Dental Crowns: When You Need One and What to Expect
By Deccan Dental · January 8, 2026 · 3 min read
When a crown is needed
Crowns are used for teeth that are cracked, heavily filled, worn down, or that have had a root canal, and to top dental implants. They restore strength, shape, and appearance.
What to expect
Typically two visits: one to prepare the tooth and take a digital scan or impression, and one to place the final crown. A temporary crown protects the tooth in between.
Longevity and care
With good care, crowns commonly last 10–15 years or more. Learn more about crowns and bridges.
Ready when you are
New patients welcome, emergencies seen promptly, and PPO insurance accepted.
