How a Dental Crown Restores Your Smile

A dental crown is a custom-fitted cap that covers the visible portion of a tooth, from the gumline up, restoring it to its original size, shape, and function. Crowns are used in a variety of situations, including protecting a cracked or fractured tooth, restoring a tooth after a large cavity or root canal, and covering a dental implant. They are made to match the color of your surrounding teeth, so the result blends in naturally rather than standing out.

At our North Andover office, many patients qualify for a same-day crown thanks to CEREC technology. Dr. Demetriou takes a digital scan of the tooth, designs the crown using that scan, and mills it right in the office from a high-quality ceramic block, all in about ten minutes. The crown is then placed the same day, which means no temporary crown, no second trip across town, and no waiting on an outside lab. For more complex cases, a traditional crown made over two appointments may be the better option, and Dr. Demetriou will always recommend what is right for your specific tooth.

How Long Do Crowns Last

With proper care, dental crowns typically last 10 to 15 years or longer. Good daily hygiene, regular checkups, and avoiding habits that put excessive stress on a crown, such as chewing ice or grinding your teeth at night, all help extend that lifespan. Dr. Demetriou has been placing and restoring crowns for nearly 40 years, which means your crown is shaped precisely for your bite from the start.
