Frequently Asked Questions
What Are Dental Crowns Made Of?
Dental crowns can be made from a variety of materials including porcelain, ceramic, metal or zirconia. Each type offers different benefits in strength, appearance and durability. Our team will recommend the best option based on your tooth and smile goals.
How Long Do Dental Crowns Last?
With proper care, dental crowns can last 10 to 15 years or even longer. Regular brushing, flossing and routine check-ups help maintain their longevity. Avoiding excessive biting or grinding can also protect your crown.
Are There Any Disadvantages of Dental Crowns?
While dental crowns are highly effective, they may sometimes cause sensitivity initially. They also require removing some of the natural tooth structure. However, these drawbacks are minimal compared to the protection and functionality they provide.
How Are Dental Crowns Different To Implants?
Crowns are placed over existing teeth to restore them, while implants replace a missing tooth entirely. Implants require a surgical procedure, whereas crowns are less invasive. Both options can improve function and aesthetics, depending on your needs.
Can I Get A Same Day Appointment At The Perio Centre?
We aim to accommodate urgent cases whenever possible. Contact our friendly team to see if a same day appointment is available. We will do our utmost best to fit you in promptly.
Is Dental Crowning Painful?
Most patients experience minimal discomfort, as local anaesthetic is used during the procedure. Some sensitivity afterwards is normal, but it usually subsides within a few days. Our team ensures your experience is as comfortable as possible.
Can You Get A Temporary Dental Crown?
Yes, temporary crowns are often placed while your permanent crown is being made. They protect your tooth, maintain bite alignment and allow you to eat and speak comfortably.
How Long Does It Take To Fit A Dental Crown?
Fitting a dental crown typically takes 1 to 2 visits. The first appointment involves preparation and impressions, while the second places the permanent crown.
Are There Any Alternatives To Dental Crowns?
Depending on your tooth’s condition, alternatives may include veneers, onlays or fillings. Our team will discuss the best solution to restore both function and appearance. Crowns are usually recommended for stronger and longer-lasting results.
Is Treatment Covered By Insurance?
Coverage for dental crowns varies between insurance providers and plans. It is best to check with your provider to understand what portion of the treatment may be covered. Our team can also help guide you through any insurance queries.
