With proper care, dental crowns typically last 10 to 15 years, and many last significantly longer. Longevity depends on the crown material, your oral hygiene habits, and whether you grind or clench your teeth. Metal and gold crowns tend to last the longest, while porcelain crowns may need replacement sooner if subjected to heavy chewing forces. Regular dental checkups help us monitor your crowns and catch any issues early.
No. The tooth is numbed with local anesthesia before any work begins, so you should not feel pain during the procedure. Some patients experience mild sensitivity or soreness around the treated tooth for a few days after the appointment, which typically resolves on its own. Our team prioritizes your comfort and takes extra time to make sure you feel at ease throughout the process.
Yes. Porcelain and zirconia crowns are specifically designed to match the color, shape, and translucency of your natural teeth, making them excellent options for front tooth restorations. Our team custom-matches the crown to your surrounding teeth so the result looks seamless. Many patients are surprised at how natural a front tooth crown can look with today's materials.
Contact our office as soon as possible to schedule a re-cementation appointment. In the meantime, you can temporarily place the crown back over the tooth using over-the-counter dental cement or denture adhesive. Avoid chewing on that side and keep the area clean. Do not use superglue. Our team will evaluate the crown and the underlying tooth to determine whether it can be recemented or needs to be replaced.
