Every smile is unique. We begin with a detailed consultation to understand your specific needs and goals.

We take precise impressions of your teeth, which serve as a blueprint for your custom-made crowns.

Dental insurance policies vary widely. While many insurance plans partially cover crown procedures for restorative purposes, it's essential to check with your specific provider about the extent of coverage and any associated out-of-pocket expenses.
The cost of full mouth crowns varies based on several factors, including the material of the crown, the complexity of the procedure, and any additional treatments required. We recommend scheduling a consultation at Bentwater Cosmetic and Family Dentistry for a detailed estimate.
Typically, it requires at least two visits: one for consultation, tooth preparation, and impression taking, and another for the placement of the permanent crowns. Depending on individual needs and the specifics of the procedure, more visits may be necessary.
Crowns can be crafted from various materials, including porcelain, porcelain fused to metal, ceramic, gold, and other alloys. The choice depends on the patient's specific needs, the tooth's location, and the dentist's recommendation.
Yes, while the crown itself cannot decay, the underlying tooth and the gumline area are still susceptible. It's essential to maintain good oral hygiene and attend regular dental check-ups.
Treat them as you would your natural teeth! Regular brushing, flossing, and routine dental check-ups are crucial. While crowns are resistant to decay, the tooth beneath can still be vulnerable, making oral hygiene paramount.
Modern dentistry aims to make procedures as comfortable as possible. While preparing for crowns, local anesthesia is used to numb the area, ensuring minimal discomfort. Post-procedure, there might be some sensitivity or soreness, but it typically subsides quickly.
Absolutely! Modern dental technology allows for the creation of crowns that closely resemble natural teeth in terms of color, shape, and function. At Bentwater Cosmetic and Family Dentistry, we ensure that crowns are custom-made to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.
With proper care, dental crowns can last anywhere from 10 to 15 years, and sometimes even longer. Their longevity depends on the material used, the wear they experience, and how well they're taken care of.
