Completing the placement of a dental crown at Kasperowski Family Dentistry takes about two weeks.

Initial Exam

One of our friendly dentists will review your state of oral health and inspect your tooth to determine the best treatment solution for your individual needs.

Treatment and Tooth Preparation

Following treatment, which may include root canal therapy, your dentist will reshape and resize your tooth to create a stable base for your new crown.

Digital Impressions

Using an advanced intraoral camera, your dentist will take detailed digital impressions of your smile. This allows you to avoid the mess of traditional impression putty and provides our dental laboratory the information they need to create a permanent crown that will fit perfectly in your smile.

Temporary Crown

A temporary crown will be placed over your prepared tooth to protect it while your permanent restoration is being made. It is important to avoid sticky and hard foods during this time to avoid dislodging your temporary crown.

Fabrication

It takes a week for our dental lab to fabricate your permanent crown. A skilled ceramicist will apply hand-finishing details to color-match your new crown to your surrounding teeth.

Crown Placement

Once your new crown is ready, you will return to our Westfield dental practice to have your temporary crown replaced with the final restoration. Your dentist will test fit your new crown to ensure it fits comfortably. Any necessary adjustments can be made to achieve a good fit and optimal bite. Once you and your dentist are happy, your new crown will be secured in place with dental cement.

Restored Smile

You will leave our office with a fully restored smile. While no downtime is required, you may experience mild sensitivity in the treatment area that should resolve itself in a few days.

Dental Crowns FAQs

What can I do to preserve my crown?

To ensure you enjoy the best results from your new crown, you must maintain good oral hygiene by brushing your teeth twice and flossing once a day. Be mindful to avoid chewing hard or sticky foods with your crown to avoid damaging the restoration. Regular checkups at our Westfield dental practice will allow our doctors to ensure your crown is in good condition.

How much does a crown cost?

Every case is different, and the cost can vary depending on the amount of treatment needed before placing your permanent crown. The type of materials selected, whether you are replacing a lost tooth with an implant-supported crown, or if you need a root canal can all affect the overall cost of dental crown treatment. Fortunately, most insurance plans cover at least part of the cost of a dental crown.
