What Are Dental Crowns?

Dental crowns, also known as tooth caps, are custom coverings placed over damaged teeth to restore the look and function of your smile. They’re often used to repair decayed teeth or placed on top of a dental implant. A dental crown covers the entire tooth, preventing further damage and blending in naturally with your surrounding teeth. 

The Benefits of Dental Crowns

Patients may experience the following benefits after receiving a dental crown:

  • Protect weak teeth from breaking or decaying
  • Repair broken, chipped, or cracked teeth
  • Support a tooth with a large filling
  • Mask discoloration
  • Remedy a misshapen tooth
  • Finalize a dental implant or hold a dental bridge in place
  • Improve eating and speaking abilities

The Dental Crown Process

During your consultation, Dr. Kosinski will examine your teeth to help you determine the best option for your smile. The process of crowning a tooth will typically take two to three visits. Dr. Kosinski will prepare your tooth by shaping it to fit your new crown. A local anesthetic will be used to ensure a painless experience, and in cases where there isn’t enough tooth for the procedure, a tooth-colored filling may be needed. 

Dr. Kosinski will then take a digital impression of your mouth, which will be sent to a professional laboratory. It typically takes a couple of weeks for the crown to be created — however, Dr. Kosinski will provide you with a temporary restoration until your permanent crown is ready. When it arrives, he’ll attach your new crown to your tooth with dental glue and solidify it with a special light.

How long do dental bridges last?
Are dental crowns covered by insurance?
Yes, dental crowns may be covered by insurance when deemed necessary. If receiving a dental crown is for cosmetic purposes only, then your insurance may not cover it as it’s an elective treatment.
How long do dental crowns last?
On average, dental crowns last up to 15 years with proper care. However, in certain cases, dental crowns may last up to 25 years. To increase the longevity of your dental crown, it’s recommended that you brush your teeth twice a day, floss daily, and visit your dentist once every six months for routine dental cleanings and exams. 
Are dental bridges covered by insurance?
Yes, dental bridges are typically covered by insurance. Depending on coverage details, individuals should expect a portion of the costs to be covered as long as the procedure is deemed medically necessary.
How long do dental bridges last?
Dental bridges can last up to 10 years or more when properly cared for. To increase the longevity of a dental bridge, it’s recommended that you brush your teeth twice a day with a soft-bristled toothbrush, floss daily, and visit your dentist every six months for regular dental cleanings and exams.
