About Dental Crowns

Dental crowns (also referred to as dental caps) are a versatile tool used in the world of dentistry to fix a variety of issues concerning teeth. The restoration can be made from multiple materials, including metal, porcelain, resin, ceramic, and more. Which material is right for you depends on your unique smile needs and budget. For a crown that blends seamlessly with your smile, we recommend porcelain or composite resin crowns because we can match the material to the color of your natural teeth. The beauty of crowns is that—once they’re bonded to your teeth—you can care for them in the same manner that you care for your natural teeth. Our patients who opt for a porcelain crown often report that no one can tell the difference between their natural teeth and their dental crown. Sometimes, even the patients themselves can’t tell!

Reasons You May Need a Dental Crown

There’s a number of reasons that we may recommend the implementation of a dental crown into your smile. No matter what that reason may be, our talented team will help you get your smile back in good shape. A dental crown can be used to:

Support a Weak Tooth
Restore a Fragmented Tooth
Adhere Dental Bridges
Improve the Shape, Color, Length, or Overall Appearance of a Tooth
Top a Dental Implant

Does getting a dental crown hurt?

Getting a dental crown should never be outright painful for a patient. Your dentist will numb the area before preparing your tooth, helping you stay comfortable throughout the procedure. You may experience some mild sensitivity or soreness post-treatment as your tooth and surrounding tissues adjust to the crown. This usually improves within a few days. If discomfort persists or becomes severe, contact our office for an evaluation.

How much does a dental crown cost?

The cost of a dental crown varies depending on the material selected, the condition of the tooth, and whether additional treatment is needed before placing the crown. Jackson Smiles Family Dentistry is insurance-friendly, and we would be glad to help you understand your benefits and expected costs before treatment. We also accept Cherry financing and CareCredit™ to help make treatment more manageable. Patients who participate in our practice’s membership plan receive 20% off restorative treatments, including eligible dental crown services.

Can a dental crown look like a natural tooth?

Yes. Modern dental crowns can be designed to closely match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth. Tooth-colored materials such as porcelain can provide a lifelike appearance, making the crown blend with the rest of your smile. Our team always works with patients to ensure that they are happy with the appearance of their new restorations before they’re permanently placed.

How long do dental crowns last?

A dental crown can last for many years with proper care, although its lifespan varies based on factors such as the material, your oral hygiene, and how much wear the crown experiences. Brush twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, floss around the crown daily, and visit our practice regularly for routine exams and cleanings. Avoid chewing on hard objects or ice, which can damage both crowns and natural teeth. If your crown becomes loose, cracked, or damaged, schedule an appointment with Jackson Smiles Family Dentistry, and we will be happy to take a look at it.
