Dental Crowns in Edmonds, WA | Tooth Restoration

When a tooth is cracked, broken, severely decayed, or weakened by a root canal, a dental crown is often the best solution. A crown covers your entire tooth, restoring its strength, function, and appearance. At Edmonds Dental Care, we create custom crowns that look like your natural teeth, feel comfortable, and last for many years. We serve patients across Edmonds and Snohomish County.

What’s Included in Your Dental Crown Process

We understand that getting a crown is a multi-step process. That’s why we guide you through every stage with clear communication and expert care. Here’s what the crown process includes:

Examination and Preparation

We’ll examine your tooth and determine if a crown is the best solution. If so, we’ll numb the area and carefully prepare your tooth by removing damaged or decayed portions and shaping it to support the crown.

Impression and Mold

We’ll take a precise impression of your prepared tooth and the teeth around it. This mold ensures your crown fits perfectly and matches your bite. We’ll also match the color to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.

Temporary and Permanent Crown Placement

While your permanent crown is being created in our lab (typically one to two weeks), we’ll place a temporary crown to protect your tooth. Once your permanent crown is ready, we’ll permanently cement it in place.

Crown Material Options

We offer porcelain crowns that look like natural teeth, porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns for strength and aesthetics, and gold crowns for maximum durability. We’ll discuss your options during your consultation.

^FAQ

Dental Crown FAQ

How long does the crown process take?

The entire process typically takes two to three weeks from consultation to final placement.

How long do dental crowns last?

With proper care, dental crowns can last 10 to 15 years or longer.

What’s the difference between a crown and a filling?

Fillings repair cavities by filling the decayed area. Crowns cover the entire tooth and are used for more extensive damage or to support a bridge.

Can the tooth under my crown get a cavity?

Yes. Even with a crown, it’s important to maintain good oral hygiene. The edges of the crown and the underlying tooth can still develop decay if not properly cared for.
