At Carolina Roots Dental, we create natural-looking crowns that blend seamlessly with your smile. Crowns protect teeth after root canal treatment, repair large cavities, or improve the appearance of discolored or misshapen teeth. Dr. Landreth uses high-quality materials and precise techniques to ensure your crown provides lasting protection and beautiful aesthetics.
We use advanced technology and quality materials to create crowns that fit perfectly and look natural.
A: Dental crowns are tooth-shaped caps that completely cover damaged teeth above the gum line. They restore strength, protect weak teeth, and improve appearance using materials like porcelain, ceramic, or metal alloys.
A: With proper oral hygiene and regular dental care, crowns typically last 10 to 15 years or longer. Avoiding habits like teeth grinding and chewing hard objects helps maximize their lifespan.
A: The crown placement procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so you won't feel pain during treatment. Some patients experience minor sensitivity afterward, which resolves quickly with over-the-counter pain relievers.
A: Traditional crowns typically require two visits: one for preparation and impressions, another for placement. However, we also offer same-day crowns that can be completed in a single appointment for your convenience.
A: Yes! Dr. Landreth carefully matches your crown's color, shape, and size to your surrounding teeth. Porcelain and ceramic crowns provide the most natural appearance and blend seamlessly with your smile.
A: Care for crowns just like natural teeth with regular brushing, flossing, and dental checkups. Avoid chewing very hard foods or ice, and wear a nightguard if you grind your teeth to protect your investment.
