Dental Crowns in Fullerton, CA
What are Dental Crowns?
Crowns (often referred to as “caps”) are custom-made restorations that cover the entire visible portion of a tooth. They’re typically recommended when a tooth is too worn down, cracked, or damaged to be repaired with a filling alone. Crowns help restore strength, function, and appearance, giving the tooth the protection it needs to last.

If you have any questions about dental crowns, we’ve got answers.
With proper care, a dental crown typically lasts 10 to 15 years—and many last even longer. In fact, with excellent oral hygiene and regular checkups, it’s not uncommon for crowns to stay strong and functional for 20 years or more.
It’s normal to experience some sensitivity after your tooth is reshaped for a crown. As the nerve adjusts, you might feel discomfort, especially with hot or cold foods but these symptoms usually fade within a few days or weeks after we place your permanent crown. If the sensitivity continues, Dr. Zhang can check your bite and make any needed adjustments to ensure your crown fits comfortably.
Getting a dental crown feels about the same as having a routine filling. We start by numbing the area to keep you completely comfortable while we prepare your tooth. If you feel anxious, we also offer sedation options to help you relax. After your visit, you might notice slight soreness around the injection site or in your jaw, but this usually fades quickly.
You’ll wear a temporary crown between your preparation appointment and the placement of your permanent crown. Temporary crowns aren’t as strong, so they can come loose if you chew sticky foods or floss too aggressively around them.
Once we place your permanent crown, you can floss normally—it’s securely bonded to your tooth. We still recommend avoiding very sticky foods to keep it in great shape. If a permanent crown ever comes off, it’s usually due to underlying decay, which is why regular checkups are so important.
The cost of a dental crown can vary based on the material used, the number of crowns needed, and whether the tooth requires additional support like a build-up. Insurance benefits may also lower your out-of-pocket costs. On average, a crown can range from $500 to $2,000 per tooth.
At Fullerton Smile Dentistry, we make pricing clear and stress-free. Our team provides a detailed treatment plan that includes all fees, estimated insurance coverage, and available financing options—so you know exactly what to expect before starting treatment.
Dental crowns are built to last, but they still need proper care to stay in great shape. Make sure to brush around your crown twice a day and floss daily—flossing won’t loosen a permanent crown, but skipping it can lead to plaque buildup around the edges. That buildup can cause decay, gum disease, and even crown failure over time.
To keep your crown and overall oral health on track, schedule regular checkups and cleanings at Fullerton Smile Dentistry at least twice a year so we can make sure everything is holding up well and catch any issues early.
