I went early this morning for a simple exam and I left there with so much info about the state my teeth were in. My experience was delightful, from the check-in process to the payment options department. Everyone there was nice and genuine. I was blown away by how quickly everything was done.
Great experience overall, root canals are not fun but they made sure I was comfortable, as far as my crown I'm super happy with the results i can eat foods again I couldn't enjoy for a while. Even though my other teeth were worn they fit my crown to match so my teeth fit perfectly, then they triple checked to make sure. Another thing I liked was the more experience dentist was teaching the other one how to do the crown process which tells me they have a team atmosphere recommended for crowns for sure 😊
Wonderful staff and Dr Ryan is an angel, will recommend her and this office- thank you ao much

Explore answers to common questions so you know what to expect—before, during and after your dental crown visit at Aspen Dental in Hickory office.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
