How long do dental crowns last?

With proper care, dental crowns can last from several year to forever.

Will my crowned tooth look natural?

Yes, crowns are custom-made to match the color and shape of your natural teeth.

Do I need a crown or a filling?

Crowns are typically recommended for teeth that are badly damaged or decayed, while fillings are used for smaller cavities.

How much do dental crowns cost?

The cost of a crown varies, based on the material used and the location of the tooth. They generally range from $800-$1,700 per crown.

Can I whiten my dental crown?

No, dental crowns cannot be whitened. If you want your crown to match your whitened teeth, you should whiten your teeth before getting your crown.

Severely decayed teeth that can’t be restored with fillings
Teeth weakened by large fillings
Tooth protection after a root canal
Cosmetic improvements for discolored or misshapen teeth
To support dental bridges and replace missing teeth

If you're experiencing tooth pain, sensitivity, or visible damage, a dental crown might be the best solution for you.

What to Expect: Our Dental Crown Process

Getting a dental crown at Forever Dental in Archer Heights is simple and efficient. Here’s what you can expect:

Step 1: Personalized Consultation

We begin with a comprehensive exam to assess your tooth and discuss your options. Our team will determine the best type of crown for your needs.

Step 2: Tooth Preparation

To ensure a perfect fit, we gently reshape the affected tooth and take digital impressions for precise, custom crown fabrication.

Step 3: Temporary Crown Placement

While your permanent crown is being crafted, we’ll place a temporary crown to protect your tooth and maintain function.

Step 4: Final Crown Placement

Once your custom crown is ready, we carefully secure it in place, making final adjustments to ensure a perfect, natural fit.

Step 5: Enjoy Your New Smile!

With proper care, your new crown can last 10-15 years or more, providing strength, protection, and a confident smile.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Crowns

How do I know if I need a dental crown instead of a filling?

If your tooth has extensive damage or decay that a filling can’t support, a crown is often the best option for long-term durability and protection.

Will my dental crown look natural?

Yes! Our custom crowns are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth in both shape and color, ensuring an undetectable restoration.

How long does it take to get a dental crown?

The entire process typically takes two visits—one for tooth preparation and impressions, and the second for permanent crown placement.

Can a crowned tooth get cavities?

While the crown itself won’t decay, the tooth underneath is still susceptible to cavities. Regular brushing, flossing, and dental checkups are essential to keep it healthy.

What should I do if my crown feels loose or falls out?

If your crown feels unstable or falls out, contact us immediately. Avoid chewing on the affected side and keep the crown safe until you can visit our office.

Hubby is really picky about where he goes. But he can’t wait to come back. Pretty shocking because he doesn’t really like going to the dentist. Forever dental made us feel so comfortable, from the front to the back. Highly recommended!
