Porcelain dental crowns offer many patients a second lease on life, or at the very least, their smile. For many, the loss of teeth or damage to their natural teeth can be debilitating. At Awesome Smiles, we offer a full range of services to combat any issues you may have, such as damage, discoloration, or even a root canal, and address any dental care you may need. This includes same-day dental implants, scaling and root planing, and porcelain dental crowns.

Types Of Dental Crowns

Your dentist will use mainly two types of crowns – temporary and permanent. The primary reason for having a temporary crown done is to cover the tooth while you wait for your permanent custom-made crown to be ready. These temporary crowns do not last longer than about two to three weeks, but they aren’t meant to. At Awesome Smiles we have a in house master ceramist creates your perfectly crafted porcelain crown right in the office the same day your tooth is prepared. This is so there is no long waiting periods for the patient to have to wait a week or two for the case to come back from an off-site laboratory.

How long do Porcelain Crowns Last?

A porcelain crown will last on average five to fifteen years. The longevity and lifespan of your crowns are determined through lifestyle and oral hygiene practices, and if proper care is maintained, it can extend the life of your crowns up to about 25 years.

It’s Time To Replace Your Crown – Here’s How To Tell

There are a number of telltale signs that can alert you to the fact that it is time to have your crowns seen to. Here are some symptoms that require immediate attention:

  • Cracks
  • Pain
  • Loss (crown falls out)
  • Tooth sensitivity
  • Movement of the crown
  • Gaps where food and debris gets stuck
  • Lack of aesthetic appeal (it no longer looks good)
  • Visible signs of decay (this could be visual or radiographical)
  • Receding gums
  • Old age (your crowns are old and reaching the end of their lifespan)

It is important to see to any of the issues above promptly since the failure to replace your crowns in a timely manner can lead to an increased risk of dental disease and decay and can cause irreparable harm down the line.

How To Take Care Of Your Crowns So They Last

First things first, kick the bad habits. Poor dental health can seriously shorten the lifespan of your crowns through damage and wear and tear. Chewing on hard objects such as ice or even fingernails causes damage to both your crowns and your natural teeth. Grinding and clenching of the jaw is also a damage-causing habit. Smoking, acidic drinks, and sugar are also not recommended.

As for the good habits, ensure that you follow the guidelines of proper brushing technique and regularity (twice a day). Make sure to floss and ensure that plaque and food particles are removed effectively and safely. Wear a protective mouthguard, opt for fluoride toothpaste, and visit your dentist annually or as recommended.

Awesome Smiles is by far the best office I've experience. Being in the dental field myself, I can appreciate the professionalism of the office. The dentist and hygienist are very thorough and detailed. I look forward to coming in for my routine checkups and have made Awesome Smiles my home...

If I could give Awesome Smiles negative stars, I would. My experience here was an absolute train wreck, and it all comes down to the rude and incompetent Patricia Viriato.

First, I was told I needed a deep cleaning, and this so-called "professional" had the nerve to claim my insurance would only cover a measly 20%. When I called my insurance directly, they informed me I was actually covered for 85%—what a shocker! When I confronted Patricia about her blatant lie, she just doubled down, insisting it was still 20%. It was like talking to a wall made of ignorance.

Feeling pressured and trapped, I reluctantly agreed to fork over $900 upfront, believing I could get reimbursed later. They even coerced me into making a down payment right then and there.

To make matters worse, my insurance denied the claim because Awesome Smiles didn’t even perform the necessary periodontal charting. Seriously, how incompetent can one office be?

When I returned to demand a refund, Patricia acted as if I was the problem. Her attitude was dismissive and infuriating. She couldn’t accept that she messed everything up. After I insisted on speaking to a manager, I was finally told they would process a refund—but honestly, it felt like they were just trying to brush me off.

Do yourself a favor and avoid Awesome Smiles like the plague. Patricia is a prime example of everything wrong with customer service—rude, uninformed, and completely unhelpful. Save your time, money, and sanity—go anywhere else!

I can't say enough good things about Dr. Isabelle and Ana! They made me feel so comfortable during my visits, which was a relief since I was a bit nervous about the amount of work I needed done. They turned what could have been a stressful experience into a wonderful one, and I truly appreciate it. They also worked with my busy schedule, and the front desk staff was incredibly friendly. I highly recommend this place—everyone I interacted with was just fantastic!

My visits here have been great! Friendly, kind staff and they made me feel comfortable from the start to finish. The service quality is truly exceptional! I'm very happy with my visits! Dental assistant Manny is very attentive and kind!
The only exception is I wish if they promise incentives to their patients for bringing new patients that they would follow through on their promise.

I am literally the biggest baby when it comes to having to go to the dentist. I am just always so nervous and scared of any and everything. The staff and doctors at Awesome Smiles totally put me at ease. I felt greeted and like a VIP from the moment I walked in the door. Dr Isabelle Morris was my Doctor and she was very patient very understanding and kept me at ease the entire time. This has been my most memorable experience at a dentist's office and I feel encouraged to follow my treatment plan. I would definitely recommend this office and will be bringing my entire family here. Another great thing is their hours of operation 8am to 8pm so so convenient. Highly Recommended.. Latoya

I can't say enough about the fabulous experience I had with Dr. Michelle Luis. A true professional in every sense, she is compassionate, empathetic, and possesses a gift that immediately puts you at ease. Her treatment approach is truly collaborative, and she never pressured me to proceed until I was ready to do so. Her skill is unmatched, attention to detail is unparalleled, and - as someone who loathes visiting the dentist - possesses such a gentle touch, that I was never reminded that I was sitting in a dentist's chair. A finer dental experience I have yet to experience. If anyone were to ask, I would certainly recommend they see Dr. Michelle Luis as quickly as they can.

The team at Awesome Smiles provides a warm and inviting atmosphere, where as going to the dentist traditionally has a negative connotation. All of the staff members are friendly and easy to get a long with. In fact, they all remember my name without hesitation. They took good care of my brother and myself. They recommended me to do the Invisalign and I am really enjoying the progress thus far with my treatment and their care.

I called originally for my partner to get a Root Canal done as an emergency visit. Awesome Smiles, was extremely accommodating to get him in next day. Other dental offices were wanting Full Payment on the day of procedure. Awesome Smiles was willing to work with us on a strict budget, we didn't have to pay for the initial visit. My partner got the Root Canal done, and then we went back a week later for the Crown to be put on. The energy of the whole office is very upbeat and everyone makes you feel as though your NOT going to a dull and boring dentist's office. We would definitely recommend to everyone. A+++++++.

I highly recommend Awesome Smiles. I have an infection in my wisdom tooth and my consultation was completely free. Got a cheap script for antibiotics until I get all 4 of my messed up wisdom teeth taken out next week and they offer non credit check payments that are reasonable. Dental work can be super expensive but what they quoted me without insurance, I feel like this is a God send and probably the best price I’ve ever seen for what I need. Everybody there from reception (Isabella) to radiology (Jasmine) to my dentist Dr.Sunny was amazing and caring. I was a bit anxious going in cause of poor treatment by medical professionals in the past, but the low cost for amazing service put me at ease immediately and I look forward to going back.
