CROWN BASICS

 What is a Dental Crown?


A dental crown is a custom-made cap that fits over a damaged, decayed, or unattractive tooth. It restores the tooth's shape, size, strength, and appearance. Crowns are a versatile solution for a variety of dental issues, offering both cosmetic and functional benefits.

Benefits of Dental Crowns

Restoration of Function:

Dental crowns can restore the functionality of a damaged tooth, allowing you to chew and speak properly.

Improved Appearance:

Crowns can enhance the look of your smile by covering discolored or misshapen teeth.

Durability:

Made from durable materials, crowns can last for many years with proper care.

Protection:

A crown protects a weak tooth from further damage and can hold together parts of a cracked tooth.

How Much Do Dental Crowns Cost?

The cost of dental crowns can vary significantly depending on several factors, including the type of crown material, the complexity of the procedure, and your geographic location. On average, dental crowns cost can range from $800 to $1,500 per tooth. Porcelain crowns, which are popular for their natural appearance, tend to be more expensive than metal crowns.

At Green Pond Dental, we strive to offer competitive dental crown prices and flexible payment options to ensure that our patients receive high-quality care that fits their budget. We also work with insurance plans to help minimize out-of-pocket expenses.

Dr Lubart and her staff gave me the best dental experience. At the jump the receptionist handled a weird insurance issue for me quickly and easily. Dr Lubart was wonderfully communicative, informative, calm, and patient. I was aware of all possible outcomes during my procedure and she took photos to show me with mini updates.

FAQ

  • Is it possible to get a dental crown on a front tooth?

    Yes, it is possible to get a dental crown on a front tooth. Dental crowns for front teeth are often used to restore teeth that are chipped, cracked, severely decayed, or discolored. These crowns are typically made from porcelain or ceramic to ensure a natural appearance that blends seamlessly with your other teeth. If you have concerns about a front tooth, consult with your dentist to discuss the best options for restoration.


  • How long do dental crowns last?

     Dental crowns can last between 10 to 15 years or even longer with proper care. The longevity of a crown depends on factors such as the material used, your oral hygiene practices, and habits like grinding or clenching your teeth. Regular dental check-ups and good oral hygiene are essential for maintaining the durability of your crown.


  • How long do temporary dental crowns last?

    Temporary dental crowns are designed to last for a short period, typically between 1 to 2 weeks, while you wait for your permanent crown to be fabricated. They are made from less durable materials than permanent crowns, so it’s important to avoid hard or sticky foods and practice good oral hygiene to ensure the temporary crown stays in place until your permanent crown is ready.


  • Dental Crown vs. Veneer: What’s the Difference?

    Dental Crowns and veneers are both used to improve the appearance and function of teeth, but they serve different purposes:

    Dental Crown: A crown covers the entire tooth, providing strength and protection. It’s ideal for teeth that are severely damaged, decayed, or weakened. Crowns can restore both the function and appearance of a tooth.

    Veneer: A veneer is a thin shell that covers the front surface of the tooth. It’s used mainly for cosmetic purposes, such as improving the appearance of discolored, chipped, or slightly misaligned teeth. Veneers are less invasive than crowns and are typically used on front teeth.

    Choosing between a crown and a veneer depends on the condition of your tooth and your specific needs. Your dentist can help you decide which option is best for you.



  • Is it normal to experience dental crown pain, and how can I manage it?

     It's not uncommon to experience some level of pain or discomfort after getting a dental crown. Dental crown pain can occur due to the sensitivity of the tooth, an improper fit, or irritation of the surrounding gums. Pain after dental crown placement typically subsides within a few days. If you have a temporary dental crown, pain might also be present as these crowns are not as perfectly fitted as permanent ones. Generally, the procedure itself is not painful, so if you're wondering, are dental crowns painful, rest assured that any discomfort is usually manageable. To alleviate pain, use over-the-counter pain relievers, avoid hard or sticky foods, and practice good oral hygiene. If the pain persists or becomes severe, contact your dentist to ensure there are no complications
