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.

Had the best experience with Dr. Veytsman and her entire team. They made the experience easy, made me feel so comfortable throughout the process, and iterated with me to get my desired results for my smile makeover. They’re such a great team and I couldn’t imagine having gone anywhere else.
Dr. V, Celine, & Jessica are truly the dream team!! I spent months researching cosmetic dentists before finding this practice. Seeing examples of Dr. Veytsman’s previous work made me confident in her technical skill, but the whole team is so lovely that the smile makeover process I expected to be stressful and overwhelming turned out to be something I genuinely enjoyed from start to finish! Dr. V is the perfect mix of creative & artistic enough to build the perfect smile for each individual face, skilled enough to make the work quick & painless, and warm enough to make appointments something I actually looked forward to. She, Celine, and Jessica made me feel heard and supported the entire process and their feedback and expertise helped create a smile that was even better than anything I had hoped for. So grateful to benefit from this brilliant group of women’s talent and to be given the absolute GIFT of newfound confidence by creating a smile I’m so proud to show off!
Experiencing a cosmetic dental procedure with Dr. Veytsman was a delight due to her exceptional professionalism and meticulous attention to detail. Her kindness ensures a feeling of safety, and the flexibility to see her in both LA and NYC is a significant advantage. Thanks to her expertise, I now smile with newfound confidence.
I recently got veneers, and could not be more pleased with how they turned out!!!! Dr. Veytsman and her team were sooooo nice and extremely accommodating to my very tight timeline. They always made sure I was well taken care of and completely happy. I am more confident with my smile and no one can ever notice that they are veneers as they look so natural. Dr. Veytsman is amazing at what she does!!!!
Do I Need a Dental Crown?
Manhattan, NY women and men may require placement of a crown to treat a range of oral conditions and to restore proper function and appearance to a tooth. The most common reasons for needing a dental crown include:
- Teeth that have cracks or fractures
- Eroded or worn teeth
- Deeply stained or misshapen teeth
- Moderate areas of tooth decay
- Replacement of large, failing fillings
- Teeth that have received endodontic treatment
- As part of a dental bridge for tooth replacement
- Completion of individual dental implants
At Cosmetic Dental Studios, a crown can be performed for the back and front teeth and can be created from a high-grade ceramic, other natural-looking materials, porcelain, or a precious metal (like gold). Dr. Veytsman can take a look at your tooth and help you choose the ideal type of dental crown procedure for your personal oral health needs and aesthetic preferences.
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.
Frequently Asked Questions
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.
