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.

The whole staff is very friendly and willing to answer,any questions you may have or any concerns you may have. They definitely make you feel at ease. This was my 1st visit and I have a very high anxiety when it comes to needles and dentists in general,but not here. The dentist promised me I wouldn't feel the needle and I believe him. I finally found a dentist I feel comfortable with and feel I can trust. Will definitely be going back. I need my teeth pulled and the best part is I'll be walking out with dentures the same day. It's GREAT I'll finally be able to not only smile again,but have the smile i use to have thanks to them. My appt is coming up to get my teeth pulled and normally my anxiety due to needleswould be through the roof but not with this team, i am but more excited know. My appt is coming up to have my teeth pulled,the team made me feel very comfortable and relaxed to the point I am really looking forward to seeing them again and going to my appt. I'm feeling like an excited child waiting for christmas

Such a wonderful experience here! Friendly staff, very knowledgeable assistants, hygienists, and dentists. The assistant was great at giving x-rays, the hygienist told me more about a chronic condition with my teeth than I had ever known, and the dentists asked me if I had any questions at the end of the visit! I never felt rushed! Go here..you won’t regret it. SECOND REVIEW!!! Google will not let me leave a second review with the same account so I’m editing this one to let everyone know that I just had my first cleaning at this location and it was the most amazing cleaning I have ever had in my entire life!! I have never had a dental cleaning and felt no pain until today! They are fast, efficient, thorough, and so very friendly at this location! From the dentist to the hygienist to the receptionist… Everyone here is absolutely lovely, helpful, and warm! I travel a good distance to come here for my dental care because of how wonderful it is!

Staff were friendly and professional. Entire building was clean. My appointment was on time. Dr was great and very informative. Entire experience was perfect. Sure doesn’t smell like a dentist office, which is a good thing.
