Frequently Asked Questions

Have a question? Find the answers to our most frequently asked questions here.
How long do crowns last?

- On average, dental crowns can last between 5 to 15 years, depending on the material used, oral hygiene habits, and overall health. - Proper care and regular dental check-ups can extend the life of a crown. - Factors that can affect the longevity of a crown include grinding or clenching teeth, biting or chewing on hard objects, and poor oral hygiene.

Can crowns be whitened?

- Crowns cannot be whitened like natural teeth, as they are made of artificial materials. - However, crowns can be made to match the shade of your surrounding teeth. - If you want to whiten your natural teeth, it's best to do so before getting a crown, as the crown will not change color.

Are crowns painful?

- Getting a crown is typically not painful, as the tooth is numbed with anesthesia. - You may experience some discomfort or sensitivity after the procedure, but this can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers. - If you experience persistent pain or sensitivity, contact your dentist for further evaluation.

Can crowns be replaced?

- Yes, crowns can be replaced if they become damaged, loose, or worn out. - Replacement crowns can be made to match the original crown or updated to a new shade or material. - Regular dental check-ups can help identify the need for crown replacement before it becomes a more serious issue.

My daughter's first dental visit was a huge success, thanks to the caring and patient team at SkyBlue. They made her feel comfortable and explained everything in a way that she could understand. Now she's excited to come back for her check-ups!

I was nervous about getting a root canal, but the experience was surprisingly smooth. The team at SkyBlue was gentle and attentive, and they really put my mind at ease. I'm so glad I chose them for my treatment.
