What Is a
Dental Crown?
A dental crown is a custom-made “cap” placed over a tooth that has been weakened, cracked, or damaged. It helps restore the tooth’s strength, shape, and appearance while protecting it from further damage. Crowns are used in both cosmetic dentistry and restorative treatments, and are especially helpful after root canals or for covering large fillings.
At The Smile Studio, we provide porcelain dental crowns due to their durability and natural appearance. They’re color-matched to blend seamlessly with the rest of your smile.
How Do I Know If I Need a Dental Crown?
There are several reasons Dr. Burnham might recommend a tooth crown:
- Large cavities or broken teeth
- After a root canal treatment
- Severely worn-down or weakened teeth
- For cosmetic enhancement or reshaping
- To replace large, failing fillings
Every patient is different. That’s why we take the time to perform a thorough exam and discuss your needs before creating a customized treatment plan.
What Are the Benefits of Porcelain Dental Crowns?
Porcelain crowns are one of the most popular solutions for restoring or enhancing a tooth. They offer:
- A natural-looking, tooth-colored finish
- Long-lasting durability with proper care
- A biocompatible material that’s gentle on surrounding tissue
- Resistance to stains from food and drink
- A custom fit that feels comfortable and looks seamless
Tooth caps are ideal for patients who want both strength and aesthetics in their restoration.
What Is the Dental Crown Procedure Like?
The process of getting a tooth crown typically includes:
- A consultation with Dr. Burnham and digital imaging
- Gentle tooth preparation and placement of a temporary crown
- Fabrication of your custom crown in a trusted dental lab
- A final fitting and secure placement of your permanent crown
Throughout your visit, our team prioritizes your comfort. We offer nitrous oxide, cozy blankets, noise-canceling headphones, and in-room TVs to help you relax.
Can I Eat Normally After Getting a Crown?
Yes—but with a few precautions during the healing period.
- With a temporary crown, avoid sticky or hard foods
- Once the permanent crown is bonded, you can return to your normal diet
- In some cases, minor bite adjustments may be needed to ensure full comfort
Dr. Burnham will provide personalized post-care instructions so you feel confident as you return to daily life.
How Long Do Tooth Crowns Last?
Most dental crowns last 10 to 15 years, but with excellent care, they can last even longer. Their longevity depends on several factors:
- Daily oral hygiene
- Whether you grind or clench your teeth
- Your diet and lifestyle
- Regular dental visits for professional care
How to Care for Your
Dental Crown
Keeping your tooth crown in good condition is simple with the right habits:
- Brush and floss thoroughly around the crown every day
- Avoid chewing on ice, pens, or very hard foods
- Use a nightguard if you grind your teeth while sleeping
- Keep up with regular dental exams and cleanings
Our team will monitor your crown during checkups and address any early signs of wear or issues.
What Is the Cost of a Dental Crown?
The cost of a porcelain crown depends on several factors, including:
- The material used
- The tooth’s location
- Insurance benefits and out-of-pocket coverage
At The Smile Studio, we offer flexible payment options and will help you navigate your insurance. Investing in a crown means restoring both the appearance and function of your tooth—an essential step for your overall oral health.
