What Is a Cosmetic Crown?
A cosmetic crown is a full-coverage restoration that caps a damaged or aesthetically compromised tooth. Unlike traditional metal crowns, cosmetic crowns are made from tooth-colored materials that mimic the natural appearance of enamel.
Crowns are often recommended for:
- Cracked, worn, or fractured teeth
- Discolored teeth that don't respond to whitening
- Misshapen or poorly aligned teeth
- Teeth that have large fillings or prior decay
- Restoring implants or following a root canal
At Prime Dental Care, we customize every crown to blend with your surrounding teeth and support your bite alignment for long-term comfort.
Types of Crowns We Offer
1. Porcelain Crowns
Porcelain crowns offer excellent aesthetics and are ideal for front teeth or visible areas of the smile. They reflect light like natural enamel and are highly resistant to staining.
2. Ceramic Crowns
Ceramic crowns (including zirconia or lithium disilicate options) are known for their durability and lifelike appearance. They are a strong choice for both front and back teeth, especially for patients who need added strength without sacrificing looks.
Not sure which type is right for you? Dr. Zhong will evaluate your bite, tooth condition, and aesthetic goals to recommend the best material.
The Cosmetic Crown Process
- Consultation & Digital Imaging: We begin with a detailed evaluation and digital scans to assess the tooth and plan your restoration.
- Tooth Preparation: A minimal amount of enamel is removed to ensure the crown fits securely and naturally.
- Temporary Crown: A temporary crown is placed while your final version is being crafted by our lab.
- Crown Placement: Once ready, the crown is bonded in place, adjusted for comfort, and polished to perfection.
If your crown is part of a broader treatment plan—such as full-mouth reconstruction—we’ll coordinate the full timeline to ensure optimal results.
Benefits of Cosmetic Crowns
- Strengthens and protects weakened teeth
- Restores natural shape, size, and color
- Improves smile aesthetics and uniformity
- Long-lasting with proper care and maintenance
- Metal-free options for those with sensitivities
Crowns are also often used in conjunction with root canal therapy to protect a tooth after treatment.
FAQs About Cosmetic Crowns
How long do porcelain or ceramic crowns last?
With proper care, cosmetic crowns can last 10–15 years or longer. Regular dental visits and good oral hygiene help extend their lifespan.
Do crowns look natural?
Yes. We use high-quality materials and advanced digital shade-matching to ensure your crown blends seamlessly with your smile.
Is getting a crown painful?
The procedure is typically not painful. We use local anesthesia to keep you comfortable, and most patients experience only mild soreness afterward.
Can I whiten my crown later?
No. Crowns do not respond to whitening. We recommend whitening your natural teeth before crown placement so we can match your ideal shade.
Are crowns covered by insurance?
Some PPO plans may cover a portion of cosmetic crowns when medically necessary. For uncovered portions, we offer flexible financing through CareCredit and Sunbit, along with savings options via our Prime Smile Club.
