Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Crowns
Dental crowns in SE Calgary typically cost $1,200-$2,500 per tooth, depending on the material. Porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns are $1,200-$1,600, all-porcelain or ceramic crowns are $1,400-$2,000, and gold crowns are $1,500-$2,500. Most dental insurance covers 50% of crown costs. Forest Heights Dental provides detailed cost estimates and works with your insurance to maximize benefits. We offer financing options to make crowns affordable.
Dental crowns typically last 10-15 years with proper care, though many last 20-30 years. Crown lifespan depends on the material used, your oral hygiene, grinding or clenching habits, and what you eat. Avoid chewing ice or hard objects, wear a mouth guard if you grind your teeth, brush and floss daily, and visit Forest Heights Dental for regular checkups to make your crown last longer.
Getting a dental crown shouldn’t hurt because we use local anesthesia to numb your tooth completely. You might feel pressure during tooth preparation but no pain. After the anesthesia wears off, you may have mild sensitivity or soreness for a few days, but over-the-counter pain relievers usually handle it. Once your permanent crown is cemented, most patients experience no discomfort at all.
Dental fillings repair small to medium cavities by filling the hole in your tooth. Crowns cover the entire visible portion of a damaged, cracked, or heavily filled tooth to restore its shape, strength, and appearance. Fillings are used when there’s enough healthy tooth structure remaining. Crowns are needed when a tooth is too damaged for a filling or after a root canal. Crowns cost more but last longer.
Traditional crowns require two visits over 2-3 weeks. First visit: tooth preparation, impressions, and temporary crown placement (1-2 hours). Second visit: permanent crown placement and adjustments (30-60 minutes). At Forest Heights Dental, we may offer same-day crowns using advanced technology, allowing you to get your permanent crown in a single appointment. Ask about same-day crown options during your consultation.
Yes, crowned teeth can still get cavities where the crown meets the natural tooth (at the gum line). The crown itself can’t decay, but the exposed tooth structure underneath can. This is why good oral hygiene is crucial—brush twice daily, floss around the crown carefully, and get professional cleanings every six months. If decay develops under a crown, we’ll need to remove the crown, treat the cavity, and place a new crown.
Crowns cover the entire tooth and are used for damaged, weak, or heavily restored teeth. Porcelain veneers cover only the front surface and are primarily cosmetic for healthy teeth with minor imperfections. Crowns are stronger and better for teeth that need structural support. Veneers are thinner, require less tooth preparation, and look more natural for front teeth. During your consultation at Forest Heights Dental in SE Calgary, we’ll recommend the best option.
Dental crowns can fall off due to decay underneath loosening the cement, teeth grinding wearing down the cement, biting hard foods, or the cement simply aging over time. If your crown falls off, call Forest Heights Dental immediately. Don’t try to glue it back yourself. Keep the crown safe, avoid chewing on that side, and we’ll get you in quickly to re-cement or replace it. Most loose crowns can be re-cemented if caught early.
