Are You Ready to Heal Your Smile? Contact Our Stockbridge Practice
The dentists at our privately owned dentistry practice truly care about our patient's oral health needs and goals. They take the time to get to know you so they can discuss the best treatment options without you ever feeling rushed.
Our dental practice focuses on our patients, not our profits, and we will never recommend a treatment unless we think it is absolutely necessary to help meet your goals.
While dental fillings, inlays, and onlays can treat minor cavities and trauma, they are often insufficient to address more significant issues. In these cases, our dentists may recommend dental crowns to provide comprehensive support and prevent further damage.

Determining Your Candidacy Are Dental Crowns the Right Treatment for You?
Dental Tissue
Your affected tooth must have sufficient healthy tissue to receive this dentistry treatment. Our dentists may recommend extraction if your natural tooth has sustained too much damage to support a crown.
Periodontal Health
Dental crowns rest on top of the gums as well as dental tissue. Periodontal disease or infections affecting your gumline may need to be treated before our dentists can place your permanent crown.
Oral Aesthetics
A crown can address the aesthetic flaws of a natural tooth. A crown can cover deep staining that cannot be corrected with teeth whitening or a misshapen tooth that doesn't blend with your neighboring teeth.
Missing a Tooth? You May Still be a Good Dental Crown Candidate
Thanks to dental implants, even patients with missing teeth can make good dental crown candidates.
In the past, the only option for a single missing tooth was a traditional bridge. While effective and affordable, bridges cannot offer the same level of stability and oral health benefits provided by an implant-supported crown. Additionally, bridge placement requires our dentist to alter the teeth on either side of the gap in your smile.
With dental implants, we can maintain the structure of your surrounding teeth by replacing your missing tooth with an implant-supported crown. Patients must have sufficient jawbone density to support dental crown placement; our dentists can determine your candidacy for dental implants during your consultation at our Stockbridge practice.
Dental Implant Benefits Why an Implant-Supported Crown is a Strong Solution
Provide Stability
Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone. Once fused with the jawbone during a process called osseointegration, your dental implants stay secure and provide unparalleled stability for your restoration.
Prevent Jawbone Atrophy
Your natural tooth's roots maintain jawbone density and prevent atrophy. A dental implant functions like your tooth roots to continue jawbone stimulation and prevent deterioration.
Last a Lifetime
While your dental crown may need replacing after about 10 years, your dental implant will last a lifetime. After surgical placement, your dental implant becomes a permanent fixture in your mouth and continually provides a sturdy base for your dental restorations.

Dental Crowns Require No Downtime
/
Restoring a tooth with a dental crown requires no recovery time. Many patients can return to their normal routine immediately after placement. Mild sensitivity is a normal side effect and should subside within a few days. Contact our Stockbridge practice if you are experiencing any pain or discomfort a week after treatment.
Dental Crowns That Last How To Extend the Lifespan of Your Restorations

Maintain Oral Hygiene
Just like your natural teeth, your dental crown needs to be kept clean to prevent bacteria and plaque buildup that can lead to decay and gum disease. You should brush your teeth twice daily, floss once daily, and visit our Stockbridge practice twice a year for regular cleanings.

Avoid Bad Habits
While the porcelain used to make your crowns is extremely durable, it is not indestructible. Just like your natural teeth, your dental crown can be chipped or cracked. It is best to avoid bad habits like biting your nails, chewing on ice, or opening packaging with your teeth.

Address Teeth Grinding
Bruxism, or teeth grinding, can wear down your new restoration just as it can your natural teeth. Speak with our dentists if you suffer from bruxism. They can fit you with an oral appliance to wear at night to help protect your teeth and your dental crown from becoming worn or damaged.
Prompt Treatment Can Protect Your Smile and Budget
When left untreated, a decaying or damaged tooth can lead to more extensive and costly treatment in the future. By seeing our Stockbridge dentists early, we can quickly address the affected tooth before the damage or decay causes more painful and expensive problems. Contact our dentistry practice as soon as your tooth is damaged or you notice any signs of decay.

Dental Crown FAQ
Is dental crown placement painful?
Our dentists use a local anesthetic to numb the area so you will not feel any pain during treatment. Many patients feel relieved when the pain from their damaged or decaying tooth is finally eased.
How long will I be in pain after treatment?
You should be in very little pain following crown placement. Mild discomfort is normal the first few days and can be managed with over-the-counter medication and ice packs.
Can dental crowns be placed on my front teeth?
Yes! Unlike metal crowns, our customized porcelain crowns can be designed to perfectly match your surrounding teeth. People will notice nothing but a beautiful smile after treatment.
Can your tooth rot under your crown?
Unfortunately, yes. It is important to treat any decay before placement and to maintain good oral hygiene habits after treatment to prevent your natural tooth from getting damaged by bacteria.
