One damaged tooth.
One custom cap.
A dental crown covers a damaged or weakened tooth completely, restoring its strength, shape, and appearance. Dr. Andrey Ilyabayev designs and places custom crowns for patients across Bayside, Queens, and the surrounding NY area.
Why You Might Need a Crown
A crown is a tooth-shaped cap that fits completely over an existing tooth or an implant. Dr. Ilyabayev uses crowns to protect weak or fractured teeth, restore a tooth after a root canal, cap a dental implant, anchor a bridge, or make cosmetic changes to a tooth’s shape or color.
Getting Your Crown, Faster
Traditional crowns typically require two visits: one to prepare the tooth and take an impression, and a second weeks later to place the finished crown, with a temporary in between. Because Bayside Dental Arts maintains an in-house dental lab with 3D printing and milling equipment, Dr. Ilyabayev can often design and fabricate many crowns without sending your case out and waiting on a return shipment.
Frequently Asked Questions
What Are Crowns Made Of?
Crowns can be made from ceramic, porcelain, porcelain fused to metal, or metal alloys. Dr. Ilyabayev will recommend a material based on which tooth is being restored and your cosmetic goals.
Does Getting a Crown Hurt?
The tooth is numbed with local anesthetic before any preparation begins, so the procedure itself is not painful. Some sensitivity in the days after is normal and typically resolves quickly.
How Long Do Crowns Last?
With good oral hygiene and regular checkups, crowns often last a decade or longer. Avoiding hard foods like ice and hard candy helps protect them from chips and cracks.
Does Insurance Cover Crowns?
Coverage varies by plan and by why the crown is needed. Bayside Dental Arts works with PPO insurance and offers financing through CareCredit, Cherry, and LendingClub.
