With good care, a porcelain or ceramic crown can last for many years. Brushing twice a day, flossing, and keeping up with regular checkups all help your crown hold up over time. Grinding your teeth or biting down on hard objects like ice can shorten its lifespan, so let us know if this is a concern for you.

Benefits of Porcelain & Ceramic Crowns
A dental crown is a custom-made cap that fits over a damaged or weakened tooth to protect it and restore its shape. Porcelain and ceramic crowns are a common choice because they blend in with the rest of your smile and hold up well to everyday biting and chewing. As part of our full range of restorative dentistry services, a well-made crown can help you:
- Protect a tooth that is cracked, broken, or worn down from grinding
- Cover and strengthen a tooth after a root canal
- Support a tooth that has a large filling and needs extra reinforcement
- Improve the shape, size, or color of a tooth that stands out
- Chew, speak, and smile with more comfort and confidence
Porcelain and ceramic crowns are made to match the natural color of your teeth, so they blend in rather than draw attention. Many patients tell us they forget which tooth had the crown once healing is complete.
What to Expect During Your Crown Procedure
Getting a crown at Berry Road Dental usually begins with an exam and, when needed, a digital X-ray so Dr. Croom or Dr. Roberts can check the health of the tooth and the bone around it. Next, the tooth is gently reshaped to make room for the crown. We then take a digital scan or impression, which is used to design a crown that fits your bite comfortably. While your permanent crown is being made, you will wear a temporary crown to protect the tooth and keep your smile looking normal in the meantime.
Crown Timing and Your Schedule
Our team will walk you through the timeline for your crown so you know exactly what to expect and can plan around your schedule. For most patients, the process involves a first visit to prepare the tooth and a short second visit to place the finished crown.
What Happens If You Wait to Treat a Damaged Tooth
A cracked, decayed, or badly worn tooth rarely improves on its own. Left alone, small problems tend to grow into bigger ones. Decay can spread deeper into the tooth, sometimes reaching the nerve and making a root canal necessary where a crown alone might have been enough. In some cases, waiting too long means a tooth that could have been saved eventually needs to be replaced with a bridge or another restoration. If you are dealing with a sudden crack, break, or toothache, our same-day emergency appointments are there to get you seen quickly, before a small issue turns into a bigger one.

Porcelain Crown Cost & Insurance Coverage in Norman, OK
The cost of a porcelain crown depends on several things, including which tooth needs treatment, the material used, and whether any other work is needed first, such as a filling or root canal. We accept a wide range of PPO insurance plans, including Delta Dental, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, United Concordia, GEHA, and several others, and many of these plans cover a portion of crown treatment. Before we begin, our team will review your benefits with you and explain your out-of-pocket cost in plain language, not confusing dental terms. For patients without insurance, or for costs insurance does not cover, we also offer financing options to help spread out payments. Visit our insurance and financing page to learn more about how we help make treatment affordable for your budget.

Contact Us with any questions before your visitFrequently Asked Questions
Many PPO dental plans cover part of the cost of a crown, especially when it is needed to protect or rebuild a damaged tooth rather than for cosmetic reasons alone. Coverage amounts and waiting periods vary by plan, so our team checks your benefits ahead of time and explains your costs clearly before any treatment starts.
Most patients feel little to no discomfort during a crown procedure because we numb the area beforehand. Some mild sensitivity to hot, cold, or pressure is normal for a few days afterward and usually fades on its own. Our gentle team takes the time to make sure you are comfortable throughout every step of your visit.
