Understanding the Dental Care

What Dental Crowns Are

A dental crown is a custom-made cap that fits securely over a tooth that’s been damaged, decayed, or structurally weakened. It restores the tooth’s shape, size, and function while also protecting it from further harm. Crowns are commonly recommended when a tooth is too compromised for a filling, has undergone a root canal, or has visible cracks, chips, or large areas of decay.

At Method Modern Dentistry in Alpharetta and Roswell, GA, Dr. Alejandra Franco takes time to ensure that every crown is crafted with precision and care. We use advanced materials that match the natural color and texture of your surrounding teeth, so your crown looks and feels completely seamless. They’re durable, long-lasting, and built to handle daily chewing, speaking, and smiling with comfort and confidence.

Why Dental Crowns Matter

The Benefits of Dental Crowns

Dental crowns offer long-term protection and restore both function and aesthetics. Whether your tooth is cracked, worn down, or recovering from a root canal, a crown helps bring it back to full strength. Each one is custom-fitted and carefully crafted to match your bite and natural tooth color. Here's why they’re a smart choice:

Quick steps before your treatment

Preparation for Your Dental Crowns

Getting ready for a dental crown is basically prepping your tooth for a new custom upgrade. Before the procedure, it helps to maintain your regular brushing and flossing routine so your gums stay healthy and the area around the tooth is clean. If the tooth has been giving you trouble, take note of any sensitivity or discomfort so you can share it with Dr. Alex Franco. She may take X-rays to check the roots and surrounding bone, which helps ensure your new crown will sit securely.

Eating a normal meal before your appointment is a smart move since your mouth might feel a little numb afterward. If you grind your teeth or clench often, mention it to the team because it can influence the type of crown material recommended for long term durability.

Caring for your tooth after treatment

Aftercare for Your Dental Crowns

Once your temporary or permanent crown is placed, your tooth starts its adjustment phase and needs gentle care to heal comfortably. Avoid chewing on the treated side until the numbness fades so you do not bite your cheek or tongue. With a temporary crown, stick to softer foods and avoid anything sticky or crunchy that could loosen it.

After your permanent crown is placed, reintroduce firmer foods gradually to help your bite adapt. Continue brushing and flossing, but stay gentle around the area for the first couple of days to avoid irritation. Mild sensitivity is normal and usually fades, though Dr. Alex Franco may recommend a desensitizing toothpaste if needed. If you clench at night, a night guard can protect your new crown and help it last longer.

Still Got Questions About Dental Crowns?

Here’s everything you need to know before your visit. From how the treatment works to what to expect after your appointment, we’ve got you covered.

Dental crowns are used to fix teeth that are cracked, worn down, weakened by decay, or treated with a root canal. They also cover teeth with large fillings or cosmetic flaws. A crown adds strength, protection, and a natural look so your tooth works and feels like it should.

It usually takes two visits. First, we prep the tooth and take a digital scan or impression. You’ll get a temporary crown while your custom one is made. The second visit is for fitting and placing the final crown.

Not at all. The procedure is gentle and done under local anesthesia. Most patients say it feels like getting a filling, but with more long-term benefits.

With good oral hygiene and regular checkups, a crown can last 10 to 15 years or more. Dr. Franco uses high-quality materials built to last.

Yes. Once the crown is cemented, you can eat and chew like normal. Just avoid very sticky or hard foods for the first day after placement.
