What Are Dental Crowns?
Dental crowns are protective caps placed over a tooth to restore its shape, strength, and appearance. Crowns are commonly used for:
- Severely Decayed Teeth: Crowns provide support for teeth with extensive decay that can’t be fixed with a filling.
- Cracked or Broken Teeth: Crowns protect damaged teeth from further breakage and restore function.
- Post-Root Canal Treatment: After a root canal, a crown is often placed to protect the weakened tooth structure.
- Worn-Down Teeth: For teeth that have been worn down from grinding or other issues, crowns offer a durable solution.
- Cosmetic Enhancement: Crowns can cover misshapen or discolored teeth, enhancing your smile’s appearance.

The Dental Crown Process: What to Expect
Here’s what you can expect when getting a dental crown at Every Smile Dentistry:
- Initial Consultation and Examination: We begin with an examination to assess the health of your tooth and determine if a crown is the best solution. X-rays may be taken to evaluate the tooth’s structure and surrounding bone.
- Tooth Preparation: The damaged tooth is reshaped to make room for the crown. This involves removing any decay and reducing the tooth structure to ensure a snug fit for the crown.
- Impressions and Temporary Crown: We take impressions of the prepared tooth, which are sent to a dental lab to create your custom crown. A temporary crown is placed to protect your tooth while your permanent crown is being crafted.
- Crown Placement: Once your custom crown is ready, we’ll remove the temporary crown and bond the permanent crown securely in place. We make adjustments as needed to ensure a comfortable fit and natural appearance.
Benefits of Dental Crowns
- Restores Tooth Strength: Crowns protect weak or damaged teeth, restoring their strength and durability for daily use.
- Natural Appearance: Made from tooth-colored materials like porcelain, crowns blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.
- Long-Lasting Solution: With proper care, dental crowns can last 10-15 years or more, making them a long-lasting investment in your oral health.
- Improved Function: Crowns allow you to chew, speak, and smile confidently without worry.
How to Care for Your Dental Crowns
To maximize the longevity of your dental crown, follow these care tips:
- Practice Good Oral Hygiene: Brush twice daily and floss around the crown to prevent plaque buildup.
- Avoid Hard Foods: Avoid chewing on hard foods like ice or nuts, which can damage your crown.
- Regular Dental Checkups: Attend checkups every six months to monitor the condition of your crown and overall oral health.
- Wear a Mouthguard if Needed: If you grind your teeth, consider a mouthguard to protect your crown and other teeth.

Frequently Asked Questions Answered
1. How long do dental crowns last?
With proper care, dental crowns can last 10-15 years or even longer. Avoiding hard foods and maintaining good oral hygiene can help prolong their lifespan.
2. Are dental crowns painful to get?
The crown procedure is generally not painful. Local anesthesia is used to numb the area, and any mild discomfort afterward can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
3. Can I eat normally with a dental crown?
Yes, once your crown is placed, you can eat and chew normally. However, it’s best to avoid very hard or sticky foods to protect the crown.
4. What’s the difference between a crown and a filling?
Fillings are used for small cavities, while crowns are used to cover and protect a severely damaged or weakened tooth. Crowns offer full coverage and support, unlike fillings.
5. How do I know if I need a crown?
Crowns are typically recommended for teeth that are severely decayed, cracked, or have undergone root canal treatment. Your dentist will advise if a crown is the best option.
6. Can a crown fall off?
Although rare, crowns can occasionally come loose or fall off due to decay under the crown or trauma. If this happens, contact your dentist immediately for repair or replacement.
7. Are crowns covered by dental insurance?
Many dental insurance plans cover part of the cost of crowns, especially if they’re medically necessary. Check with your provider, or we can help you understand your coverage.
8. Can a crown be whitened?
No, crowns cannot be whitened. If you’re considering teeth whitening, it’s best to do so before getting a crown to ensure a good color match with your natural teeth.
