Step into the regal realm of dental care, where the majesty of your smile is crowned with the timeless strength and beauty of our bespoke dental crowns – a testament to the artistry of human touch and the brilliance of modern dentistry.
Dental crowns are restorations for fractured or severely decayed teeth beyond dental bonding and fillings. They consist of a tooth-shaped cap the dentist creates after taking impressions of your tooth. The dentist installs the cap over your tooth to protect the sensitive parts beneath the tooth. At Dental Haven, we design our crowns to resemble your natural teeth, so they remain discreet and blend with the other teeth.
Dental Crowns can have built-in sensors? These tiny sensors can monitor and collect real-time data on factors like bite force, temperature, and even pH levels in the mouth. By providing valuable feedback to both the patient and the dentist, these smart crowns contribute to better oral health management and early detection of potential issues.

We offer high-quality lab-made dental crowns made from premium porcelain, ceramic, fold, or nickel. You’ll liaise with Dr. Girmscheid for the best choice of crown material for your specific needs and budgets. We fix these crowns in two sessions: the first involves taking impressions of your teeth, while the second involves installing the actual crowns.
The first step in getting dental crowns is a consultation with Dr. Girmscheid. This consultation involves examining your teeth, specifically the extent of the fracture or decay, to determine the viability of crowns for your dental issue. If so, your dentist in Franklin will create a treatment plan and help you choose the best type of crown for your teeth.
Next, Dr. Girmscheid will inject lidocaine into the gums near the affected tooth to numb it and prepare your tooth by removing any decayed or loose fragments. Once the fragments are removed, she'll press dental putty on the affected tooth to get its impressions and create a mold. Alternatively, she may use a 3D digital scanner or intra-oral scanner to achieve the same.
Dr. Girmscheid will send the impressions to a lab to manufacture your custom crown. Manufacturing takes about two weeks, after which she’ll call you in to fit the dental crown. During fitting, Dr. Girmscheid will place the crown on the affected tooth and check whether it fits and matches the rest of the teeth. If everything checks out,she’ll apply dental adhesive on the crown, place it on the tooth and cure it with a special light to secure it to the tooth.
Recovery after getting dental crowns usually takes a few days, but longer if you had complications during the procedure. While recovering, it’s important to avoid hard foods that may break the dental crowns. You should also avoid chewing with the side containing the dental crowns and contact the dentist should you feel pain after the procedure.
The process for getting a dental crown typically involves two visits to Dental Haven. During the first visit, Dr. Girmscheid will prepare your tooth for the crown, take impressions, and place a temporary crown to protect your tooth until the permanent one is ready. The impressions are sent to a dental lab where your custom crown is created. Once the crown is ready, you'll return for your second visit. Dr. Girmscheid will remove the temporary crown and cement the permanent one in place, ensuring a comfortable fit and a natural look.
The longevity of a dental crown can vary depending on several factors, including the material of the crown, your oral hygiene habits, and the amount of wear and tear the crown is exposed to. On average, dental crowns can last between 5 to 15 years. However, with excellent oral hygiene and regular check-ups at Dental Haven, they can last even longer. It's important to treat a crowned tooth just like your other teeth with regular brushing and flossing to ensure its longevity.
Getting a dental crown is generally not a painful experience. Before preparing your tooth for the crown, Dr. Megan Girmscheid will numb the area with local anesthesia to ensure you feel no discomfort during the procedure. You may experience some sensitivity or mild discomfort after the anesthesia wears off, but this is usually manageable with over-the-counter pain relievers. If you experience any prolonged pain or discomfort after receiving your dental crown, contact Dental Haven right away so that Dr. Girmscheid can assess the issue and provide appropriate treatment.
Caring for your dental crown is similar to caring for your natural teeth. It's essential to maintain good oral hygiene habits, including brushing twice a day with a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste, flossing daily, and using an antiseptic mouthwash. Pay special attention to the area where the crown meets the gumline, as this is where plaque and bacteria can accumulate. It's also important to avoid biting or chewing on hard objects, such as ice or hard candies, as this can damage or dislodge your crown. Regular check-ups and cleanings at Dental Haven will help ensure your crown remains in good condition and allow Dr. Girmscheid to detect any issues early on.
The cost of dental crowns can vary depending on several factors, such as the material used, the location of the tooth, and your insurance coverage. At Dental Haven, we understand that cost is an important consideration for our patients. We strive to provide transparent pricing information and will work with you to find a solution that fits your budget. We accept a variety of insurance plans and offer financing options to help make dental crowns more affordable. During your consultation with Dr. Megan Girmscheid, we will provide you with a detailed cost estimate based on your specific needs and discuss payment options available to you.
