dental crown DENTISTS In St. Petersburg

Reasons for Needing a Dental Crown

  • To protect a weak or cracked tooth
  • To restore a broken or severely worn tooth
  • To cover and support a tooth with a large filling
  • After a root canal treatment
  • To hold a dental bridge in place
  • To cover a misshaped or discolored tooth
  • To cover a dental implant

Types of Dental Crowns

  • Porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM):
    Combines the strength of metal with the natural look of porcelain, though the metal may show at the gum line over time.
  • All-ceramic or all-porcelain:
    Offers the best color match for natural teeth, ideal for front teeth, but may not be as strong as metal-based options.
  • All-resin:
    A more affordable option that’s less durable and more prone to wear and fractures.
  • Metal (gold or base-metal alloys):
    Extremely durable and resistant to wear, but very noticeable, making them more suitable for back teeth.
  • Zirconia:
    Strong, long-lasting, and tooth-colored, often used for both front and back teeth due to its balance of strength and aesthetics.

FAQs

Dental crowns typically last between 10 to 15 years, but with good oral hygiene and regular dental checkups, they can last even longer. Their lifespan depends on the material used, your oral habits, and how well you care for your teeth.
The cost of a dental crown can range from $800 to $2,500 per tooth, depending on the material used and the complexity of the procedure. Insurance may cover part of the cost if the crown is medically necessary, helping to reduce your out-of-pocket expenses. What are they made of?

Getting a dental crown usually takes two visits over 1–2 weeks. During the first visit, the tooth is prepared, impressions are taken, and a temporary crown is placed; the second visit is for fitting and placing the permanent crown. Some offices offer same-day crowns using advanced technology, allowing you to get everything done in a single appointment.
