What is a dental crown?

A crown is a custom cap that covers a tooth that's cracked, worn down, or weakened by a large filling or a root canal. At Bevan Dental, dental crowns in Napa are designed to protect what's left of your natural tooth and give you back a strong, comfortable bite.

When you might need a crown

  • A cracked or broken tooth
  • A large filling that's failing
  • A tooth weakened after a root canal
  • A badly worn or discolored tooth

If a smaller repair like a filling will do the job, Dr. Bevan will tell you.

Porcelain and gold crowns

Most of our crowns are natural-looking porcelain, shade-matched to your teeth. We also offer gold crowns, which are extremely strong and gentle on the teeth they bite against. Every crown is handcrafted by experienced dental labs, including Avondale Dental Laboratory.

What to expect

  1. Preparing the tooth. We numb the area fully and shape the tooth.
  2. A digital scan. A quick iTero scan replaces goopy impression trays.
  3. A temporary crown. You'll wear it while your custom crown is made.
  4. Your final crown. We check the fit and bite, then bond it in place.

Our 2-year warranty

We stand behind our work. Our crowns come with a 2-year warranty. Learn what helps crowns last in How long do dental crowns last?

Crown FAQs
What is a dental crown, and when do I need one?

A crown is a custom cap that covers a tooth that's cracked, worn down, or weakened by a large filling or a root canal. It restores the tooth's strength so you can chew comfortably again. If a smaller repair will do the job, Dr. Bevan will tell you.

Does getting a crown hurt?

No. We numb the area fully, so most people feel only a little pressure. The tooth may feel tender for a day or two afterward. If you're nervous, tell us and we'll go at your pace.

How many visits does a crown take?

Usually two. At the first visit we shape the tooth, take a quick iTero digital scan with no goopy impression trays, and place a temporary crown. When your custom crown is ready, we check the fit and bond it in place.

What are your crowns made of?

Most of our crowns are natural-looking porcelain, and we also offer gold, which is very strong and gentle on the teeth it bites against. Our crowns are handcrafted by experienced dental labs, including Avondale Dental Laboratory.

How long does a dental crown last?

With good care, many crowns last for many years. Brushing, cleaning between your teeth, and regular cleanings keep the tooth underneath healthy. Our post How long do dental crowns last? covers what makes the biggest difference.

I was told I need several crowns. Can I get a second opinion?

Yes. Dr. Bevan offers a free second opinion. He'll look at your situation and tell you honestly what he sees, including what can wait. There's no pressure to start treatment with us.

Does insurance cover dental crowns?

Most PPO plans cover part of a crown when it's needed to protect a damaged tooth. We accept all major PPO plans, and CareCredit lets you pay over time.
