I’m Not Royalty, So Why Would I Need A Dental Crown?

You may need a dental crown or tooth crown if you have a broken tooth needing support to hold it together, to cover a large filling, as part of a dental bridge, or if you have extreme tooth wear due to grinding.


A dental crown is also used to cover a dental implant or after a root canal treatment. Dental crowns can also be used as part of a cosmetic dentistry treatment to improve your smile and your confidence.


This procedure will save your old tooth, which prevents the deterioration of the jawbone and jaw line that brings problems as you age.

What Is A Crown?

A dental crown is used to encase your existing visible tooth like a cap and restore it to its original shape, size, and appearance.


There are many different types of crowns, but porcelain tends to be the most popular due to its high durability and aesthetic appeal. 


The Benefits of Porcelain Crowns

Porcelain Crowns serve many functions in dental restoration, including:

  1. Protecting a tooth that has been weakened by decay from breaking or cracking.
  2. Restoring a tooth that has been broken or worn down.
  3. Supporting a tooth that has been weakened by a large filling.
  4. Providing support for a dental bridge.
  5. Used as a replacement tooth to cover a dental implant.
  6. Improving the appearance of misshapen or discolored teeth.

 Richmond VA Dental Crown or Tooth Crown FAQs

  • Is the process of getting a dental crown painful, and how long does it take?

    The process of getting a dental crown is typically not painful. Your dentist will administer local anesthesia to numb the area before preparing the tooth and taking impressions. You may experience some discomfort during recovery, but it can be managed with over-the-counter pain medications. The entire process usually takes two dental visits, spanning a couple of weeks.

  • How long do dental crowns typically last, and what can I do to extend their lifespan?

    Dental crowns can last on average 10 to 15 years or even longer with proper care. To extend their lifespan, it's essential to maintain good oral hygiene, avoid habits like teeth grinding or chewing on hard objects, and visit your dentist regularly for check-ups.

  • Can a dental crown be used to improve the appearance of a tooth that's not damaged?

    Yes, dental crowns can be used for cosmetic purposes as well. They can enhance the appearance of discolored, misshapen, or poorly aligned teeth, helping to create a more aesthetically pleasing smile.
