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 dentist isn’t supposed to be fun, yet here we are! The profound professionalism and stunning personalities in this office are amazing. I’ve genuinely left feeling better than I did when I came in, which is not the usual for any dentist. I cannot recommend this place enough, Thank you to those I’ve had stellar conversations with and to the hard workers who have kept my smile bright!

Had severe tooth pain over the weekend and made an appointment for Monday morning. The staff were all friendly and they were able to get me into an appointment that day to get my tooth extracted. I also didn’t have insurance and the price was very reasonable and they even knocked some money off the initial quote. The doctor was professional as well as the staff and overall had a great experience at the dentist. Thank you all for helping me out so much!

Very friendly people and service and they don’t try and overcharge you they have good dental plans/accommodations
