Dental Crowns
What Can a Dental Crown Treat?
The flexibility of a custom crown from our practice with dental offices in Coventry and Vernon, CT, can address a range of dental concerns. It is important to keep in mind that a certain amount of healthy tissue is required to effectively place a crown. If a tooth is too compromised to save, our dentists can discuss your options during your next visit to our dental offices.
For patients who qualify for treatment, a dental crown from our dentistry practice can effectively address:
If physical trauma or decay has damaged teeth to the point where they can no longer be repaired with a filling, inlay, or onlay, a tooth can be reinforced by a dental crown.
When decay reaches the inner portion of a tooth, the painful infection may require a root canal. Following treatment, a dental crown can protect the remaining tooth structure.
A smile affected by dental imperfections such as a misshapen tooth or a discolored tooth that doesn't respond to professional whitening can be concealed by a cosmetic crown.
A tooth that cannot be saved can be replaced by a dental implant-supported crown. Dental implants offer unmatched stability, function, and aesthetics when restoring missing teeth.
Vernon Raves About Our Dentistry

Dr. Whidden, aided by the accomplished Norma Jean, made my crown prep today pain-free and entertaining. For a crown or cavity, you would normally be clenching your teeth, if your mouth weren't wide open, right? But I feel, well, relaxed. Whidden is confident, deft and personable. When you trust your dentist and his staff like this, none of it is scary.

At Drs. Hadden and Whidden, LLC, we provide the friendly communities of Vernon and Coventry, CT, with proven treatments performed by expert dentists. For patients experiencing a painful tooth, a crown from our dental practice offers a number of benefits, including:
To best serve the individual needs of our patients, our dentists offer crowns made of porcelain, IPS e.max glass-ceramic, and zirconia. Each of these materials is engineered to withstand normal biting forces and can last a decade or longer with proper care.
When teeth are damaged by trauma or decay, a dental crown can help save your smile. Following treatment, which may include a root canal, a crown is placed over the affected tooth, protecting it from further damage and oftentimes preventing the need for extraction.
The advanced porcelain, glass-ceramic, and zirconia crowns we offer are designed to mimic the light-reflecting properties of natural tooth enamel. Our dentists will carefully color match your new crown to blend in naturally with the surrounding teeth in your smile.

How Long Will My Crown Last?
A crown typically lasts for approximately 15 years, making it one of the best dental investments you can make. Crowns paired with dental implants have a slightly longer lifespan, and the implant itself will last a lifetime. If you're receiving crowns as part of a dental bridge, it's important to know that bridges last around 10 years with good care.
Why Not Just Pull the Tooth?
Some patients mistakenly believe pulling a severely damaged or decayed tooth is smarter than saving it. This is not usually the case. An extraction can lead to more dental issues later on, such as jawbone weakening that endangers even more teeth. Furthermore, while our restorations are incredibly durable, nothing can completely mimic a natural tooth.
