What is dental crown placement?

A dental crown is a custom-made cap that completely covers a damaged, decayed, or weakened tooth above the gumline. Crowns restore the tooth's shape, size, strength, and appearance. They're made from materials including porcelain, ceramic, zirconia, metal alloys, or a combination (porcelain-fused-to-metal).

What to expect during dental crown placement

Getting a crown typically takes two visits. First visit: the dentist numbs the tooth, removes any decay, shapes the tooth to accommodate the crown, takes digital or physical impressions, and places a temporary crown. Second visit (1–2 weeks later): the temporary is removed, the permanent crown is checked for fit and color, then cemented into place. Some practices offer same-day CEREC crowns milled in-office in a single visit.

Frequently asked questions about dental crown placement

How much does a dental crown cost?
Crowns range from $800–$2,500 per tooth depending on the material: porcelain-fused-to-metal ($800–$1,200), all-ceramic/zirconia ($1,000–$2,500), gold alloy ($1,200–$2,000). Most dental insurance covers 50% of major procedures like crowns up to an annual maximum. Same-day CEREC crowns may cost slightly more.
How long do dental crowns last?
With good care, crowns can last 10–15 years or longer. Porcelain and ceramic crowns may show wear at the edges over time. Gold and zirconia crowns are the most durable. Factors affecting longevity: oral hygiene, avoiding hard foods/ice, not grinding your teeth (a nightguard helps), and regular dental checkups.
Does getting a crown hurt?
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so you should feel no pain during tooth preparation. Some mild sensitivity or gum soreness around the crowned tooth for a few days afterward is normal and manageable with over-the-counter pain relievers.
What's the difference between a crown and a filling?
A filling repairs a small to moderate area of decay within the tooth's natural structure. A crown covers the entire visible portion of the tooth above the gumline. Crowns are needed when there isn't enough healthy tooth structure remaining to support a filling, after a root canal, or when a tooth is cracked or severely worn.
