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.

One of the best experiences from a dental company. I called to setup an appointment and was told it wouldn't happen until a week later at the Midland location. I told them I couldn't wait that long and thanked them for their time, but I was asked to hang on the line for them to check at other locations, to see if there were any earlierappointments. The operator came back and said they had a same day appointment but it was in Odessa in 50 minutes. I jumped on it. We got there at 10:25 AM and was greeted immediately. Receptionist was friendly and helped me get setup as a new patient. While I was still working on the tablet, inputting my info, I was called back to start the process of getting the x-rays. That associate was just as friendly and efficient. Once she was finished she asked me to have a seat and I would be called back shortly. It didn't take long at all, 7 minutes or less, before I was called back. I was seated in the dental chair while the associate asked questions, explained what was going to happen and then I waited a little bit longer and the dentist walked in. He told me what he saw when he looked at the x-rays and what I needed. He was friendly, kind, and patient with me and my spouse, asking questions. He said the hygienist would be in to evaluate my teeth and gums and then go for a cleaning. She was quick and efficient and I was onto the next step, cleaning. Painless and not messy. Water wasn't being sprayed all over my face (like I had happen at another place). The cleaning was a good experience, to say the least. The last stop was getting my minor cavity taken care by the dentist. Again, quick & painless. I really appreciate them getting me in the same day. The staff, Sidney, especially and the dentist, Dr. Patton are top notch and I would recommend them to everyone! Even my husband has jumped on the bandwagon and made an appointment for next month!

Very welcoming! Love the people, always takes care of me!!!

Dr.Patton and Sidney as well as the hygienist I apologize for missing her name have made going to the dentist a comfortable experience for me. They are all very polite here and answered any questions and concerns I had. They have excellent communication and customer care. Excited to get my smile back in shape with Aspen Dental.
