Frequently asked questions

When do I need a dental crown?

Crowns are recommended for teeth with large fillings, after root canal treatment, for cracked or broken teeth, to improve appearance, or to complete a dental implant.

How long do crowns last?

With proper care, dental crowns typically last 15-20 years or longer. Regular dental checkups and good oral hygiene are key to maximizing their lifespan.

Do crowns look natural?

Yes! Modern ceramic crowns are custom-shaded to match your natural teeth perfectly. They're virtually indistinguishable from your natural teeth in both appearance and function.

Is getting a crown painful?

The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so you won't feel pain during treatment. Some sensitivity after placement is normal and typically subsides within a few days.

What's the difference between a crown and a veneer?

A crown covers the whole tooth (like a cap) to restore strength and structure, while a veneer is a thin shell that covers mainly the front surface to improve appearance with less tooth reduction.

Which is better: zirconia crowns or porcelain crowns?

Zirconia is usually better for strength and back teeth, while porcelain (often porcelain-fused or layered ceramics) is often better for the most natural look on front teeth; the best choice depends on your bite, esthetic goals, and how much strength you need.
