Dental Crowns
in Greensburg, PA

A dental crown is a small cap that Dr. Kovacevic places over the surface of a damaged tooth to restore its strength and appearance. They’re made from durable, tooth-colored porcelain to ensure a natural appearance and long-lasting results.

This is a significant improvement over metal crowns, the traditional standard until recent years. Porcelain crowns are virtually impossible to distinguish from your surrounding teeth, so no one will even know that you’re wearing a restoration.

Best of all, a dental crown will allow you to eat, speak, and smile with total confidence.

Why Do I Need a Dental Crown?

Dental crowns are versatile and can be used for a variety of reasons. Some of the most common include:

  • Chipped or broken teeth
  • Severely decayed teeth
  • Weakened or worn down teeth
  • Teeth with overly-large fillings

We also use crowns for single-tooth replacement with dental implants.

Dental Crown Candidacy

If your teeth are too damaged for a filling but don’t require extraction, then a dental crown is likely the right treatment for you. Any patient suffering from one or more of the issues above can benefit from a dental crown.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Crowns

Can I whiten a dental crown?
How much do dental crowns cost?
What are my options if my crown has been damaged?
Can I replace gold or metal crowns with a porcelain crown?
Can I whiten a dental crown?

Teeth whitening won’t harm your dental crown, but it won’t be effective because crowns are resistant to bleaching. Since the crown is customized to match the shade of your natural teeth, it may no longer blend in after a whitening treatment. If you want to brighten your smile, we recommend getting it done before we place your crown.

How much do dental crowns cost?

The cost of a dental crown varies significantly depending on the material used for the crown and the nature of your specific treatment. For an accurate estimate, we recommend contacting our office to schedule a consultation with Dr. Kovacevic. During the consultation he’ll examine your oral health and create a customized treatment plan that will include a breakdown of the cost.

Insurance may cover a portion of the expenses. We suggest contacting your provider prior to your appointment for specific information on your coverage. We also offer financing options so you can get the care you need without having to wait. If there are any questions we can answer, don’t hesitate to contact our Greensburg office by calling (724) 836-2433 and a knowledgeable team member will be happy to assist you.

What are my options if my crown has been damaged?

If you damage your crown, it will likely need to be replaced. Do not attempt to fix the crown yourself or glue it back together as this typically causes more problems. Call our office right away and we’ll get you an appointment at your earliest convenience.

Can I replace gold or metal crowns with a porcelain crown?

Yes — many patients choose to replace their old metal crowns with porcelain. If you’re interested in learning more about the benefits of beautiful porcelain crowns, schedule a consultation with Dr. Kovacevic by calling (724) 836-2433.
