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.

New owner and these people really care! I've been dealing with this location for 4 years. I previously gave a 1 star review, but after today's visit changing to a 5. They honored my warranty and gave me no issues! FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER they denture fit correctly the first go around! They made it super stressful free and actually listened to me! Not rushed out or unheard like before! Keep up the good work guys!

I have found Alexis Nickel to be very knowledgeable about the whole business. She is kind, patient,and senceable. She helps to calm your nerves and makes one feel at ease.

Kaylee is the best! I always tell her I’m so nervous to come to the dentist but she answers all my questions and makes me feel less anxious about it. And she does a great job at cleaning. 10/10 would recommend her. No notes.
