Dental Crowns in Mooresville, NC – Restore Strength & Beauty to Your Smile

What Is a Dental Crown?

A dental crown is a tooth-shaped “cap” that is placed over a damaged or weakened tooth. It covers the visible portion of the tooth above the gumline, restoring its shape, size, strength, and appearance.

Dental crowns may be recommended for:

• Protecting a cracked or broken tooth
  
• Restoring a tooth with deep decay or a large filling
  
• Strengthening a tooth after root canal therapy
  
• Topping a dental implant
  
• Enhancing the appearance of worn or misshapen teeth
  

Types of Dental Crowns We Offer

We offer a variety of crown materials to suit both cosmetic and functional needs:

Porcelain or Ceramic Crowns

Ideal for front teeth due to their natural translucency and color-matching capabilities. A great option when aesthetics are the priority.

Zirconia Crowns

Known for exceptional strength and durability, zirconia crowns are perfect for molars or patients with strong bites or grinding issues.

Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM) Crowns

These combine the strength of a metal base with the cosmetic benefits of a porcelain outer layer. A good choice when both strength and aesthetics are needed.

We’ll guide you through the best choice during your exam based on the tooth’s location, function, and your cosmetic goals.

The Dental Crown Procedure

Step 1: Comprehensive Evaluation

We begin with an exam and digital imaging to assess the condition of your tooth and determine the best type of crown.

Step 2: Tooth Preparation

We gently shape the tooth to create space for the crown. If necessary, we may build up the tooth with filling material for added support.

Step 3: Digital Impressions & Temporary Crown

We take highly accurate impressions using a digital scanner and place a temporary crown to protect your tooth while your final crown is crafted.

Step 4: Crown Placement

Once your crown is ready, we remove the temporary, check the fit and bite, and cement the permanent crown in place for a secure, comfortable, and beautiful restoration.

Caring for Your Crown

A dental crown doesn’t require special maintenance, but excellent oral hygiene is key to protecting the underlying tooth.

Tips for crown longevity:

• Brush twice a day and floss daily
  
• Avoid biting into ice or hard candies
  
• Use a nightguard if you grind your teeth
  
• Schedule regular cleanings and exams
  

Most dental crowns last 10–15 years, and often longer with proper care.
