Whenever teeth are lost or pulled, replacing these are\u00a0essential for balancing out bite forces and for preventing the remaining tooth structures from shifting out of their natural positions.

People get dental crowns for cosmetic reasons or to restore a damaged tooth to full function and health. A crown covers the upper portion of a tooth and goes completely around it.<\/p>\n<p>When you get a crown, the dentist first must prepare the tooth by removing any decay and shaping the tooth so the crown will fit. A crown usually requires two visits to the dental office, but in some cases it can be finished in one visit.<\/p>\n<p>In the case of two-visit crowns, you will usually get a temporary crown on the first visit and then return to get your permanent crown when it has been made in a laboratory.<\/p>\n<p>At the first visit, an impression of the tooth and surrounding teeth is made so that the crown will fit precisely. If you get a temporary crown, it will be fixed with temporary cement. When you get your permanent crown, the dentist will place the crown and make any adjustments to it before permanently cementing it in place.<\/p>\n<p>After getting a crown you should not feel any pain, but you may feel some sensitivity to cold, which should go away in a day or two.<\/p>\n<p>Cost estimates are specific to your situation, please call us for your specific Dental Crown costs.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-4 nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0);background-position: left top;background-repeat: no-repeat;padding-top:20px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:20px;padding-left:0px;margin-bottom: 0px;margin-top: 0px;border-width: 0px 0px 0px 0px;border-color:#eae9e9;border-style:solid;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-6 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-one-full fusion-column-first fusion-column-last fusion-column-no-min-height\" style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\" style=\"background-position:left top;background-repeat:no-repeat;-webkit-background-size:cover;-moz-background-size:cover;-o-background-size:cover;background-size:cover;padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;\"><style type=\"text\/css\"><\/style><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-4 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-two\" style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:31px;margin-left:0px;\"><h2 class=\"title-heading-left fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" style=\"margin:0;--fontSize:26;line-height:1.69;\">Dental Crowns &#8211; FAQs<\/h2><\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-7 fusion_builder_column_1_2 1_2 fusion-one-half fusion-column-first\" style=\"width:48%; margin-right: 4%;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:20px;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\" style=\"background-position:left top;background-repeat:no-repeat;-webkit-background-size:cover;-moz-background-size:cover;-o-background-size:cover;background-size:cover;padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;\"><style type=\"text\/css\">#accordion-24-1 .fusion-panel:hover{ border-color: #e0dede } #accordion-24-1 .fusion-panel { border-color:#e0dede; }.fusion-accordian  #accordion-24-1 .panel-title a .fa-fusion-box{ color: #ffffff;}.fusion-accordian  #accordion-24-1 .panel-title a .fa-fusion-box:before{ font-size: 13px; width: 13px;}.fusion-accordian  #accordion-24-1 .panel-title a{font-size:18px;color:#cc1122;font-family:\"Droid Sans\";font-weight:400;}.fusion-accordian  #accordion-24-1 .toggle-content{font-size:13px;color:#747474;font-family:\"Droid Sans\";font-weight:400;}.fusion-accordian  #accordion-24-1 .fa-fusion-box { background-color: #757575;border-color: #757575;}.fusion-accordian  #accordion-24-1 .panel-title a:not(.active):hover, #accordion-24-1 .fusion-toggle-boxed-mode:hover .panel-title a { color: #335533;}.fusion-accordian  #accordion-24-1 .panel-title .active .fa-fusion-box,.fusion-accordian  #accordion-24-1 .panel-title a:not(.active):hover .fa-fusion-box { background-color: #335533!important;border-color: #335533!important;}<\/style><div class=\"accordian fusion-accordian\"><div class=\"panel-group\" id=\"accordion-24-1\"><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-accordian  #accordion-24-1 .panel-63c404f27d395dd76 .panel-title a{}.fusion-accordian  #accordion-24-1 .panel-63c404f27d395dd76 .toggle-content{}<\/style><div class=\"fusion-panel panel-default panel-63c404f27d395dd76 fusion-toggle-no-divider\"><div class=\"panel-heading\"><h4 class=\"panel-title toggle\"><a aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"63c404f27d395dd76\" role=\"button\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-parent=\"#accordion-24-1\" data-target=\"#63c404f27d395dd76\" href=\"#63c404f27d395dd76\"><span class=\"fusion-toggle-icon-wrapper\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><i class=\"fa-fusion-box active-icon awb-icon-plus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><i class=\"fa-fusion-box inactive-icon awb-icon-minus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span><span class=\"fusion-toggle-heading\">Can a root canal be done through a crown?<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div><div id=\"63c404f27d395dd76\" class=\"panel-collapse collapse \"><div class=\"panel-body toggle-content fusion-clearfix\">Provided that a crown is firmly in place, a root canal can be performed through a crown.

A metal crown is the strongest choice but has the least amount of cosmetic consideration since they are entirely gold or silver finish. Porcelain crowns are used when cosmetic appeal is the foremost concern. Porcelain crowns will have a natural-looking finish but are the least durable option.

A porcelain crown looks the most natural but most patients will need to have the crown replaced at least once over their lifetime.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-5 hundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0);background-position: center center;background-repeat: no-repeat;padding-top:0px;padding-right:20px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:20px;margin-bottom: 10px;margin-top: 10px;border-width: 0px 0px 0px 0px;border-color:#eae9e9;border-style:solid;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-9 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-one-full fusion-column-first fusion-column-last fusion-column-no-min-height\" style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\" style=\"background-position:left top;background-repeat:no-repeat;-webkit-background-size:cover;-moz-background-size:cover;-o-background-size:cover;background-size:cover;padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;\"><div class=\"fusion-sep-clear\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;width:100%;\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-sep-clear\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-fullwidth.fusion-builder-row-5 { overflow:visible;
