Dental crowns are designed to fit tightly over a damaged or decayed tooth to provide support and stability. To ensure the crown fits comfortably and securely, your dentist will likely remove some enamel and shape your tooth before securing it in place. Some common reasons you might need a dental crown include the following:
Crowns can be made of various materials, including metal, zirconia/ceramic crowns, or a mixture of the two. Depending on where the crown is located, your aesthetic goals, and whether it is a permanent or temporary crown, your dentist will recommend the best material to fit your needs.
Zirconia/ceramic crowns are the most popular style of dental crown as they closely match the color and look of a natural tooth. They are often used to restore teeth at the front of the mouth to create a seamless blend as this area is more visible. However, porcelain crowns can be more expensive and aren’t as strong as alternative materials like metal.
On average, most dental crowns last between ten and fifteen years with proper dental care. If you have any questions, your dentist can be invaluable in explaining the various crown options available and helping you decide on the treatment plan that best meets your dental and aesthetic goals.
At the start of your appointment, your dentist will prepare your tooth by removing a small amount of enamel and shaping the surface to ensure a secure and comfortable fit. Then, digital scans of your tooth will be taken to create a precise 3D model for your crown design.
Once the design is complete, your custom crown will be fabricated in-office using durable ceramic material, often within an hour. While your crown is being created, you can relax in the office without needing a temporary crown.
After the crown is ready, your dentist will check its fit, appearance, and alignment with your bite. Any minor adjustments are made on the spot. Once everything is perfect, the crown is bonded to your tooth using strong dental cement to ensure lasting results.
At Beechnut Dental Care, the cost of dental crowns ranges from $950 to $1,500. This variation depends on factors such as the material used, the complexity of the procedure, and any additional treatments that may be required. Porcelain and zirconia crowns, for example, may have higher price points due to their durability and lifelike appearance. We strive to keep our pricing transparent so you can make informed decisions about your dental care without unexpected costs.
