Tooth decay and structural weakness can threaten your oral health and lead to painful and unattractive side effects. For this patient, we used a tooth-colored porcelain crown to repair structural damage and improve aesthetics.

Implants Offer Unmatched Stability The Gold Standard of Tooth Replacement Options

You can also restore a missing tooth with an implant-supported crown. When you choose this option, we will coordinate with an oral surgeon local to Plymouth who will place a dental implant in your jawbone. Over a period of several months, the implant will fuse with the bone and become part of your anatomy.

When you are completely healed, Dr. Kirschner can secure a dental crown to the implant. While this process is more complex than traditional treatment, implant dentistry is the only solution that replaces tooth roots and maintains the strength of your jawbone.

We Help Make Crowns Affordable by Accepting Insurance and Flexible Financing

If you're receiving a dental crown for restorative reasons, your insurance will likely pay for treatment to some extent. Purely cosmetic crowns will not be covered. Our Plymouth dental office accepts many types of insurance and can coordinate directly with your provider to get you the most coverage possible. Flexible financing through CareCredit® can help you manage any remaining out-of-pocket expenses.

A porcelain dental crown can easily reinforce a tooth that has been damaged due to trauma or decay, or conceal an abnormally shaped or discolored tooth.

The Dental Crown Timeline

Your crown treatment may vary based on any preparatory dental work you need and whether you receive an implant-supported restoration.
Your crown treatment may vary based on any preparatory dental work you need and whether you receive an implant-supported restoration.

Consultation

You will first meet with our dentist for a one-on-one consultation to diagnose your dental problem and discuss your treatment options. If a dental crown is the best solution for you, we will schedule your procedure along with any additional dental care you need to treat your condition. 

Tooth Preparation

At your next appointment, we will start by cleaning your teeth and gums and preparing your tooth. This may involve removing decayed or damaged tissue or performing a root canal to remove infection from your tooth's inner chamber. Next, we will reshape the tooth, removing a small amount of enamel to make room for your crown.

Impressions

Once your tooth is prepped, Dr. Kirschner will take detailed impressions of your bite. We will send this mold to our trusted off-site laboratory, where professional technicians will craft your custom porcelain restoration. This process usually takes two to three weeks.

Temporary Crown

In the meantime, our dentist will secure a temporary crown to protect your tooth. Be careful with the temporary crown, as it won't be quite as strong or well-fitting as your custom-made permanent crown will be. 

Permanent Crown

When your permanent crown is ready, you will return to our Plymouth dental office for your final visit. We will remove the temporary crown, clean your teeth, and lightly buff the enamel to optimize the bonding strength. Finally, we will secure your crown with dental cement that is cured under UV light. The cement will quickly harden and create a durable bond that can last many years. 

Maintaining Your Dental Crown

It's possible to maintain your dental crown for well over a decade by following a list of simple instructions provided by Dr. Kirschner:

Practice Good Dental Hygiene

Care for your restoration like you care for your natural teeth by thoroughly brushing and flossing on a daily basis. Remember to pull the dental floss from front to back rather than up and down the sides of your teeth to avoid snagging the edge of your crown. 

Avoid Wear and Tear

While our porcelain and porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns are very strong, they are not indestructible, so refrain from chewing on ice, hard candies, or anything excessively hard. If you suffer from bruxism (teeth grinding), we may recommend wearing a mouthguard to protect your teeth and dental crown overnight. 

Visit the Dentist

The best way to maintain your dental crown and natural teeth is to schedule a biannual checkup at our Plymouth practice. If we identify anything wrong with your restoration or your oral health, we can provide a solution as quickly as possible.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Crowns in Plymouth, NH

Should I get a crown or just have my tooth pulled?

We’ll do everything we can to save your natural tooth, which can involve placing a crown. This preserves the root of your tooth and the surrounding structures. However, extraction may be necessary if the damage or decay is too severe. If your tooth can't be saved, we can arrange dental implant placement surgery.

Is dental crown treatment painful?

No, we keep you comfortable during the dental crown procedure. If you suffer from dental phobia or are undergoing several procedures simultaneously, you may benefit from one of our sedation options to keep you relaxed while in the chair.

How long do dental crowns last?

With proper care, our dental crowns can last 10-15 years or longer. Implants can last a lifetime. Your dentist will instruct you on how to lengthen the lifespan of your restoration.
