Crowns Q&A

What is a dental crown?

A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap placed over a damaged or weakened tooth to restore its shape, strength, and appearance. Crowns can be made from porcelain, ceramic, or metal, and are custom-made to match the color of your natural teeth. They are often used after root canals, large fillings, or when a tooth is cracked or worn down.

Is getting a crown painful?

The crown procedure is typically not painful. Local anesthesia is used to numb the area, making the process comfortable. Some patients may feel slight sensitivity or soreness after the procedure, but this usually goes away within a few days. Your dentist will ensure you feel at ease every step of the way.

How long do dental crowns last?

With proper care, dental crowns can last between 10 to 15 years—or even longer. Maintaining good oral hygiene, avoiding hard foods, and attending regular dental checkups can help prolong the life of your crown.

How do I know if I need a crown?

If you have a tooth that’s cracked, worn down, or has a large filling, a crown may be recommended to prevent further damage. Crowns are also used to support dental bridges or cover dental implants. A dental exam and X-rays at Arlington Dental Care will help determine if a crown is the best solution for your smile.

The Proof is in Our Patients

Absolutely amazing experience at Arlington Dental Care! I came in for a cleaning and ended up getting started on Invisalign. The staff made me feel completely at ease, explained every step, and were super friendly. My teeth already feel and look better. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for quality care and a modern office!

Had to get a crown replaced and was honestly dreading it, but the doctor and his team were fantastic. Everything was quick, painless, and very professionally done. The new crown looks and feels perfect. This is definitely my go-to dental office now.

I brought my 7-year-old son in for a checkup and cleaning and was so impressed with how patient and kind everyone was with him. The pediatric dentist took her time and even made it fun. My son actually asked when he could come back! That says a lot.

Went in for a root canal and left with my faith in dentistry restored. The procedure was way easier than I expected, and the staff walked me through everything beforehand. Super clean office, calming atmosphere, and very skilled professionals. Thanks again!

I recently got All-on-4 implants here after struggling with dentures for years. The transformation is incredible — I can finally smile and eat with confidence again. The team was compassionate, knowledgeable, and truly cared about my comfort every step of the way.

Had to get my wisdom teeth removed and was terrified going in. But honestly, it went smoother than I ever imagined. The doctor was fantastic — quick, gentle, and very reassuring. Barely had any swelling. Can’t thank them enough!
