How crowns work

A dental crown protects and wraps a damaged tooth like a snuggly cap (some people call it caps but crown sounds fancy, right?) A well applied crown will permanently protect a damaged tooth and give you an almost natural smile.

The process of applying crowns

  • Crowns are everlasting. It's like building a house on a damaged foundation to place a crown on a damaged tooth. Until we can consider putting a crown on, we have to make sure that the tooth will sustain it. We use X-Rays to determine decay. When the tooth shows signs of an infection, we will have you working for assessment with one of our specialists.
  • Your new crown will be the same size as the tooth it protects, meaning we'll need to remove some of your current tooth to match the crown. For a permanent crown, the dentist must numb the region around the tooth and then form the tooth to the correct size. If you want a bridge, either side of your missing tooth we'll prepare the teeth.
  • Your dentist would get an idea of your upper and lower teeth and the crown should blend in with your smile.
  • Your teeth, particularly their color and how they handle the light, are unique to you. It's necessary to build a crown that suits the natural look of your teeth.
  • The dentist will place a temporary, resin crown over the tooth while creating your permanent crown.
  • When your permanent crown is ready it will be tested by your dentist for fit and look. The dentist will test the bite once it's in place and make final changes.

How long can a crown last?

A crown's average lifespan is around 10 years, but crowns will last a lifetime well-cared for. When you get a crown, then plan for years to come to smile on.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I can’t say enough wonderful things about the team at Affordable Dentist! On Abrams Rd. Ate 125. My experience was exceptional from start to finish. Dr. Memon, Arlletha, and Annliah treated me with so much kindness, professionalism, and genuine care. I’m so afraid of needles and They made me feel comfortable the entire time and took away the fear and anxiety I had before my appointment. Dr. Memon was absolutely amazing. He was incredibly gentle when giving my injections, constantly checked on me, and made sure I was comfortable throughout the procedure. His calm and caring approach made all the difference. Arles and Annliah were just as incredible. They were welcoming, compassionate, and supportive, making me feel like more than just another patient. Their positive attitudes and excellent customer service truly stood out. If you’re looking for a dental office where you’ll be treated with respect, compassion, and outstanding care, I highly recommend Affordable Dentist. Thank you, Dr. Memon, Arletga, and Annliah, for making what could have been a stressful visit such a wonderful experience. You all are truly the best!

I did not appreciate this dentist office. It was my first and last visit appointment I made. The wait was long, the building was falling apart, and I had to leave and come back same day to see the doctor because of scheduling conflict. The staff was so sweet and answered my questions kindly. But I got no cleaning, or even scraping just a looking at my teeth and said I was good. Next time I book with dentist of Arlington (which was my old dentist I'm going back to, great place, highly recommend them) I will be sure it's a check up AND a cleaning, though they usually but give me both in one appointment for the same price. After this dentist appointment, they made me give them a 5 star review with a weird AL website that formulates a good review. I quickly deleted it because what is that. Staff are kind, but I would not recommend this office.

I had a great experience at this dentist office. Palette at the front desk was very friendly and welcoming. Ailynn, the dental assistant, and Dr. Sabir were both kind, patient, and thorough. They explained everything in detail and answered all of my questions, which made me feel very comfortable. I would highly recommend this office.

I began using Dr. Jean Tuggy 29 years ago and I've remained with her practice through the years. I now see Dr. Leslie Tuggy and I'm so pleased to be her patient. She is smart and kind and caring. She listens, really listens, and I love that. The women who greet you in the front office are efficient and courteous. They are the face of this practice and they do a great job at making everyone who walks in feel like they SEE you and you matter. I gave this practice a 5 star rating. If there were 10 stars I would give them a 10.
