I have struggled with teeth issues for years; Dr. K and her staff have been warm and friendly with no judgement. They answer all my questions in a patient, professional manner. I recommend this office to anyone looking for dental services!

Dental crown placement isn't especially uncomfortable, but you can choose to receive calming sedation to ensure a pain-free and stress-free experience.
Better Smile, Better Self-Confidence The Difference a Dental Crown Can Make
Implant-Supported Crowns Can Beautifully Replace Missing Teeth
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 through your gums and into 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.
Will Insurance Cover My Dental Crown?
If you are getting 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.
Maintaining Your Dental Crown
It is 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 in a similar manner as 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 check-up 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.

I highly recommend Plymouth General Dentistry. I became a patient in 2021. I neglected my teeth for several years, especially during Covid and needed a great deal of dental work. I am very happy with the care and attention I have received. The quality of work done on my teeth has been outstanding. Additionally, the entire staff is caring, professional and pleasant. I feel very fortunate to be a patient of Plymouth General Dentistry.
