Dental Crowns
A tooth that is damaged, decayed, or even just discolored can make you hide your smile.
A dental crown can restore both the function and appearance of a tooth, creating a smile you're proud to share.
Learn how our skilled dentists in Archdale, NC, can provide a dental crown in just one appointment.
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.

Traditional Crowns vs. Same-Day Crowns
Wondering which type of dental crown is right for you? Both same-day and traditional dental crowns are made of porcelain and are excellent options to restore one tooth or multiple teeth. However, one might be a better option depending on your specific needs. During your consultation at our dental practice in Archdale, NC, your dentist will discuss your options and help you determine which type of crown is right for you.

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.

Our family have been patients for about 4 years. Each dentist has always exceeded our expectations with their phenomenal client service and technical abilities. I was just in this week for a chipped tooth - Dr Brad fixed me up quickly - and my response is the result was art meets science! I highly recommend ( and frequently do ) recommend them!
