What are dental crowns?
Dental crowns are custom-made caps that cover and protect a damaged or weakened tooth. They restore the tooth’s shape, size, strength, and appearance, making it fully functional again. Crowns are often used after root canals, to support a large filling, or to cover a dental implant. They are a durable solution designed to blend in with the surrounding teeth, preserve the tooth’s structure and integrity, and help patients maintain positive oral health.
How long do dental crowns last?
Dental crowns typically last between 10 to 15 years, but with proper care, they can last even longer. The lifespan of a crown depends on factors like the material used, your oral hygiene habits, and how much wear and tear the crown experiences. Our office uses zirconia crowns, which are known for being highly durable. Avoiding habits like teeth grinding or chewing on hard objects can help prevent additional wear. Our team will monitor the condition of the crown and recommend replacement if needed.
Are dental crowns noticeable?
Dental crowns are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, making them virtually unnoticeable. Crowns are custom-shaded to match the color of your surrounding teeth, ensuring a natural appearance. With modern dental technology, most crowns look and feel just like natural teeth, allowing you to smile and speak with confidence. Should your crown ever start to look noticeable, please let us know, and we will work with you to find a suitable solution.
Should I get a crown or a bridge?
Whether you should get a crown or a bridge depends on your specific dental needs. A crown is ideal for restoring a single damaged or weakened tooth, providing strength and protection. If you are missing one or more teeth, a bridge may be a better option, as it uses crowns on the adjacent teeth to support a false tooth (pontic) in the gap. Our Anderson dental team will assess the condition of your teeth and gums, as well as your overall oral health, to recommend the most suitable treatment for you.
