Dental Crowns
The best dental work is the kind you don’t notice.
Élan designs dental crowns that look and feel like your natural teeth.
What are tooth crowns or caps?
A dental crown restores and protects your natural tooth that has been weakened, damaged, or cracked. It lays on top of and surrounds the portion of your natural tooth that is visible above the gumline. A variety of durable materials are used to fabricate a tooth crown, such as:
- Porcelain Crowns
- Ceramic Crowns
- Zirconia Crowns
- Gold Crowns
How long does it take to place a crown (procedure)?
Dental crowns typically require two appointments as a custom dental crown takes time to design, but you’ll never be without a tooth. The restorative work is completed at your first appointment and a temporary crown is placed. At your second appointment, your permanent crown will be cemented and carefully adjusted, ensuring it feels just as good, if not better, than your natural tooth.
What can dental crowns fix (capabilities)?
Dental crowns are an excellent treatment option to restore damaged or broken natural teeth. Patients who have recently undergone root canal treatment may also benefit from a dental crown, as this particular procedure leaves natural teeth more susceptible to fractures.
If a tooth is too badly damaged and/or a patient needs an extraction, then dental implants could be the best solution to replace the missing tooth.

- Frequently Asked Questions
How much do dental crowns cost?
On average, dental crowns in Tulsa can cost between $700-$1,500 per tooth. However, the cost of dental crowns can vary depending on materials used and the state of your natural tooth. For instance, broken teeth occasionally require extra support for crown longevity, which is provided by rebuilding your natural tooth structure at the same time. Before any treatment begins, the team at Élan will review treatment plan costs, including insurance coverage and interest-free payment options.
Do you offer CEREC same day crowns?
Élan uses a boutique, high-quality lab for all their crowns, bridges, and veneers. Instead of a machine designing your tooth, a master ceramist carefully constructs a custom crown by hand, ensuring it blends seamlessly with your other teeth and feels most like your natural tooth.
How long do crowns last?
With proper care and healthy habits, dental crowns can last 10-15 years or more. Be sure to inform your dentist if you grind or clench your teeth, have an abnormally strong bite, or have any other concerns that may affect the overall design of your dental crown.
Do you have to place a crown after a root canal?
Yes, a tooth with a root canal must have a crown. A root canal can be performed through an existing dental crown, but if your root canaled tooth was left without a crown, schedule an appointment with your cosmetic dentist for an immediate crown restoration. A tooth that has a root canal but not a crown is at high risk of fracture, which can lead to an extraction.
