How do dental crowns work?

A dental crown is a cap placed over a tooth to protect it. It helps fix teeth that are weak, broken or misshapen. Your Aspen Dental dentist shapes the tooth, takes a mold and then places the crown on top. The crown looks and works like a real tooth.

How long do dental crowns last?

Dental crowns can last up to 15 years. They last longer when you brush, floss and visit your dentist often. Chewing on hard foods can wear them down. If the crown gets damaged, your dentist may be able to replace it.

Can I whiten my teeth if I have crowns?

Crowns don’t respond to whitening treatments, so their color remains the same. If you whiten your natural teeth, your crown may no longer blend in. For the best color match, it’s usually recommended to whiten your teeth before getting a crown.

Can I eat normally with a dental crown?

Yes, you can eat normally once the crown is set in place. At first, it’s a good idea to chew on the other side of your mouth. Try to avoid sticky or hard foods that might loosen the crown.

Do dental crowns require special care?

Dental crowns don’t need special care, but you still need to brush and floss every day. Regular dental visits help keep the crown and your other teeth healthy. Avoid grinding your teeth and ask your Aspen Dental dentist if a night guard might help.

Every single person at the Newberry Road location was absolutely amazing! Jarron and Shannon and the ENTIRE STAFF went out of their way to correct any issues that arise and the make the entire process smooth and relaxed for someone with severe anxietyregardingdentist. THANK YOU NEWBERRY ROAD BRANCH, GAINESVILLE, FL!!!

My experience at Aspen Dental was wonderful from beginning to end. Everyone was friendly from the receptionist to the x-ray tech to the dentist to the dental hygienist to Jarron the billing person. I'm bad with names so I could only remember the last one. 😅 I had a fair amount of questions along the way and each person answered them quickly and thoroughly. As someone who has never been a fan of going to the dentist, their professionalism helped ease my nerves. I'll be back.

Best experience I've ever had at a dentist. Everyone was very kind, informative, professional and helpful. I was suffering from 2 absessed molars at gum level and despite being a walk-in and them being busy with no openings, they found the time to squeeze me in. Words cannot express how grateful I am. I used to hate going to the dentist. These people have changed that. Im not saying I look forward to the dentist lol. But when I have to go, I feel less anxious and stressed. I know I will be well taken care of.
