Eight common questions about dental crowns for teeth
Drs. James Kreuz, Gregory Duffner, Alexander Dolinar, and the entire dental family at Park Avenue Dental Care of Homewood, Illinois, work routinely with patients in and around the area to achieve and maintain oral health and wellness under the care and attention of our professional staff. With our help and our procedures, the entire household can get general, cosmetic, and restorative care solutions for the smile. This includes dental crowns. Porcelain dental crowns are just one of several restorative solutions available at our clinic for our patients.
Below are eight frequently asked questions heard from the team at Park Avenue Dental Care about the use of porcelain dental crowns to restore the smile:
1. What is a porcelain dental crown?
Think of a porcelain dental crown as a cover for your tooth. It is a personalized cap that fits over a damaged or weakened tooth to restore its shape, size, and strength while also improving appearance at the same time.
2. Will my crown look natural?
Absolutely! Our porcelain tooth crowns are designed to match the exact color and shape of your natural teeth, so they blend right in. Unless you tell someone, no one will even notice it’s there!
3. How long do most porcelain crowns last?
With proper care, porcelain crowns last 15 years or even longer. And you treat it like you treat your other teeth, with daily brushing, flossing, and regular dental checkups at Park Avenue Dental Care.

4. Does getting a porcelain dental crown hurt?
Not at all! The dental crown placement procedure is done with local anesthesia, so you will not feel a thing during the process. Your dental team makes sure you are comfortable the entire time.
5. Can I eat as usual with my new porcelain crown?
Once your porcelain dental crown is securely in place, you can enjoy all the food you love.
6. Are porcelain crowns expensive?
The cost of porcelain dental crowns can vary depending on which tooth needs a crown and your current dental insurance plans. Many plans do cover part of the cost, so it’s worth checking with our front office team. Patients without insurance can talk to our front desk about how to make necessary dental work affordable. Think of it as an investment in a long-lasting, healthy smile.
7. How do I take care of my porcelain crown?
It’s simple! Maintain good oral hygiene! Brush twice a day, floss daily, and do not skip your regular dental visits. Treat your crown well, and it’ll repay you by keeping your smile gorgeous for years!
