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 recently visited Aspen Dental and was feeling incredibly nervous about my appointment. Thankfully, I worked with Shelbie, the dental technician, and she was absolutely wonderful. She immediately picked up on my anxiety and went out of her way to make me feel comfortable and at ease. Shelbie was patient, kind, and explained everything. It’s rare to find someone who combines technical skill with that much genuine care for the patient. If you're someone who gets a bit anxious at the dentist, I highly recommend asking for her!

Very kind, dental assistant & finance person. They helped me so very much. Not only are they efficient, they are not judgemental. They really treated me with kindness & every effort! I'm thankful & grateful for the staff there!!

I just want to thank the entire staff for being so kind and friendly. I was suffering from a tooth ache that hit the previous night and i was able to get an appt the very next day!!! I had had terrible experience at dentist offices in the last and going back to a new dentist was scary but they greeting me from the moment i walked in they were very patient with me and my anxiety. My x-ray tech was very patient and cautious about taking my pics as she knew i was in pain. I want to thank my Dental Hygienist Shanta Fields, she was very professional, respectful, and gained my trust from the first day. Shanta talked me through it all and made sure i was in no pain during the whole deep tissue cleaning. She was very thorough explaining my future dental plans and thw work up i will need, making it comfortable for me to come back for my further visita and lastly i want to thank the Dentist. Dr. Siddiqi. He was very professional, kind and had great bedside manners. He explained the dental procedures I will need and answered all my questions. Looking forward to coming here again for my future dental needs.
