Need care now? Call (800) ASPEN-DENTAL
Sometimes you’ll want a cap for a tooth to protect your natural tooth, other times you may choose to have a tooth capped for purely cosmetic reasons. Here are some reasons why you may consider teeth caps:
To help keep a weakened tooth from breaking
To restore a worn down tooth
For conditions that require emergency dental care, like a broken, chipped or cracked tooth
To cover a dental implant used to replace a missing tooth
To protect a tooth after a root canal
As a cosmetic dentistry option to cover a misshapen or discolored tooth
At Aspen Dental, 95% of dental crowns are made from zirconia—the strongest, most durable material available. Explore the other types of teeth caps available to you.
Metal crowns are a durable, affordable option for back teeth because of their metallic color. | Porcelain crowns fused to metal and ceramic are a popular choice because they blend in with your natural teeth. | All-ceramic or all-porcelain crowns are the most natural-looking. Choose them for your front teeth or if you have metal allergies. | Resin crowns are temporary crowns you can wear until your permanent solution is ready. |
At Aspen Dental, we do anything to make care affordable to you. Ask your local office about dental crown costs and to see an estimated range of pricing. How much your teeth caps cost will depend on factors including the material of the crown, the amount of dental work needed and the location of your Aspen Dental office.
