Dental Crowns Frequently Asked Questions:

What are Dental Crowns?

Dental crowns (caps) are a type of dental restoration used to protect, restore, or enhance the appearance of your teeth. Unlike an inlay or onlay, crowns completely cover a tooth or dental implant providing strength and hardness. Crowns are useful for teeth with implants, posts, bolts, or root canals.

Teeth Crowns give certain damaged teeth a “new lease on life.”

What are the benefits of Dental Crowns?

Teeth Crowns give certain damaged teeth a “new lease on life”, i.e., in the past teeth that were severely degraded by cavities, fractures, or injury may have needed to be extracted, allowing a tooth to function normally again.

What is the procedure for Dental Crowns?

For this treatment, the tooth is carefully prepared: our Lima cosmetic dentist will take the color of each zone of your tooth as compared with adjacent teeth (as is done for porcelain veneers). Then a matching dental crown will be created at our laboratory, where a perfectly matched and measured crown is created using computerized digital technology. This treatment can be completed in as few as two appointments over two days.

How long do Teeth Crowns last?

What are the costs?
