Dental Crowns in Rome, NY
Protect and restore damaged teeth with crowns you can preview first.
Save the Tooth. Love the Result.
Some dentists place same-day crowns. Get in, get out, done in an hour. Great for their schedule, maybe not great for your result.
Dr. Candido takes a different approach. First, he creates a design showing what your crown will look like. Then you wear a temporary crown for a while — seeing how it looks and feels. If the color's not right, we adjust. Only when you're genuinely happy do we make the permanent crown.
When Do I Need A Crown Instead Of An Inlay Or Onlay?
An inlay or onlay repairs part of a tooth. A crown covers and protects the entire tooth. You typically need a crown when the damage is too large for an inlay or onlay, the tooth is cracked, you've had a root canal, or an old filling is failing.
How Much Does A Dental Crown Cost?
$800-$1,500 per tooth. We're out of network with all insurance plans, but we're happy to help you file for reimbursement — what your plan pays back is up to them. Our membership plan provides 15% off.
How Long Do Dental Crowns Last?
A well-made crown typically lasts 10-15 years, sometimes longer. The lifespan depends on where the crown is (back teeth take more force), whether you grind your teeth, and how well you care for it.
Does Getting A Crown Hurt?
Not during the procedure — we numb the area thoroughly. You may have some sensitivity for a few days after, especially to hot and cold, but it settles down quickly.
