Dental Crowns
in Easly, SC
A cracked tooth during dinner. A large filling that no longer feels secure. A root canal that needs lasting protection. Dental crowns are designed for these moments. They restore damaged teeth with strength, precision, and natural aesthetics, so your bite feels stable and your smile looks seamless.
What Are Dental Crowns?
A dental crown, sometimes called a cap, is a custom-made covering that fits over the entire visible portion of a tooth. It restores the tooth’s original shape and size while reinforcing areas weakened by damage or decay.
Porcelain crowns are especially popular because they closely resemble natural teeth in color and translucency. They are durable, long-lasting, and crafted to match your smile.
When Do You Need Dental Crowns?
Dental crowns may be recommended for several reasons:
- Broken or fractured teeth
- Teeth weakened by extensive decay
- Large fillings that compromise tooth structure
- Fractured or failing fillings
- Teeth treated with root canal therapy
- Cosmetic improvements for shape, size, or color
How Are Dental Crowns Made and Placed?
The first step is taking detailed impressions to create a precise model of your tooth. While the area is numb, the tooth is gently reshaped and cleared of decay to create a secure foundation.
Our dentist then creates your custom crown using advanced systems such as CEREC® technology, which allows highly accurate digital design and fabrication in a single visit.
Once your crown is ready, the tooth is cleaned and the final crown is secured. The dentist checks spacing and bite alignment to ensure a natural, comfortable fit.
How Long Do Dental Crowns Last?
Porcelain crowns are highly durable and often last over 10 years with proper care. Daily brushing, flossing, and routine dental visits help protect both the crown and the underlying tooth.
Over time, normal wear may require replacement, which is a straightforward process.
