If you have any questions about dental crowns, we’ve got answers.
On average, a well-maintained dental crown lasts at least 10-15 years. However, it’s not unheard of to have crowns last 20 years or more with good home care.
As your tooth’s nerve responds to the enamel being reshaped during the crown preparation phase, it’s natural to experience some heightened sensitivity. Symptoms tend to be temporary, improving in a matter of days or weeks after your permanent crown is placed. If sensitivity persists, our San Juan Capistrano dentist may need to make adjustments to the way your crown bites against the opposing teeth.
Getting a dental crown is just as comfortable as having a routine dental filling. To ensure a gentle process, we use numbing medications that desensitize your tooth before making any adjustments. Sedation is also available upon request. Some minor soreness at the injection site or in your jaw is to be expected.
Temporary dental crowns are worn after the preparation appointment before your permanent crown is placed. These crowns may come off if you chew sticky food or floss around them. However, permanent crowns are securely fixed to your tooth and are safe to floss (but we do recommend avoiding sticky foods.) The only reason why a permanent crown may fall of is usually because of recurring decay around the tooth.
The fee for a dental crown can vary significantly, depending on the type of materials being used and how many crowns you need, or if a tooth requires a build-up beforehand. Additionally, factors like insurance benefits can reduce the price of your new “cap.” Depending on your situation, the average fee can range between $500 to $2000 per tooth. To ensure clear pricing on all treatments, San Juan Family Dentistry provides detailed treatment plans that outline all fees, estimated insurance benefits, and optional financing plans to every patient.
Dental crowns are extremely durable, but they require good oral hygiene to ensure they last as long as possible. Always plan to brush around your crown twice a day, and be sure to floss around the crown daily. Flossing will not remove a permanent crown. However, not flossing a crown could allow bacteria to accumulate around the margins of your restoration, leading to recurring tooth decay, gum disease and bone loss, and crown failure. Be sure to plan a checkup and cleaning at San Juan Family Dentistry at least twice a year to have your dental work evaluated.
