At Spring Hope Family Dentistry, our team offers durable, custom-shaded dental crowns to restore and enhance teeth that have been damaged. Laboratory-fabricated dental crowns offer a precise and durable solution for restoring damaged or missing teeth. These crowns are crafted in a dental laboratory using advanced technology and precise measurements, ensuring a perfect fit and a natural appearance, for top dental crown services in Spring Hope, NC and beyond!
How Do Dental Crowns Work?
Each dental crown is a tooth-shaped cover or cap that is placed over the base of a tooth to restore its shape, size, and strength. The crown fully covers the visible portion of the tooth above the gum line.
Spring Hope Family Dentistry offers crowns that are crafted in a dental laboratory using advanced technology and precise measurements, ensuring a perfect fit and a natural appearance. Made from durable materials such as porcelain or porcelain-fused to metal, lab-fabricated crowns provide long-lasting strength and resistance to wear and tear. Our team can customize your dental crown to match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth, resulting in seamless and aesthetically pleasing tooth restoration.
We offer two types of dental crowns at Spring Hope Family Dental:
Porcelain Dental Crowns
All-porcelain dental crowns offer a highly aesthetic and biocompatible option for restoring damaged or missing teeth. Made entirely from porcelain, these crowns closely mimic the translucency and natural appearance of real teeth. All-porcelain crowns are often preferred by patients who have allergies to metal or who desire a completely metal-free restoration. They are also a popular choice for patients in the front of the mouth where aesthetics are a top priority.
Zirconia Dental Crowns
Zirconia dental crowns are a durable and aesthetically pleasing option for restoring damaged or missing teeth. Made from a strong and biocompatible ceramic material, zirconia crowns offer excellent strength and resistance to wear and tear. They also have a natural appearance that closely mimics the translucency and color of real teeth. Zirconia crowns are a popular choice for both anterior and posterior teeth, and they are often preferred by patients who desire a metal-free restoration.
Is a Dental Crown Right for Me?
Our team at Spring Hope Family Dentistry may recommend a dental crown to:
- Protect a tooth damaged by decay or trauma
- Restore broken teeth
- Support a dental bridge or large filling
- Offer cosmetic smile improvements
- Seal root canal therapy
- Cover a dental implant
There are several options available for the material your crown is made of including porcelain, porcelain fused with metal, gold, and zirconia. Talk to your dentist to determine which is best for your treatment.
Placing Your New Dental Crown
Your dental crown placement will begin with a visit to Spring Hope Family Dentistry for a thorough examination and gentle, comprehensive preparation of the tooth. Once the tooth is prepped, we'll take an impression of the tooth and surrounding teeth to be sent to our dental lab, where they will use the latest technology to craft your new dental crown. Your dentist will place a temporary crown while you are waiting for your new one and provide proper care instructions.
When your crown is ready, you'll return to our Spring Hope dental office to have your temporary crown removed and replaced with your new permanent crown. Our team will take an x-ray to confirm your new crown fits and meets your needs, and an specialized adhesive or cement is used to securely fasten the crown in place. Dr. Abboud advises following your regular oral hygiene routine to properly care for your crown and help your new restoration last!
