Have a Dental Crown Placed in Our Indiana, PA Office
Tooth damage happens over time. It occurs for a variety of reasons, like tooth decay, injuries, or just use over time. Your teeth can lose their shape or size. Dental crowns are tooth-shaped “caps” placed over your tooth. Patients may have 3D imaging as part of this service to give us a clear view of the surrounding teeth.
The crown restores the tooth’s shape, size, strength, and appearance. Dental crowns can be metals, porcelain, resin, and ceramics. They typically do not require special care over time other than regular good oral hygiene. The average lifespan for a well-maintained dental crown is typically around 15 years. However, with proper care it is common to see them last upwards of 25-30 years.
