Restorative Dental Crowns in Goldsboro, NC

A dental crown is a custom-made cap that fits snugly over a damaged or weakened tooth, restoring its natural shape, strength, and appearance. It is a protective cover that restores the tooth's function, so you can eat, speak, and smile confidently.

You may need a dental crown if you have:

• A cracked or broken tooth. 
• A tooth with a large filling that has weakened. 
• Severe tooth decay. 
• A brittle tooth following a root canal.

• Stronger tooth protection: A crown covers and shields a damaged tooth, reducing the risk of further cracking or decay. 
• Restores function: Crowns allow you to bite, chew, and speak comfortably without pain or sensitivity. 
• Long-lasting durability: Crowns are designed to withstand normal wear and tear. With good oral hygiene and regular check-ups, they can last up to 15 years.

Your treatment begins with a thorough examination to determine whether a crown is right for you. We take X-rays to assess alignment and bite, which helps us design a custom-fit crown. Next, we prepare the affected teeth by removing damaged portions and reshaping them to ensure a proper fit. Once your crown is ready, your dentist checks the fit, color, and bite before bonding it securely into place.

When a tooth is cracked, decayed, or weakened, it becomes vulnerable to pain, infection, and further damage. Restoring damaged teeth quickly is essential for maintaining good oral health and proper chewing.

Dental crowns are one of the most effective ways to repair a weakened tooth. Here are the advantages of using dental crowns:

• They restore the strength and function of your teeth. 
• Crowns protect weakened teeth and prevent them from breaking further. This protection is essential, especially after root canal procedures. 
• They restore the chewing function. 
• They improve the appearance of your teeth, giving them a natural shape and color.
