Dental Crowns in Manhattan, NY
what ARE Dental Crowns?
Crowns are very strong, durable covers that fit snugly over the entire tooth to hide cosmetic issues like broken teeth, deep discoloration, or large, dark fillings, while also providing strength to the tooth structure. They're often used on teeth that have had root canals to cover up the discoloration that usually follows a root canal and to help provide additional strength to the tooth, which may have been weakened by the removal of the interior pulp. They're also used in bridge procedures to provide strength and protection to the teeth used to support a bridge. During the consultation, general and cosmetic dentist, Dr. Victoria Veytsman, will discuss the patient’s crown options and develop a treatment plan based on their needs. As part of Dr. Veytsman's commitment to patient safety, Cosmetic Dental Studios in Manhattan, New York is a metal and mercury free practice.

Do I Need a Dental Crown?

How Are Dental Crowns Performed?
A dental crown usually takes 2 appointments to complete. During the first appointment, Dr. Veytsman will prepare the tooth for the crown, take impressions of the tooth for the permanent crown, and place a temporary crown over the tooth to protect it. The impressions are sent to a dental laboratory where a customized crown(s) will be created for the patient. Once the crowns arrive back at the Cosmetic Dental Studios, the patient can schedule an appointment to have their permanent crown(s) fitted and set by Dr. Veytsman.
Dental Crowns Reviews
Victoria Veytsman and her team are super professional. I visited her office after Dr. Diamond recommended to get my dental crown done at her clinic. They guided me through the process of making the crown, and now I am a happy client, with plans to continue visiting her office. Thank you so much!
Full mouth reconstruction here. Wow is all I can say. I’ll post my pictures below if you don’t believe me but the transformation is unreal. I just can’t put into words how life changing this has been and also how well I was treated during this process. Dr. V, Jessica, and her whole staff have been absolutely amazing to me. Kind, compassionate, caring, and hard working the entire time. They did laser gum recontouring, crowns, implants, and reconstructed my bite. Yeah, a lot of work. They are the best in the cosmetic dental game. You cannot go wrong choosing them. I’m in debt to them being able to smile with confidence again. You can’t put a price on it. Love you guys and THANK YOU!!!!!

Dr. Veytsman and her team were fantastic through the entire process of getting implants. They look fantastic! They took their time in aiming to bring perfection and did not mind if that meant additional appointments. My temporary implants even broke (which is normal) and Dr. V's team went to quickly to work to bringing back a happy smile on my face. I easily recommend Dr. V to all my friends.

What Should I expect After Dental Crowns?
Patients do not usually have any pain after a crown is placed, but some patients experience discomfort or tooth sensitivity. Depending on the material, crowns can last from 7 – 40 years. Patients can extend the life of their crown by practicing good oral hygiene and visiting Cosmetic Dental Studios for regular exams and cleanings. If oral health is neglected, the tooth under the crown may develop a cavity or infection that will require more extensive treatment, like a root canal.
What Are the Anticipated Costs of Dental Crowns?
The total cost of a dental crown will depend on the materials used, as well as the amount of teeth treated, their condition, size, and location. Dr. Veytsman will go over estimated costs and financing options during the patient’s consultation and the front office can check with the patient’s insurance to determine if any of their costs are covered.

Dental Crowns FAQs
When does a tooth typically need a dental crown?
Dental crowns both protect and preserve a tooth that has been weakened or worn down and provide a natural-looking aesthetic improvement. Dental crowns are also used as part of a dental bridge to anchor it in the mouth. Typically, Dr. Veytsman may recommend a dental crown for teeth that are:
- Decayed
- Cracked
- Worn down
- Chipped
- Discolored
- Misshapen
Will my dental crown look natural or fake?
Dr. Veytsman takes special care when creating a dental crown to make sure the shade, shape, and color of the crown match the natural teeth in your smile — so that it blends in and nobody will know you have a dental crown but you. These crowns will look as natural as possible due to Dr. Veytsman's expertise.
Is getting a dental crown painful?
While there is some tooth preparation necessary to place a dental crown, Dr. Veytsman will use a local anesthetic to numb to the treatment area to keep you comfortable during the procedure. After a crown is placed, some patients may have some mild tooth sensitivity as the tooth adjusts to the new crown, but this is easily managed and typically goes away quickly.
How long does a typical dental crown usually last?
With good oral hygiene and regular dental visits, most patients can expect their crown to last up to 10 years or longer. You can extend the life of your crowns by maintaining an oral hygiene regimen approved by Dr. Veytsman, as well as avoiding certain foods, like popcorn and sticky candies, that can wear the crowns down more quickly.
How many appointments are needed to get a dental crown?
Most dental crowns are placed in two appointments — one to prepare the tooth and another to place the permanent crown. Between the two appointments, patients wear a temporary crown. If you have any questions about the installation process, please contact our Manhattan, NY office today.
Can dental crowns be replaced if damaged or worn?
Yes, dental crowns can be replaced if they become damaged or worn or if there are changes in oral health or aesthetics over time. Our dental team at Cosmetic Dental Studios can evaluate the condition of the crown and recommend replacement if necessary to ensure optimal function and appearance.
