Who Is a Candidate for Dental Crowns?

Caring for your crowns is essential to protect your investment and ensure they remain strong, beautiful, and functional for many years. Although crowns are highly durable, the natural tooth and gum tissue around them require consistent care to avoid decay or disease.

Although a tooth covered by a crown is protected against decay, the area where the crown meets the tooth and the gum line is still susceptible to disease. Furthermore, crowns can become damaged or discolored if not treated properly, requiring your Naples dentist to replace them. 

Caring for your crown properly will ensure your smile continues to look and function its best throughout the years.

  • Continue to care for your teeth by flossing and brushing daily, including the tooth covered by the crown.
  • Avoid chewing ice, popcorn kernels, or non-food items like pens. Don’t use your teeth to open packages or hold and carry items.
  • Talk to your Naples dentist about using a mouthguard if you play sports. Individuals who grind their teeth at night should also wear a night guard to protect their teeth and their crowns from damage.

What Are the Steps in Receiving a Crown?

A ceramic veneer or dental crown in Naples is a personalized treatment solution that is fitted to your dentistry needs. Whether you want to improve the appearance of your teeth or want to restore a tooth that has been affected by damage or disease, the process to create and apply your crown is the same.

  • Prior to receiving a crown, your tooth will need to be reshaped to accommodate the size and shape of the crown. The tooth will be numbed, and excess enamel will be removed before your dentist proceeds.
  • After the tooth has been shaped, your dentist will take comfortable, state-of-the-art digital impressions to ensure the crown or dental veneer is shaped properly to fit snugly over your tooth.
  • The digital impressions are then used to design and create your crown. Our specialists use CEREC technology to create your crown in the office; this process is done the same day in a single visit. Each crown is then handcrafted in detail to our doctors' highest standards.
  • Once your crown is ready, it is placed and permanently adheres to your tooth to restore the look of your smile.

FAQs Dental Crowns

How long do crowns last on teeth?

Dental crowns typically last 5 to 15 years, though with excellent oral hygiene and regular dental visits, they can often last much longer.

Is it painful to get a crown?

The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so you shouldn’t feel pain during treatment. Some mild sensitivity or discomfort may follow, but this usually subsides quickly.

Can you get tooth decay under a crown?

Yes. Decay can still develop at the crown’s margins if oral hygiene isn’t maintained. Regular brushing, flossing, and dental visits help prevent this.

How long do you have to wait to eat after getting a crown?

Once the anesthesia wears off, most patients can eat after 1 to 2 hours, starting with softer foods and avoiding extremes in temperature.

What is the difference between a crown and a veneer?

A crown covers the entire tooth, restoring strength and structure, while a veneer only covers the front surface to enhance aesthetics.

Are same-day crowns as strong as traditional crowns?

Yes. With advanced CEREC® technology, same-day crowns are crafted from high-quality ceramics, providing durability and beauty comparable to traditional crowns.

Can a dental crown be replaced if it’s damaged?

Absolutely. If a crown becomes cracked, loose, or worn, your dentist can remove and replace it to restore your tooth’s function and appearance.
