Understanding Dental Crowns
Dental crowns are custom-made caps designed to cover and protect damaged or decayed teeth. These versatile restorations are crafted to match the shape, size, and color of your natural teeth, seamlessly blending with your smile.
Crowns not only restore the appearance of your teeth but also reinforce their structure, preventing further damage and preserving your oral health. Whether you have a large filling, a cracked tooth, or have undergone root canal therapy, a dental crown can provide the protection and stability your tooth needs.

Comprehensive Examination
Your journey to a restored smile begins with a thorough examination at Frontier Family Dental. During this visit, we’ll assess your oral health, discuss your concerns, and determine if a dental crown is the best solution for you.
We use advanced diagnostic tools to evaluate the condition of your tooth and surrounding structures, ensuring we have a complete picture of your dental needs.
Custom Crown Design
Based on the examination results, we create a personalized treatment plan for your dental crown. Using state-of-the-art digital imaging technology, we design a crown that fits perfectly and complements your natural teeth. This custom approach ensures optimal function and aesthetics, tailored to your unique smile.
Tooth Preparation and Temporary Crown
In this step, we carefully prepare your tooth to accommodate the crown. We remove any decay, shape the tooth, and take precise impressions. A temporary crown is placed to protect your tooth while your custom permanent crown is being crafted in our trusted dental laboratory. This ensures your comfort and functionality during the fabrication period.
Final Crown Placement
Once your permanent crown is ready, you’ll return for the placement appointment. We’ll remove the temporary crown and carefully fit your new custom crown. Our experienced dentists meticulously adjust and polish the crown to ensure a perfect fit, optimal bite alignment, and seamless integration with your natural teeth.
Post-Treatment Care and Check-up
After your crown is placed, we provide detailed instructions on how to care for your new restoration. We schedule a follow-up appointment to check the crown’s fit and your overall comfort. This visit allows us to make any necessary adjustments and ensures you’re completely satisfied with your new smile.

FAQs About Dental Crowns
How long do dental crowns last?
At Frontier Family Dental, we’ve seen well-maintained dental crowns last 15 years or more. The longevity of your crown depends on several factors, including your oral hygiene routine, diet, and habits like teeth grinding. We’ll work with you to develop a personalized care plan that maximizes the lifespan of your crown. Remember, regular check-ups allow us to monitor your crown’s condition and address any issues early.
What does a dental crown look like?
Our dental crowns are true chameleons of dentistry. We custom-craft each crown to match your natural teeth in color, shape, and size. Using advanced materials like porcelain and ceramic, we create crowns that capture the subtle translucency and sheen of natural enamel. Many of our patients are pleasantly surprised when they can’t distinguish their crowned tooth from their natural ones, even when looking closely in the mirror.
Can you put a dental bridge after a crown?
Yes, in many cases, a crowned tooth can serve as an anchor for a dental bridge. However, this depends on the specific condition of your crowned tooth and its surrounding structures. At Frontier Family Dental, we’ll conduct a thorough examination to determine if your crowned tooth is suitable to support a bridge. If it is, we’ll design a custom solution that ensures both your crown and new bridge work harmoniously to restore your smile’s function and appearance.
How long does a dental crown take?
We’ve streamlined our dental crown process to respect your time while ensuring top-quality results. Typically, you’ll visit us twice over a two-week period. Your first appointment, lasting about 90 minutes, involves preparing your tooth and fitting a temporary crown. We then craft your permanent crown, a process that usually takes about two weeks. Your second visit for the permanent crown placement is typically shorter, around 45 minutes. Throughout this process, we ensure you’re comfortable and fully informed about each step.
What are dental crowns made of?
At Frontier Family Dental, we offer a range of high-quality materials for dental crowns, each with unique benefits. Our most popular options are all-ceramic and porcelain crowns, prized for their natural appearance and durability. For back teeth that endure more biting force, we might recommend zirconia or porcelain-fused-to-metal for added strength. We’ll discuss the pros and cons of each material as they relate to your specific needs, considering factors like the tooth’s location, your bite force, and your aesthetic preferences to find the perfect match for your smile.
