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.

Everyone is so nice in this office! Love how fast they can book you an appointment!

It's been alot of years since I've been to a dentist, so I had alot of anxiety about this appointment. After meeting with the dental staff, I felt more at ease. I was treated with kindness and respect. Any fears or insecurities were put to rest. They helped me with a payment plan for what my insurance didn't cover. The team at Aspen Dental are so caring, understanding and very friendly. They are the best!!!

Truly the best experience in a dental office I’ve ever had. Every person was so kind and accommodating. All my questions were thoughtfully answered and addressed. On top of that, the financial plan really is budget friendly and transparent. As someone who gets nervous before going to the dentist, this place has me looking forward to my next appointment.
