Does getting a crown hurt?

The procedure is done with local anesthetic, so pain shouldn't be felt during the appointment. Some tenderness around the tooth is normal for a day or two afterward.

How long does a crown last?

With regular care, most crowns last 10 to 15 years or longer. Fit and condition are checked at every exam.

Can I get a crown the same day?

Crowns are custom-made at a dental lab, which typically takes one to two weeks. A temporary crown is placed to protect the tooth in the meantime.

How much does a dental crown cost?

Crowns typically run $1,500 to $1,800 before insurance, depending on the material and which tooth is being restored. Many PPO plans cover part of the cost. We verify your benefits and give you the full number in writing before your appointment.

Save the tooth.

A crown keeps a cracked or badly decayed tooth from getting worse. Protecting what you have is almost always better than replacing it.

Know the cost upfront.

We walk you through your options and give you the full cost in writing before any work starts. Your PPO benefits are verified first. See typical dental crown costs before you come in.

A fit that holds up.

Crown material is matched to your tooth and your bite. We take the time to get the placement right so it works the way it should.

When do you need a dental crown in Edmonds?

A crown is the right call when a tooth has too much damage for a filling to hold. Common situations:

Large cavity.

When decay has removed so much of the tooth that a filling won’t last, a crown covers and supports what remains.

Cracked or fractured tooth.

A crack that extends toward the root needs to be covered before it spreads further, the same urgency we cover in our guide to a broken or chipped tooth. A crown holds the tooth together and prevents the crack from worsening.

After a root canal.

A tooth treated with a root canal loses moisture and becomes more brittle over time. A crown protects it from breaking.

Broken or severely worn tooth.

Grinding, an accident, or a break can leave a tooth too short or uneven to function. A crown restores the shape and height.

Supporting a bridge.

When a bridge replaces a missing tooth, the neighboring teeth are crowned to anchor it in place.

If you’ve been told you need a crown and aren’t sure why, that’s exactly the kind of question to bring to your consultation. We’ll show you what’s happening and explain the reasoning.

What does getting a crown involve?

Visit 1

Your dentist shapes the tooth to prepare it for the crown, takes an impression, and places a temporary crown to protect the tooth while the permanent one is made.

Fabrication

Your crown is custom-made from the impression. This typically takes one to two weeks.

Visit 2

The temporary crown is removed, and the permanent crown is checked for fit, bite, and appearance before it’s cemented in place.

Most patients are back to normal the same day. Two visits a couple weeks apart is easy to plan around if you’re commuting to Boeing or Microsoft: we schedule both around your workday.

Which type of crown is right for you?

All-ceramic and porcelain-fused-to-metal cover most cases. Zirconia and full gold are available if you request them:

All-ceramic or all-porcelain

The most natural-looking option.

Best for front teeth or visible areas.

Zirconia

Very strong and natural-looking. Available by request.

Added lab fee confirmed when you choose it.

Full metal (gold or alloy)

The most durable option. Available by request.

Used for back molars; added lab fee applies.

Your dentist will recommend the material that makes the most sense for your specific tooth and bite, not a one-size-fits-all answer. Learn more about crown types →

Zirconia and gold crowns carry an added lab fee on top of the crown cost. That fee moves with the metals market, so we confirm the exact amount when you decide on a material.

What patients ask.

Crowns typically run $1,500 to $1,800 before insurance, depending on the material and which tooth is being restored. Zirconia and gold crowns, available by request, add a lab fee on top of that (currently around $200, and as much as $275 for gold) confirmed when you choose your material. Many PPO plans cover part of the cost. We verify your benefits and give you the full number in writing before your appointment.

Our crowns are custom-made at a dental lab, which typically takes one to two weeks. We place a temporary crown to protect your tooth in the meantime.

A tooth that needs a crown and doesn’t get one usually gets worse over time. Cracks extend, decay spreads, and what could have been a two-visit crown can turn into an extraction. We’ll always show you what we’re seeing so you understand the timeline.

Protect your tooth before it gets worse.

A crown is almost always simpler than patients expect. The longer you wait, the more limited your options become. A consultation takes less than an hour and tells you exactly where you stand.
