How do dental crowns work?

A dental crown is a cap placed over a tooth to protect it. It helps fix teeth that are weak, broken or misshapen. Your Aspen Dental dentist shapes the tooth, takes a mold and then places the crown on top. The crown looks and works like a real tooth.

How long do dental crowns last?

Dental crowns can last up to 15 years. They last longer when you brush, floss and visit your dentist often. Chewing on hard foods can wear them down. If the crown gets damaged, your dentist may be able to replace it.

Can I whiten my teeth if I have crowns?

Crowns don’t respond to whitening treatments, so their color remains the same. If you whiten your natural teeth, your crown may no longer blend in. For the best color match, it’s usually recommended to whiten your teeth before getting a crown.

Can I eat normally with a dental crown?

Yes, you can eat normally once the crown is set in place. At first, it’s a good idea to chew on the other side of your mouth. Try to avoid sticky or hard foods that might loosen the crown.

Do dental crowns require special care?

Dental crowns don’t need special care, but you still need to brush and floss every day. Regular dental visits help keep the crown and your other teeth healthy. Avoid grinding your teeth and ask your Aspen Dental dentist if a night guard might help.

I truly love coming here- and that’s saying a lot for a dentist. Dr. Kaur is a kind and smiley dentist, and she listens and explains everything beforehand, even when it takes a long time for me to understand and be comfortable. RDA Val is fast at x-rays, careful every time she needs to do something in my mouth and with my teeth, she’s funny and comforting, and she and Dr. Kaur work with perfect harmony and precision. Ayanna, the office lead is extremely friendly and calming even when I know I’m about to have a procedure or about to spend a good amount of money. Ayanna, and the other receptionists and other staff take the time to help me understand what I am paying for and how to create a payment plan to get my work done as soon as I can. This is where you want to be. I’ve even been late and cancelled without notice and they are still kind to me because they know that I have so much anxiety and I work nights 60-80 hrs a week. If you need work done with the least amount of mental, physical and financial pain, come here.

Very Professional.
