Getting dental crowns near you usually requires two visits.

At the first visit, your dentist will look at your tooth to see if putting a crown on your tooth is the best option. They will then remove a small amount of the tooth surface to prepare it for a crown and make a mold of your tooth, which will be sent to a lab to make the crown. After this first visit, they will give you a temporary crown.

At your second visit, the crown will be ready. In this visit, the dentist will take off the temporary crown and check it to see if it is the correct fit for the tooth. If it fits nicely and looks good, they will cement it in your mouth.

To make them last longer, you can simply floss and brush, and visit a dentist near you to maintain the longevity of your dental crowns.

With good oral health and routine care, dental crowns can last 10 to 15 years or even longer. Some dental crowns would not last as long due to factors such as gum disease, poor oral hygiene, grinding teeth, etc., but to increase their longevity, you should avoid hard foods and implement good oral care practices.

Dental crowns near you may be appropriate if:

You have a worn-down, cracked, or weak tooth.
You just had a root canal.
You need a durable solution for a big filling.
You want your tooth to look better.
