What Is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap that covers your natural tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. It’s bonded using special dental glue for crowns, designed to hold the crown securely in place for years.
Dental Crown and Pain: What to Expect
Getting a crown is usually smooth and low-pain. Some mild discomfort or sensitivity is common right after the procedure, especially when chewing or drinking hot/cold items.
You may feel:
-
Gum tenderness
-
Sensitivity to temperature
-
Pressure if your bite needs a slight adjustment
If pain lasts longer than a few days or worsens, let us know right away. We’re here to help!

What are dental crowns made of?
Crowns can be made from a variety of materials depending on your needs, budget, and the location of the tooth. Common options include:
-
Zirconia (strong, tooth-colored, metal-free)
-
Porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) (durable with a natural look)
-
All-ceramic (best for front teeth and aesthetics)
-
Gold or metal alloys (very strong, typically used on back teeth)
At Smile for Miles, we’ll help you choose the right crown based on function and appearance.
How long do dental crowns last?
With proper care, dental crowns can last 10 to 15 years, and often much longer. The lifespan depends on:
-
The material used
-
Oral hygiene habits
-
Teeth grinding or clenching
-
Regular dental checkups
Zirconia and metal crowns usually last the longest due to their durability.
When do I need a dental crown replacement?
You may need a dental crown replacement if your crown becomes:
-
Loose or falls off
-
Cracked, chipped, or worn down
-
Causing pain or sensitivity due to decay underneath
We recommend regular dental exams to spot issues early and ensure your crown stays secure and functional.
