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.

Absolutely loved my visit today. I haven't been to a dentist in 13 years because of my severe anxiety. When I called Aspen to set up an appointment the lady I was speaking to stayed on the phone with me for an hour trying to make me feel better about going she was extremely kind. She didn't have to do that but she put my mind at ease. Then when I came in for my appointment the dental assistant knowing I have severe anxiety handed me a blanket to use because when she would get anxious it helped her. The dentist hygienist and dentist were both extremely kind and patient. Explained everything step by step to help calm me. 1000/10 would recommend. They were concerned not only for my teeth but my mental health in the matter. I will be forever grateful for their kindness.

Staff was excellent and the Dr. Was very caring .

So far a good first visit, out of pocket amount seems to be affordable. They were all nice people. Im going back for extractions, I will have another feel of everything. But so far I will recommend.
