We’ve answered some of the most common questions about this treatment to help you feel informed and confident. If you have a question that isn’t covered here, please get in touch with our team.
What is a dental crown and when is it needed?
A dental crown, often called a "cap," is a custom-made restoration that completely covers a damaged or weakened tooth. It's used to restore the tooth's size, shape, and strength, and to improve its appearance. A crown may be needed to protect a weak tooth from breaking, hold parts of a cracked tooth together, restore a tooth that has been severely worn down, or to cover and support a tooth with a large filling or after a root canal.
What is involved in the dental crown procedure?
The procedure is typically completed in two appointments. During the first visit, the dentist will prepare the tooth by filing it down to make room for the crown. An impression or digital scan of the prepared tooth is then taken and sent to a dental lab to fabricate the permanent crown. A temporary crown is placed to protect the tooth. At the second appointment, the temporary crown is removed, and the permanent crown is cemented into place after the dentist ensures it fits correctly and matches the color of your other teeth.
How long do dental crowns last and how do you care for them?
The lifespan of a dental crown can vary, but on average, they last between 5 and 15 years, with some lasting much longer with proper care. The longevity depends on factors like the crown's material, its location in the mouth, and your oral hygiene habits. To care for a crown, you should brush and floss it just like a natural tooth. It's important to pay special attention to the area where the crown meets the gum line to prevent decay and gum disease. Avoiding hard, sticky, or chewy foods and refraining from habits like teeth grinding or using your teeth to open packages can also help extend the life of your crown.
