Dental Crowns in Riverview, FL

What Is a Dental Crown?

A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap that covers and protects a damaged or compromised tooth. It restores the tooth’s original shape, function, and appearance — allowing you to chew, speak, and smile comfortably and confidently.

Crowns are typically recommended when:

  • A tooth is cracked or fractured
  • There is extensive decay or damage
  • A tooth has had a root canal
  • An old filling has failed
  • A dental implant needs to be restored
  • You want to improve the appearance of a misshapen or discolored tooth

Types of Crowns We Offer

At EverySmile Dental, we primarily use tooth-colored crowns made from durable, lifelike materials such as porcelain or ceramic.

Benefits of porcelain/ceramic crowns:

  • Natural appearance
  • Metal-free and biocompatible
  • Long-lasting durability
  • Stain-resistant and custom-matched to your smile

In some cases, we may recommend other materials (such as zirconia or porcelain-fused-to-metal) based on the tooth’s location and function.

What to Expect During the Crown Procedure

The dental crown process typically involves two visits:

Visit 1: Preparation

  • We gently reshape the tooth and take digital impressions.
  • A temporary crown is placed to protect the tooth.
  • Your final crown is custom-designed in a dental lab.

Visit 2: Final Placement

  • We remove the temporary crown.
  • The permanent crown is bonded securely in place.
  • We check the fit, bite, and comfort to ensure optimal results.

In select cases, we may offer same-day crowns using advanced technology — ask us if you're a candidate.

Crowns After Root Canal Treatment

If you've recently had a root canal, a crown is often the next step. The crown protects the treated tooth and restores its full function, helping prevent future damage or infection.

Crowns for Cosmetic Improvement

Crowns aren’t just functional — they can also be used for aesthetic purposes. If you have a tooth that’s severely discolored, misshapen, or uneven, a crown can give it a natural, attractive look.

We also offer porcelain crowns as part of cosmetic dentistry when appearance is a top priority.

Cost, Insurance, and Financing

Many PPO dental insurance plans cover a portion of the cost of crowns, especially when they are medically necessary. Our office is fee-for-service, but we’ll file your PPO claims as a courtesy and help you understand your benefits.

We also offer convenient financing options through:

  • CareCredit
  • Cherry
  • PatientFi
  • Proceed Finance

Before any treatment begins, we’ll provide a clear breakdown of costs and options.

Frequently Asked Questions

Question

Answer

How long do dental crowns last?

With proper care, crowns can last 10 to 15 years or longer. Regular dental visits and good oral hygiene help extend their lifespan.

Is getting a crown painful?

No. The procedure is done under local anesthesia and is generally very comfortable. Mild soreness after prep is common but temporary.

Can I eat normally with a crown?

Yes. Once your crown is placed, you can chew, eat, and speak normally. Avoid sticky foods for a day or two if you have a temporary crown.

Are crowns better than fillings?

When a tooth is too damaged for a filling, a crown provides more strength and protection. We'll recommend the right solution based on your needs.

Do you offer metal-free crowns?

Yes. We offer all-ceramic and porcelain crowns that are completely metal-free and safe for patients with sensitivities.
