What Is a Dental Crown?

A dental crown is a porcelain cap that fits over a tooth. This dentistry procedure can help:

Repair a
Damaged Tooth

A crown is designed to provide strength and protection to a damaged tooth. This allows the tooth to look and function like your natural teeth.

After Root
Canal Therapy

During a root canal, an opening is created in the tooth to remove the infected pulp. A dental crown is then placed to protect the tooth structure and prevent further decay.

Replace a
Missing Tooth

For patients missing a single tooth, a porcelain crown can be paired with a dental implant. This restores your oral function and appearance.

Take a Look at How a Dental Crown Works

During this dental procedure, the tooth is reshaped to allow the dental crown to fit properly and blend with your other teeth. A porcelain crown restores both the function and appearance of the tooth.

However, one might be a better choice for you depending on your specific needs. During your consultation at our dental office in Archdale, NC, your dentist will discuss your options and help you determine which type of crown is right for you.

Insurance and Financing

We do not want financial barriers to prevent patients from receiving the care they need. Here is how we help make dental care more accessible at our Archdale practice.

Dental Crown Treatment Timeline

This timeline will vary based on the type of dental crown that is placed. Typically, treatment at our Archdale dental clinic may look like this:

Consultation

Your dentist will examine your mouth and discuss your goals to determine if a crown is the right dentistry option for you.

Preparatory Treatment

If you need preparatory treatment like dental implant placement or a root canal, this must be done first. If you had an implant placed, you will be given time to heal and allow the implant to fuse to your jawbone.

Tooth Prep

Your dentist will prep the tooth by reshaping it. This allows the porcelain crown to fit properly and blend with your other teeth.

Impressions

Using digital technology, your dentist will take impressions of your mouth. These impressions are sent to the CEREC machine or to our in-house lab to craft your crown.

Temporary Crown

Patients who go the traditional route will have a temporary crown placed to protect the natural tooth structure while they wait for their permanent crown.

Crown Created

Your custom crown is crafted of durable porcelain right in our office. Same-day crowns take approximately an hour, and traditional crowns take about two to three weeks.

Crown Placement

The permanent crown is bonded to the tooth structure. Your dentist will make any adjustments to ensure that the crown looks and functions like a natural tooth.

Maintaining Your New Smile

With proper care and maintenance, your dental crown can last 15 years or more. Maintaining your beautifully restored smile is easy. Here are a few tips to help:

Practice Good Oral Hygiene

Be sure to brush your teeth at least twice a day for two minutes. Use a soft bristle brush. Don't forget to floss.

Continue Routine Dental Visits

Routine dental exams and cleanings are important to maintaining oral health. Regular visits at our Archdale, NC, dentistry practice will let our dentists check your teeth for any concerns.

Be Mindful of Certain Foods

Be mindful of hard or sticky foods that may damage your crown. If possible, bite and chew these foods with teeth that do not have a crown or other restoration.

Don't Use Your Teeth as a Tool

Do not use your teeth to open packages or bite your nails. It could damage the porcelain as well as your natural teeth.
