How long do dental crowns last?

Dental crowns can last many years, but their lifespan depends on the condition of the underlying tooth, bite forces, oral hygiene, diet, and habits such as grinding or clenching. Regular examinations allow us to monitor both the crown and the tooth underneath it.

Why would I need a crown instead of a filling?

A filling works well when enough strong natural tooth remains to support it. When a tooth has lost significant structure, has a large existing filling, or is cracked or weakened, placing an even larger filling may not provide enough protection. A crown surrounds and reinforces the tooth.

Do crowns look natural?

Yes. Modern tooth-colored crown materials can closely reproduce the color, shape, translucency, and contours of natural teeth. We design the restoration to blend with the surrounding smile while providing the strength the tooth requires.

What Is a Dental Crown?

A dental crown is a custom-made restoration that covers the visible portion of a weakened or damaged tooth.

Unlike a filling, which repairs a portion of the tooth, a crown surrounds the tooth to provide additional support when substantial tooth structure has been lost.
