Things you might be wondering

If you have a deep cavity that is big for a filling, it is a time to get crown. You may additionally require a crown if your tooth is:

  • severely worn down
  • cracked
  • weakened

Crowns are also recommended following a root canal on a tooth because the tooth is weaker and needs protection.

Dental Crowns are made from many different types of materials. At Cal Dental Group, Our dentist will ask your decisions with regards to the materials used, and they will help to pick the tooth crown that matches the color and texture of your teeth correctly.

The material chosen, where the crown is placed in your mouth, how well you take care of your teeth, and your lifestyle choices all affect how long a dental crown lasts. Dental crowns have an average life of between five and fifteen years, but they can last even longer with the right upkeep and care. Cal Dental Group’s routine dental examinations are essential to prolonging the life of your crown.

The process of getting a dental crown requires two appointments. During the first visit, it involves preparing the tooth, taking impressions, and placing a temporary crown. During the second appointment, a permanent crown is installed, which usually takes place a few weeks later. Each visit may last about an hour or two.
