Crowns usually aren’t painful. Your dentist will numb the area before the procedure so you’ll stay comfortable. Mild sensitivity or discomfort afterward is normal and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.

How Many Appointments Will I Need?

Getting a crown typically requires two appointments. At the first visit, Dr. Weiselberg will prepare your tooth, take an impression, and place a temporary crown. At the second appointment, your custom crown will be fitted and permanently cemented.

How Long Until I See the Results?

You’ll see the results of your crown treatment quickly. After your second appointment, where the permanent crown is placed, you can immediately enjoy your tooth’s restored function and appearance.

What Are the Risks Associated with Crowns?

While crowns are generally a safe and effective solution for restoring damaged teeth, there are a few potential risks to consider, including: Tooth sensitivity: You may experience sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures after the crown is placed. Crown loosening: The crown can become loose or fall off if the cement washes out or if the tooth underneath isn’t adequately prepared. Decay or infection: The tooth underneath could become decayed or infected if the crown does not fit properly. Chipping or breaking: Crowns made from certain materials can chip or break under heavy pressure. Allergic reactions: Although rare, some individuals may have an allergic reaction to the materials used in the crown. Regular dental check-ups with Dr. Weiselberg and good oral hygiene can help minimize these risks.

What Are Crowns?

Crowns, or caps, are dental restorations that cover and protect damaged or decayed teeth, restoring their shape, size, and appearance. Custom-made to match your natural teeth, crowns can be crafted from porcelain, ceramic, metal, or a combination of materials. They’re used to strengthen weakened teeth, cover dental implants, or enhance the appearance of discolored or misshapen teeth, offering both cosmetic and protective benefits.

What Are the Benefits of Crowns?

Crowns offer a range of benefits, making them a valuable solution for both improving the function and appearance of teeth, including:

Restoration of function: Crowns restore the shape and function of damaged or decayed teeth, allowing for normal chewing and biting.
Protection: They provide a protective cover for weakened teeth, preventing further damage or decay.
Durability: Made from solid materials like porcelain or metal, crowns are durable and can last many years with proper care.
Aesthetic improvement: Crowns can enhance the appearance of your teeth by covering discolorations, cracks, or misshapen areas, giving you a more attractive smile.
Comfort: Crowns are custom-made to fit comfortably in your mouth, ensuring a natural feel and bite.

These benefits make crowns versatile for both restorative and cosmetic dental needs.

Who Are the Best Candidates for Crowns?

Crowns are an excellent choice for individuals looking to restore the function and appearance of their teeth due to damage, decay, or other dental issues. Crowns are perfect for those who have:

Damaged or decayed teeth: Ideal for those needing restoration and protection due to tooth damage or decay.
Cracked or worn down teeth: Provides support and durability to teeth that are structurally compromised.
Severe discoloration: Offers a solution for teeth with significant discoloration that cannot be corrected with whitening.
Post-root canal treatment: Essential for protecting and strengthening teeth after a root canal.
Looking to enhance their smile: This is great for those looking to improve the overall appearance and uniformity of their smile.

If you meet these criteria, crowns can provide a durable and natural-looking solution to maintain your dental health and enhance your smile. Consulting with Dr. Weiselberg at North Jersey Dental Group can help determine if crowns are the right choice for you.

Let’s Get Started

What’s the
first step?

To begin your journey with dental crowns at North Jersey Dental Group, schedule a consultation with Dr. Weiselberg. During this appointment, she will evaluate your oral health and discuss the various crown options available, helping you choose the most suitable one. She’ll also guide you through the next steps and prepare you for the procedure.

What to Expect on the Day of Crown Treatment

The crown treatment process involves several key steps. First, Dr. Weiselberg will prepare your tooth by removing any decay and shaping it to fit the crown. Next, impressions of your tooth are taken to create a custom crown. A temporary crown is placed to protect your tooth until the final one is ready. When the permanent crown is complete, you’ll return it for placement, ensuring a precise and comfortable fit. Dr. Weiselberg will guide you through each step, making sure you’re well-informed and relaxed throughout the process.

Crowns Recovery

Recovery after crown placement is typically smooth and manageable. You may experience some minor soreness or sensitivity around the crowned tooth for a few days, which is normal and should diminish as your mouth adjusts. If you experience any discomfort or notice issues with the fit of your crown, it’s a good idea to contact Dr. Weiselberg for adjustments. Maintaining excellent oral hygiene is crucial—brush and floss regularly, paying extra attention to the area around the crown to prevent decay and gum issues. For the first few days, stick to soft foods and avoid sticky or hard items to ensure the crown remains secure and to minimize discomfort. Following these simple steps will help you recover quickly and enjoy the benefits of your new crown.
