Dental Crowns in West Chester, OH

Getting a dental crown usually takes two appointments over a two-to-three week period. At the first visit we prepare the tooth and take impressions for a custom crown; at the second visit we fit and permanently bond the finished crown.

Getting a dental crown is generally painless because the tooth is numbed with local anesthesia before any preparation work. Most patients feel mild sensitivity for a few days afterward, which typically resolves on its own.

Dental crowns typically last 10 to 15 years, and many last even longer with good oral hygiene and regular checkups. Avoiding hard foods and teeth grinding, and wearing a nightguard if recommended, can help extend the life of a crown.
