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.

I was able to get an appointment within a few days. The receptionist was very helpful and he had most everything ready when I arrived. The wait time was not long, Armani, the dental assistant brought me to the back and X-ray my teeth, did my vitals, explained what was going to happen during the visit. Dr Cho came in and examined me, she and Armani then made suggestions of how to proceed, no pressure on any one treatment plan, all were explained well and any questions answered. We decided on the plan and proceeded right away, scans were taken by Armani and consultation by Shyla who was able to get me in at the same visit for a tooth extraction. Aspen Dental and their staff were great and made me feel very comfortable during the entire process. Thank you all

This is my third trip to Aspen so far… no fault on their part. But, each time they everyone has been very nice and welcoming. Armani has helped me multiple times and did my new patient work up, she’s been really patient and understanding.

Armani was a BLESSING for real! She was so attentive through out the whole process and explained every step before she did anything. She eased my anxiety so much and genuinely made the experience a good one (and I literally had a tooth pulled so ya know, not fun lol!). Over all great dentists office!
