Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Crowns

A dental crown is a custom made "cap" that is placed over a tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Unlike a dental filling that plugs a hole, a crown encases the entire visible portion of a tooth above the gum line. It acts as a protective shield for teeth that are cracked, severely decayed, or have undergone root canal therapy.

In San Antonio, the cost of a dental crown typically ranges from $1,100 to $1,800 per tooth. The final price depends on the material chosen:

  • Porcelain/Ceramic: Best for front teeth due to natural translucency.
  • Zirconia: Preferred for back molars because of its extreme durability.
  • Gold/Metal Alloys: Ideal for patients with heavy grinding habitsMost insurance plans cover roughly 50% of the cost if the crown is medically necessary to save the tooth.

If a dental technician is struggling to see that a crown needs more yellow, it is usually due to Metamerism. This is a phenomenon where the color of the tooth looks different under various lighting (e.g., the LED lights in a dental office vs. natural sunlight).

At Smiles of Bulverde, we use specialized shade guides and natural spectrum lighting to ensure your crown matches the complex "warmth" and yellow undertones of your surrounding natural teeth perfectly.

A high-quality dental crown typically lasts between 10 and 15 years, though many last much longer with excellent care. The longevity of your crown depends on:

  1. Oral Hygiene: Brushing and flossing to prevent decay at the "margin" (where the crown meets the gum).
  2. Bite Habits: Avoiding ice-chewing or using teeth as tools.
  3. Materials: Zirconia and gold are historically the most fracture resistant over long periods.

Dental crowns can be made from several materials, including:

  • Metal: Strong and durable, often used for out-of-sight molars.
  • Porcelain-fused-to-metal: Provides a natural tooth color but can show metal if gums recede.
  • All-ceramic or all-porcelain: Offers the best natural color match and is suitable for people with metal allergies.
  • Resin: Less expensive but wears down over time and is more prone to fractures.
  • Zirconia: Highly durable and aesthetically pleasing, often used for both front and back teeth.
