There’s pretty much nothing to worry about in regard to dental crowns. However, we know that when you don’t know something, you cannot help but feel a bit hesitant or concerned. So, to help you feel wonderful about selecting a crown for your tooth, we remind you that we’re always more than happy to provide you with facts, answers, and any information you need! Today, we’d like to offer reassurance about details that we very frequently hear are causing our patients a bit of anxiety (Don’t worry: you’ll be very pleased with what you learn!).
Yes, You Will Adjust
You might worry that once you receive a dental crown, you will always feel like you have a foreign object in your mouth. As a result, you figure it will make eating difficult, it may interrupt your usual speech patterns, and more. Fortunately, your brain is so very adaptable! While you may notice it at first, you will soon forget that you ever received a crown. It will become a part of your smile and will help you to enjoy comfortable eating, speaking, and more.
No, Receiving One Isn’t Uncomfortable
Receiving a crown is completely comfortable! We are simply bonding the prosthetic over your tooth. Easy!
Of Course, It Will Look Like It’s Your Tooth!
While we can absolutely place metal crowns on back teeth if you wish (they offer exceptional strength at a more budget-friendly cost), you have lots of options for crowning a tooth with a lifelike finish. For a blend of exceptional durability and beauty, we offer porcelain-fused-to-metal (porcelain over a metal base). We also provide porcelain (for front teeth) or zirconia (for any teeth), both of which provide a completely genuine finish that will look like your very own tooth and that will last.
