Everything You Need to Know About Dental Crowns
Wondering how crowns work to restore your teeth? Curious about candidacy? Want to learn more about our approach to dental care? Centennial, CO, dentist Dr. Jean Link, is here to explain it all. That way, you're fully informed, even before you visit our compassionate dental team.
Crowns Are a Versatile Solution With a Variety of Benefits
Whether you've just damaged a tooth or you've been dealing with tooth decay or tooth trauma for a while, you've found three Centennial, CO, dentists who are ready to help. Depending on your needs, they can use dental crowns for cases like:
Broken, cracked, or worn-down teeth can be reinforced with dental crowns. They can help protect what's left of your teeth and reinstate your oral function.
If you have a cavity, your dentist will have to remove the decayed tissue. While small cavities can be treated with a filling, large cavities may require a crown.
If you have a misshapen tooth or deep dental stains that don't respond to teeth whitening treatments, we can place a crown to give you an even, vibrant smile.
Root canal therapy removes an infection from the tooth chamber to save the tooth. We can often place a crown immediately after root canal therapy to reinforce the tooth structure.
What About Missing Teeth? Our Dentists Perform All Stages of Implant Treatment In-House
If you have a missing tooth or need one extracted, a dental crown can help with that too. Our Centennial, CO, dentists are able to place an implant, or biocompatible post, in your jaw, employing surgical guides for incredibly accurate work.
Once the implant osseointegrates, or fuses with your jawbone and gums, we can attach an abutment and restore the implant with a custom crown. You'll also enjoy added benefits with implants, like improved bone health, natural-looking aesthetics, and dependable stability.
Understanding CEREC Crowns:
Our Same-Day Solution
CEREC technology allows us to provide patients with porcelain restorations in a single visit to our office. If you're receiving a same-day crown with us, your entire appointment may take just two hours. With CEREC milling technology, there's no need to wear or pay for a temporary crown, make time for 2-3 appointments, or wait a month as a dental lab creates your crown.
We will always explore this option with you when you come to us for a porcelain crown, but sometimes coordinating your care with a dental lab is the best course of action.

A Real Patient's Experience With a Dental Crown
"I had to have a new crown put on as it had a cavity underneath. They put on the temporary and I didn’t even know I had it on. When I went back to get the permanent crown I went in at 7:30, got right in and Doctor Mark is such a perfectionist that after the anesthetic wore off it was like I had never been in to see him. Since I am a bit older I have always had a slight fear of dentists but now it is very easy and routine for me." Jerry Green
Are Crowns Eligible For Dental Insurance?
Yes, they are, since they're crucial for your health and oral function. Currently, our Centennial dentists accept insurance from Delta Dental. If you have a different provider, we're happy to file for reimbursement with your insurance to make treatment more convenient.
Additional Ways to Cover the Cost Of Your New Dental Crown
Along with accepting Delta Dental insurance, our practice also has several other options to help you afford your new crown. They include:
Dental Financing
Don't have insurance? Need a little assistance? We accept financing through lenders like GreenSky® and CareCredit®. That way, you can pay for your crown over time, without stressing about the costs.
Cash, Card, or Check
At our Centennial office, you're welcome to pay with cash or check, as well as with credit cards from American Express, Discover, MasterCard, and Visa.
Free Consultations
To make your decision easier, we offer free, no-obligation second opinions. After all, you deserve to feel fully confident in your choice of dentist.

Our goal is to make you feel comfortable during each visit, in control of your health decisions, and cared for every moment you're with us.
How Long Do Crowns Last?
/
When cared for properly, porcelain crowns can last for 15 years or longer. To provide our patients with strong yet stunning crowns, we invest in materials like zirconia and porcelain. We'll also educate you thoroughly, so you can do your part to maintain your new restoration.
Caring for Your Crown
We want you to have a beautiful, healthy smile for years to come. To make the most of your crown, we recommend that you:
Be Mindful of Harmful Habits
While your crown is made from durable materials that can withstand natural chewing forces, it can still become damaged. Avoid using your teeth as tools and wear an oral appliance if you have bruxism (teeth grinding).
Follow an Oral Hygiene Routine
While porcelain can't decay, the tooth beneath your crown can. You must still abide by an oral care routine that involves brushing, flossing, and using mouthwash.
Attend Routine Checkups
Regular checkups with our dentists in Centennial will allow them to examine each tooth, maintain your oral health, stop problems before they become serious, and tell you when it's time for a new crown.
