Dental Crown FAQs
Many patients may have these common questions about dental crowns, including:
What are the benefits of dental crowns?
Dental crowns may be used to:
- Hold fractured and cracked teeth together
- Protect teeth following a root canal
- Cap off dental implants
- Brighten deeply stained teeth
- Rebalance a bite
Because tooth crowns are made of a porcelain ceramic material, they can blend in with the appearance of the natural smile. We customize dental crowns to match your desired shape and shade.
Can I whiten my dental crown?
No, patients cannot whiten dental crowns. Crowns and other cosmetic restorations made of porcelain ceramic materials do not respond to teeth whitening treatment. However, tooth crowns can be used to cover stained and discolored teeth. If you have an old dental crown that has become discolored over time, please let us know. We can provide you with a new tooth crown.
Is the dental crown procedure painful?
No, we ensure that patients feel comfortable during the dental crown procedure. We use a local anesthetic that is applied to the treated area. After the tooth crown is in place, patients may feel mild sensitivity and discomfort. However, if patients follow a soft diet immediately after their procedure, they will soon be able to comfortably bite and chew with their crown.
