What Is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown is a custom-made cap that fits over a tooth to restore its shape, strength, and appearance. Once bonded in place, the crown covers the entire visible tooth, protecting what remains and letting you bite and chew comfortably again. Dr. Hanna crafts crowns that blend in naturally with the teeth around them.
WHEN YOU NEED ONE
When You Might Need a Crown
A crown is one of the most versatile restorations in dentistry. Dr. Hanna may recommend one to:
- Protect a tooth weakened by a large filling or decay
- Restore a cracked, broken, or worn-down tooth
- Cover and support a tooth after root canal therapy
- Complete a dental implant
- Improve the look of a misshapen or discolored tooth
MATERIALS & PROCESS
Your Crown, Made to Fit
We offer several crown materials, including tooth-colored porcelain and ceramic for a seamless look, plus strong options for back teeth that handle the most force. Getting a crown usually takes two visits: we gently prepare the tooth and place a temporary crown, then bond your custom crown at the second visit. Sedation options are available for anxious patients.
How Long Do Crowns Last?
With good care, a dental crown can last many years. For tips on getting the most life from your restoration, read our guide on how long a dental crown lasts and how to extend it. Crowns are one part of our full range of restorative dentistry services.
Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Crowns
How long do dental crowns last?
A well-made crown typically lasts 10 to 15 years, and often longer with good oral hygiene. Its lifespan depends on the material, where the crown sits in the mouth, and habits like grinding.
Does getting a crown hurt?
The procedure is done with local anesthetic, so most patients feel little to no discomfort. Any mild sensitivity afterward usually fades within a few days, and sedation is available if you feel anxious.
How many visits does a crown take?
Most crowns take two visits: one to prepare the tooth and place a temporary crown, and a second to bond the final custom crown into place.
