (usually 1–2 weeks).

Final
Placement

Once your custom crown is ready, we cement it securely in place and check your bite for comfort and function.

Benefits of Dental Crowns

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a dental crown last?

With proper care, a dental crown can last anywhere from 10 to 15 years or longer. Maintaining good oral hygiene, attending regular dental checkups, and avoiding habits like teeth grinding can help extend the life of your crown.

Will the procedure hurt?

Most patients experience little to no discomfort during the crown procedure. Local anesthesia is used to ensure your comfort, and any mild soreness afterward typically resolves within a few days.

Will my crown match the rest of my teeth?

Yes. Modern dental crowns are custom-made to match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth. Our goal is to create a seamless, natural-looking smile that blends perfectly with the surrounding teeth.

How do I care for my dental crown?

Caring for a dental crown is similar to caring for your natural teeth. Brush twice daily, floss regularly, and visit your dentist for routine cleanings and exams. Avoid chewing on hard objects like ice or pens to protect your crown.

Is a crown better than a filling?

It depends on the condition of the tooth. Fillings are ideal for smaller areas of decay, while crowns provide greater strength and protection for teeth that are significantly damaged, weakened, or have undergone root canal treatment.

Does insurance cover crowns?

Many dental insurance plans provide partial coverage for crowns when they are deemed medically necessary. Coverage varies by provider and policy, so our team can help review your benefits and discuss your options before treatment begins.
