Crowns in Raleigh, NC

Dental crowns are a versatile solution for restoring and strengthening teeth affected by various dental issues. Whether you're dealing with decay, fractures, weakness, wear, or have undergone root canal treatment or implant placement, dental crowns can effectively restore your smile's functionality and aesthetics.

What are dental crowns?

A dental crown is a tooth-shaped covering that encapsulates and protects a damaged or weakened tooth, restoring its strength, shape, and function. Crowns are custom-made to fit seamlessly over the entire visible portion of the tooth, providing both structural support and an aesthetically pleasing appearance.

Indications for Dental Crowns

Teeth that may require a crown include those affected by:

• Decay
• Fractures or breaks
• Weakness or wear
• Root canal treatment
• Dental implants

Treatment Process

The process of receiving a dental crown typically involves several steps:

• Exam/Consultation: We begin with a comprehensive examination to assess your dental health and discuss your treatment options.
• Preparation of Tooth: The affected tooth is prepared by removing any decay or damaged tissue and shaping it to accommodate the crown.
• Digital Scan or Conventional Impression: We take precise impressions of your prepared tooth using advanced digital scanning technology or traditional impression materials.
• Delivery of Crown: Your custom crown is fabricated in our state-of-the-art dental lab or using our advanced in-office milling technology. Once ready, the crown is securely placed over the prepared tooth, restoring its function and appearance.
• Follow-Up Appointment: We schedule a follow-up visit to ensure the crown fits comfortably and functions properly, making any necessary adjustments if needed.

Types of Crowns

At our Raleigh dental office, Dr. Aaron Tropmann, Dr. Gary Oyster, and Dr. Emily Gibson utilize advanced materials to provide patients with durable and aesthetically pleasing crowns. We offer:

• Monolithic Zirconia: Known for its exceptional strength, monolithic zirconia crowns are ideal for patients who grind or clench their teeth. While slightly less aesthetic than other options, zirconia crowns still blend seamlessly with natural teeth.
• Lithium Disilicate (Emax): These crowns offer both strength and esthetics, making them an excellent choice for restoring anterior (front) teeth. Emax crowns provide natural-looking results while maintaining durability.
