Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the timeframe to have a crown completed at a dental office?
Crowns and bridges typically involve two appointments spaced a few weeks apart. However, emergencies like chipped front teeth might allow for quicker completion of crowns. While some clinics offer same-day crowns, our experience indicates superior results come from crowns crafted in our on-site lab using high-heat techniques. At Today Dental of Crowley, prioritizing long-lasting functionality and optimal patient care is our guiding principle.
Are Crowns expensive?
Dental crowns are often a more budget-friendly option compared to root canals with crowns, implants, or dentures. We understand the importance of affordability. Today Dental offers various options to fit your needs, including an in-house savings plan and flexible payment plans. Additionally, crown pricing varies depending on location in your mouth and the material chosen, like porcelain or zirconia. Cash-paying patients can expect costs within a range of $900-$1,400, while those with dental insurance may benefit from reduced costs.
Curious about your initial visit?
Efficiency is key at Today Dental of Crowley. Upon arrival, you'll be greeted and escorted to the treatment area. To assess your oral health, we'll take digital images and X-rays. The dentist will then perform a thorough examination and ask about any potential discomfort. If decay or fractures are identified, crown treatment might be recommended. In most cases, we strive to initiate treatment on the same day, reflecting our commitment to prompt care. Following tooth preparation for the crown, a temporary restoration will be placed. An impression of the prepared tooth will be taken, and you'll return in 2-3 weeks for permanent crown placement.
Confused about dental bridges?
Think of a dental bridge as a solution similar to a crown, but for missing teeth. It consists of two or more crowns cemented to the teeth flanking the gap (called abutment teeth) and one or more artificial teeth (pontics) filling the space between. The abutment teeth act as anchors, while the pontic effectively restores the appearance and functionality of the missing tooth/teeth. Bridges can be made from various materials, including porcelain or zirconia, and they are securely attached to natural teeth for optimal stability. While dental bridges offer a convenient solution for replacing one or two missing teeth, they might not be suitable for restoring numerous missing teeth. A dental professional can offer further guidance in such cases.
Unsure if a dental crown is right for you?
At Today Dental of Crowley, we prioritize conservative approaches, aiming to preserve as much healthy tooth structure as possible. We believe that natural teeth offer unmatched functionality and durability. So, why consider a dental crown? Firstly, crowns act as tooth savers, protecting existing tooth structure compared to alternatives like implants or dentures that require tooth extraction. Additionally, crowns offer a simple and efficient solution to reinforce weakened, cracked, or decayed teeth. Furthermore, they can enhance both the aesthetics and functionality of your smile.
