What materials are used for dental crowns?

Dental crowns are made from various materials, including porcelain, ceramic, metal, and zirconia, each offering unique benefits.

How is a dental crown applied?

The process typically involves shaping the damaged tooth, taking an impression, and fitting a custom-made crown to restore functionality and appearance.

Are dental crowns permanent?

While dental crowns are long-lasting, they may need replacement after 10 to 15 years depending on wear and care.

Can crowns be whitened?

No, dental crowns cannot be whitened. It is important to choose the right shade when they are created.

What should I do if my crown feels loose?

If your crown feels loose, contact your dentist immediately to avoid damage or further complications.

Do I really need a crown or can I just get a filling?

If the damage is too large for a filling to hold, a crown is the only way to save the tooth.

How long does a dental crown last?

Typically 10–15 years, sometimes much longer with good care.

Does getting a crown hurt?

The procedure itself is painless — some sensitivity afterward is normal and temporary.

Why did my dentist recommend a crown?

Usually because the tooth is cracked, heavily decayed, or weakened after a root canal.

Can a crowned tooth still get a cavity?

The crown itself can't decay, but the tooth underneath it can if hygiene is poor.

How much does a dental crown cost?

It depends on the material and your case — your dentist will give you a full breakdown.
