Dental Crown FAQs

Read answers to common questions that many of our patients have about dental crowns:

Am I a candidate for dental crown treatment?

Most patients are good candidates for dental crown treatment. Patients who are in good oral health but require dental implants or treatment for injured and weakened teeth are good candidates for dental crowns. Dr. Harper can also provide dental infection treatments if required before recommending dental crowns.

Do dental crowns damage natural teeth?

No, dental crowns can be used to address tooth damage. Before patients receive one or more crowns, we prepare the teeth by removing a small portion of the tooth enamel. Etching into the enamel ensures that the crown can easily cover the tooth’s surface. This does not cause major damage to the tooth enamel.

How long do dental crowns last?

Dental crowns can last patients up to 30 years if they are cared for properly. Patients should gently brush their dental crowns and floss between them like natural teeth.

Do dental crowns look natural?

Yes, because our tooth crowns are made of porcelain ceramic, they easily blend in with the shade of natural teeth. Crowns are also fabricated to match the shape and size of teeth. Patients do not have to worry about their restoration looking out of place.
