How do I know if I need a crown instead of a filling?

You may need a crown when a tooth is badly decayed, cracked, or weakened and a filling can’t safely support it. Crowns cover and protect the whole tooth, restoring strength, comfort, and appearance.

Can I really get my crown in a single visit?

Yes. At Jenkins Cosmetic and Family Dentistry, many crowns are planned, designed, and seated in one visit using digital scanning and in-office milling, so you avoid messy impressions, temporaries, and a second appointment.

Will my crown look natural and how long will it last?

Your crown is color matched and shaped to blend with nearby teeth, so it looks natural when you smile. With good home care and regular checkups, crowns often last for many years, providing reliable strength and comfort.

Will getting a crown be uncomfortable?

The procedure is done with modern numbing techniques to keep you comfortable. Most patients feel pressure rather than pain, and any mild sensitivity usually fades within a few days.

How should I care for my crown after it’s placed?

Care for a crown just like a natural tooth by brushing, flossing daily, and visiting us regularly. Avoid chewing very hard objects to help extend its lifespan.

LASTING COMFORT

What are Dental Crowns?

When damage is extensive or beyond a filling, we use conventional crowns or cast gold crowns to restore strength and appearance. This reliable approach addresses severe decay and fractures, and crowns commonly last 20-30 years.
