Reasons You Might Need a Dental Crown
Dental crowns are one of the most versatile treatments in dentistry. They can be used to correct a wide range of tooth problems. Your dentist may recommend a crown if you have:
Crowns Can Replace Missing Teeth? Yes! Thanks To Dental Implants
While traditional dental crowns are designed to preserve your natural teeth, modern implant-supported crowns can actually replace a single lost tooth from the roots to the chewing surface. Dental implants are small titanium devices that are surgically placed in the jaw to replace lost tooth roots. Just like real tooth roots, they provide stimulation that helps retain bone tissue in the jaw. Once the implant has completely integrated with the bone tissue, your dentist will attach a custom-made dental crown that looks and feels just like a natural tooth.
Replacing a Single Missing Tooth With an Implant-Supported Crown
A dental implant paired with a dental crown can replace a single missing tooth. Your dentist can use this treatment to restore your oral function and allow you to eat and speak properly once more. Because a dental implant replaces the missing tooth roots, it also provides stimulation to the jaw to prevent jawbone atrophy.
How Crowns Are Placed
If you need preparatory treatment such as a root canal or dental implant, this must be done before dental crown placement. During your initial consultation at our Billings dental practice, your dentist will develop a custom treatment plan to address your unique oral health needs.
Post-Appointment
There is generally no downtime involved in receiving a dental crown. Most patients return to their normal schedule immediately after their appointment. If you have questions or concerns at any time, do not hesitate to contact our office, and we will be happy to assist.

A Closer Look At Crown Placement
To ensure that your new crown complements the form and function of your smile, Dr. Casagrande will conservatively reshape your existing tooth structure before placing your permanent restoration.
Does Treatment Hurt?
Contrary to common misconceptions, getting a crown is relatively pain-free. Your dentist will administer local anesthesia before starting the procedure to minimize any discomfort. However, we understand that some people experience higher levels of sensitivity and anxiety when it comes to dental work. To ensure that every patient feels comfortable, we offer several sedation options to help you achieve deep relaxation during your procedure. If you would like to learn more, please schedule a consultation at our Billings office to speak to a dentist today. We want you to feel comfortable while we treat your teeth, and are willing to make the necessary accommodations.
How Long Does a Dental Crown Last?
With proper care and maintenance, a dental crown can last about 10 to 15 years. The porcelain will wear over time and eventually need to be replaced, but here are some tips to maintain your dental crown for years to come:
Maintain Oral Hygiene
Maintain proper oral hygiene by brushing with a soft-bristled brush for at least two minutes twice a day. Floss after you brush to be sure all debris is removed from the tooth surface.
Visit Your Dentist Regularly
Regular visits with your dentist for an exam and cleaning can help you maintain optimal oral health and prevent issues from becoming worse.
Be Mindful of Sticky/Hard Foods
Sticky foods like caramel can pull at the crown and cause it to become dislodged from the tooth structure. Likewise, hard foods like ice, hard candies, or even hard vegetables can damage the crown. Be mindful when enjoying these foods, and try to chew or bite on the other side of your smile to protect the dental crown.
