Dental Crowns

Fillings aren’t always the best solution for damaged teeth. A dental crown is an effective alternative that addresses decay, cracks, and other common concerns for a healthier smile. Bentz Dental Group is proud to offer dental crowns in East Norriton, Pennsylvania.

What Are Dental Crowns?

Dental crowns are restorations that cap the visible portion of a compromised tooth. They help protect the tooth from further damage while improving its appearance, function, and strength. Tooth crowns are custom-made from durable materials such as porcelain and bonded in place.

Why Would I Need a Dental Crown?

Our dentists might recommend a dental crown for several reasons, including to:

  • Restore a broken or cracked tooth
  • Reinforce a tooth after a root canal
  • Treat a large cavity
  • Conceal tooth discoloration
  • Anchor a dental bridge
  • Cap a dental implant

We understand that no one likes to hear that they need dental work. However, if you wait too long to get a dental crown, the problem will likely get worse and become more expensive to fix. Crowns are a reliable way to address common dental concerns and restore optimal oral health.

What is the difference between commercial crowns & same-day crowns?

Here at Bentz Dental Group we have a commercial lab on the premises. By utilizing a commercial lab, we are able to offer custom-made crowns from specially trained technicians. This allows us to have full control over the crowns from the design to the finish. Our dentists oversee the entire process which leads to better results for our patients.

Is It Painful To Have a Crown Put on Your Tooth?

We want to assure you that your comfort is always our top priority. We use a variety of techniques to make your dental visit as pleasant as possible. Before placing crowns, we numb the tooth and the surrounding gum tissue, so you shouldn’t feel any pain during the procedure. Sedation dentistry is also available to help anxious patients relax and get the care they need.

How Long Do Dental Crowns Last?

The average lifespan of a dental crown is between 10-15 years. Of course, factors such as the material used to fabricate the crown and the technique used to cement it in place will play a role. Fortunately, dental crowns don’t require much maintenance beyond a good oral hygiene routine.

Here are some steps you can take to help extend the life of your crown:

  • Brush and floss every day
  • Use a night guard if you grind your teeth
  • Avoid bad habits like chewing ice or your nails
  • Schedule regular dental checkups
