What Are Dental Crowns?
A dental crown acts as a protective cap that covers a damaged or weakened tooth, restoring its strength, shape, and appearance while shielding it from further damage. At Kaceli Dental + Medical Aesthetics Studio, our crowns offer added support for teeth affected by decay, fractures, or root canal treatments. They can also enhance the appearance of discolored or misshapen teeth. We offer a variety of crown materials, including porcelain, ceramic, metal, or combinations of these, chosen based on your unique needs and the tooth being treated. For instance, porcelain crowns are favored for their natural look while metal crowns are valued for their durability. Visit our Norwood, MA practice to explore how dental crowns can enhance your smile. Schedule your consultation with Dr. Monika Kaceli today for personalized care that prioritizes your dental health and confidence.
What Happens During A Dental Crown Procedure?
Getting a dental crown usually requires two appointments. During the first visit, our dental team prepares your tooth by removing damaged or decayed areas and shaping it for the crown. We then take an impression to create a custom-fitted crown. While your permanent crown is being made, a temporary crown is placed to protect your tooth. At your second appointment, the permanent crown is securely bonded to your tooth, blending seamlessly with your smile and functioning just like a natural tooth. With proper care, dental crowns can last 10 – 15 years or longer. Regular brushing, flossing, and dental checkups are key to maintaining your crown. Additionally, avoiding habits like teeth grinding or chewing on hard objects can help extend its lifespan.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I wear a night guard with dental crowns?
A night guard can usually be worn with dental crowns and may help protect them from excessive biting forces. Our team can make sure the guard fits properly so it does not place unwanted pressure on your crowns.
Is it possible to get teeth whitening with dental crowns?
Teeth whitening can be done if you have dental crowns, but the crowns themselves will not lighten. Our team can help plan whitening and restoration updates in the right order so your smile looks consistent.
Will dental crowns change the shape of my face?
Dental crowns usually do not dramatically change the shape of the face, but they can improve tooth shape, bite support, and smile balance. In some cases, restoring worn or damaged teeth may create a more supported and refreshed appearance.
