Frequently
asked questions
How long do dental crowns last?
With proper oral hygiene and routine dental care, many dental crowns can last between 10 and 15 years or longer.
Does getting a dental crown hurt?
The procedure is performed using local anesthesia to keep you comfortable. Most patients experience little to no discomfort during treatment.
What materials are dental crowns made from?
Dental crowns can be made from porcelain, ceramic, zirconia, porcelain-fused-to-metal, and other durable materials depending on your specific needs.
Can a dental crown look like a natural tooth?
Yes. Modern crowns are customized to match the color, size, and shape of your surrounding teeth for a natural-looking result.
Do I still need to brush and floss a crowned tooth?
Yes. The crown itself cannot decay, but the natural tooth underneath and the surrounding gums still require proper oral hygiene.
Can a dental crown fall off?
Although uncommon, crowns can become loose due to trauma, wear, or decay beneath the restoration. If this occurs, your dentist can evaluate and repair or replace it.
Is a dental crown better than extracting a damaged tooth?
Whenever possible, preserving the natural tooth is preferred. A dental crown can restore and protect many damaged teeth while maintaining proper bite function and oral health.
