Crowns

A crown covers a tooth that's cracked, worn down or has a very large filling, so you can bite normally again.

Plain answers

The short version

  • What it is

    A custom-made cap, usually porcelain, shaped and shaded to match your other teeth. It fits over your tooth like a thimble.

  • How long it takes

    Two visits, about two weeks apart. The first takes about 90 minutes, the second about 45.

  • Does it hurt?

    We numb the tooth, so you'll feel pressure but not pain. Some people feel a little tender for a day or two afterwards.

  • What it costs

    From $1,150 without insurance. Many plans cover about half.

Questions

Crowns: your questions

Will it look like my other teeth?

Yes. We match the shade in natural light and show you before we fit it.

Do I always need a crown after a root canal?

Back teeth usually do, because they take the most pressure. We'll explain what your tooth needs and why.
