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.

Featured Reviews

I don’t often write reviews, but the team at Aspen Dental absolutely deserves to be recognized for what they did for me this past week. From the moment I walked in, Bree at the front desk treated my situation with urgency, respect, and genuine concern. She immediately recognized how severe my condition was and had me in a chair within 10 minutes of arrival. That kind of attention can literally change the outcome for a patient in pain, and I will never forget it. Once I was brought back, Juan, the dental assistant, never left my side. He showed me a level of dignity, encouragement, and compassion that I have never experienced in a dental setting before. He talked me through every step, grounded me through the fear and discomfort, and made an overwhelming situation feel manageable. His kindness was constant, and it mattered more than he knows. Dr. Soca, who ultimately performed the extractions, showed a level of empathy and professional integrity that truly stood out. I could tell he was conflicted about removing a front tooth… most dentists would hesitate. But he listened to me, understood the severity of my pain, and made a decision rooted in compassion rather than cosmetic hesitation. He moved with confidence, explained everything, and gave me relief I had been desperately needing. The entire team stayed past operating hours just to make sure I was taken care of safely and thoroughly. That is not something most practices would do. It speaks volumes about the values of this office and the people in it. Because of the collaborative efforts of Bree, Juan, and Dr. Soca, I’ve made the decision to trust Aspen Dental with my ongoing care. When you’re a patient with complex dental problems and you’ve felt dismissed or minimized elsewhere — compassion and respect become just as important as skill. They made me feel seen, safe, and valued in one of the most painful moments of my life. Even in the absence of my beloved front tooth, I’m truly grateful, and I can confidently say that this team has earned my trust completely. Thank you, Aspen Dental and thank you especially to Bree, Juan, and Dr. Soca. You made an unbearable situation bearable, and that is something I’ll never forget.

An excellent support team!
