Benefits of a Dental Crown

Dental crowns, sometimes called tooth caps, typically serve the purpose of strengthening a damaged tooth. Your tooth could be very worn down, cracked, injured, have a defective filling, or weakened from a previous root canal procedure. The crown helps save a tooth that would otherwise need to be extracted.

In some cases, dental crowns are used in cosmetic dentistry to create a better-looking smile.

Dental crowns offer several excellent benefits, including:

  • Saves a natural tooth from being extracted
  • Reliable, sturdy restoration that supplies protection and stability to your tooth
  • Natural-looking appearance, so you can feel confident when you smile
  • Restores the function of your tooth, so you can bite and chew properly
  • Permanent restoration that feels like a normal tooth
  • Long-lasting and very effective at strengthening a weakened tooth

F.A.Q.

Welcome to our frequently asked questions section! Find quick answers to common questions below. Be sure to give us a call if we can answer any questions for you! 

A dental crown is like a hard cap for your damaged tooth. It completely covers the tooth, protects it, and strengthens it so that you can use it as normal. You can chew properly and speak normally, and you probably won’t know the difference between your crown and a natural tooth. The crown is very durable, and most crowns look just like a real teeth, so no one will be able to tell the difference.

 

You won’t feel anything during the preparation of your tooth because we numb the area first. Getting the permanent crown placed and cemented in is not painful, either. If your mouth feels sore after the numbness has worn off, you can take over-the-counter pain medication to manage the pain.

 

Your dental insurance plan may cover part of your dental crown treatment. Call our dental office for specific pricing questions.

 

Dental crowns typically last 12-15 years or longer. Taking good care of your crown helps increase its lifespan. Care for your crown by brushing and flossing as you normally would. Try to avoid biting into very hard or sticky foods, and keep going to your regular dental appointments, so your dentist can keep an eye on your crown.
