How long does it take to get a dental crown
Generally, two appointments are needed for the dental crown procedure. At the first visit, our 57701 dentists will prepare the tooth for the crown, removing decay and defective restorations. An impression is then made and sent to the lab for the fabrication of the crown. The patient will leave the office with a temporary crown securely in place. You will return approximately two weeks later for the final dental crown to be fitted and permanently secured in place.
How much does a dental crown cost?
The cost of a dental crown varies based on a number of factors such as the location, materials, and number of crowns needed. If you have dental insurance, your crown may be covered. As a courtesy, we will submit a claim with the reimbursement to be sent directly to you from the insurance company.
How long do dental crowns last?
They could last a lifetime but proper care and maintenance will ensure that your dental crown will perform at its best for many years.
Can you replace old crowns or metal fillings?
Yes, we can replace old crowns that are discolored, worn or broken, as well as old metal fillings by placing a new, porcelain dental crown on the tooth for a more esthetic restoration.

Missing teeth. Discolored teeth. Cracked teeth. Excessively decayed teeth. They all can lead to a feeling of discomfort, loss of functionality and embarrassment. If you are worried about the way your mouth looks and functions because of a missing or damaged tooth, dental crowns and bridges could be your solution. Dental crowns are one of the most widely used dental restorations, serving both restorative and cosmetic purposes. A dental crown covers the entire tooth like a cap, enhancing the appearance of discolored or misshapen teeth and strengthening a damaged tooth.
