Dr. Olson will guide you through every step of the process — helping you select the right option for lasting function and a confident, healthy smile.
Before & After Results
Frequently asked questions
When would I need a dental crown?
A crown is typically recommended when a tooth is severely decayed, cracked, has a large filling, or has been treated with a root canal. Crowns are also used to anchor dental bridges and to restore dental implants.
What materials are used for crowns?
Dr. Olson offers crowns made from porcelain, ceramic, and metal alloys — chosen based on the location of the tooth, aesthetic goals, and functional requirements. Porcelain and ceramic crowns are matched to the color of your natural teeth.
How long do dental crowns last?
With good oral hygiene and regular dental visits, crowns typically last 10 to 15 years or longer. Avoid chewing hard objects or grinding your teeth to extend the life of your crown.
How many visits does it take to get a crown?
Most crowns require two appointments. At the first visit Dr. Olson prepares the tooth and takes an impression. A temporary crown protects the tooth while your permanent crown is fabricated, which is placed at your second visit.
