What are Dental Crowns?
A dental crown is a custom-made restoration that fits over a damaged or weakened tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Crowns can be used to protect and save teeth that have been weakened by decay, large fillings, cracks, or other damage.
​
Dental crowns can also be used to restore teeth following root canal treatment or to complete a dental implant. Each crown is carefully designed to provide a comfortable fit and a natural-looking appearance.
Understanding the Procedure
Getting a dental crown typically begins with a thorough examination of your tooth. Dr. Bishop will evaluate your tooth and may take X-rays or impressions to determine the best treatment option for your needs.
​
During your first appointment, the tooth will be carefully prepared to make room for the crown. Local anesthesia is used to help keep you comfortable throughout the procedure. Once the tooth has been prepared, Dr. Bishop will take impressions or digital scans that are used to create your custom crown.
​
A temporary crown will be placed on the affected tooth while your permanent crown is being made, which usually takes about 7-10 business days. At your final appointment, Dr. Bishop will carefully place your permanent crown and make any necessary adjustments to ensure a comfortable fit and natural appearance.
​
With proper care, your dental crown can provide long-lasting protection and help you enjoy a healthy smile for many years to come.

Frequently Asked Questions About Crowns
Getting a dental crown is generally comfortable. Local anesthesia is used during the tooth preparation process to help prevent pain or discomfort. Some sensitivity or mild discomfort may occur after the procedure, but this typically improves as your tooth adjusts to the new crown.
​
If you experience dental anxiety, we offer nitrous oxide sedation to help you feel relaxed and comfortable throughout your dental crown procedure.
Dental crowns can last for many years with proper care. Brushing and flossing regularly, avoiding damaging habits, and visiting Dental Dimensions for routine check-ups and cleanings can help extend the life of your crown.
Yes! Once your permanent crown has been placed and you have adjusted to it, you should be able to eat and drink normally. It’s still important to avoid biting down on extremely hard objects or using your teeth as tools, as these habits can damage your crown or natural teeth.
Caring for a dental crown is pretty much the same as caring for your natural teeth. Brush twice a day, floss daily, and visit Dr. Bishop at Dental Dimensions for regular dental exams and cleanings. Good oral hygiene helps protect both your crown and the natural tooth underneath it.
