What Is a Dental Crown and Why Might You Need One?

A dental crown—also called a tooth cap—is a custom-made restoration that covers the entire surface of a damaged tooth. It’s used to protect, strengthen, and restore teeth affected by:

  • Large cavities
  • Cracks or fractures
  • Root canal treatment
  • Cosmetic flaws or discoloration

At Smile Solutions of Maine, we take a conservative, patient-first approach, placing crowns only when necessary and choosing materials that prioritize long-term durability and natural aesthetics.

What Is the Process for Getting a Tooth Cap?

At Smile Solutions, your crown treatment involves two precise and comfortable visits:

Visit 1:

  • We’ll numb the area using The Wand, our computer-controlled anesthetic system.
  • The tooth is gently reshaped, and a digital scan or impression is taken.
  • A custom temporary crown is placed to protect your tooth while the final crown is being made.

Visit 2:

  • After 1–2 weeks, your permanent crown arrives.
  • We take a radiograph to confirm a perfect seal.
  • The crown is adjusted for comfort and securely bonded in place.

You leave with a fully restored tooth—no need for dietary restrictions or second-guessing your smile.

How Long Do Dental Crowns Last?

Most dental crowns can last 10 to 25 years, depending on:

  • The material used
  • The health of the supporting tooth
  • Your daily hygiene habits
  • The skill of your dental provider

Smile Solutions crowns are backed by a 5-year warranty. We take extra steps to ensure long-term success—from using precise digital imaging to verifying fit before final cementation.

Do You Need a Root Canal Before Getting a Dental Crown?

Not always. While root canals are often performed before crown placement, they’re only necessary if the tooth’s pulp is infected or damaged.

During your consultation, we’ll evaluate the tooth and determine if a root canal is required or if a crown alone is sufficient.

How Do You Care for a Dental Crown?

Caring for your crown is simple and mirrors the habits you should already have:

  • Brush and floss daily
  • Avoid chewing hard objects (like ice or pens)
  • Visit us for regular cleanings and exams

If your crown ever chips or loosens, Smile Solutions offers prompt crown repair using bonded white materials. And if a replacement is needed within five years, it’s free of charge under our warranty.

What to Expect at Your Crown Consultation:

We understand that every patient—and every tooth—is different. That’s why our consultations are:

  • Comfortable and low-pressure
  • Focused on listening to your concerns
  • Backed by advanced imaging and diagnostics
  • Designed to help you choose the right type of crown
