Natural-looking Crowns to Protect and Perfect Your Smile
When a tooth becomes damaged, worn, or weakened, a dental crown offers a reliable way to restore both strength and appearance. Designed to fit perfectly over your existing tooth, a crown helps protect it from further damage while enhancing your smile’s natural look.
At Gentle Smiles of Raleigh, we provide durable, custom-made crowns that blend beautifully with your surrounding teeth—so you can chew, speak, and smile with confidence again. Each crown is carefully crafted to match your tooth color, shape, and size for a seamless finish.
When You Might Need a Dental Crown
Your dentist may suggest a crown to:
- Protect a cracked, broken, or weakened tooth
- Cover a large filling that needs additional support
- Restore a tooth that has worn down over time
- Improve the shape, size, or color of a tooth
- Strengthen a tooth after a root canal treatment
- Cap a dental implant to complete your restoration
How the Dental Crown Process Works
Getting a dental crown is simple and typically completed over two visits. Here’s how it usually goes:
Evaluation and Preparation
Your dentist first examines your tooth to confirm that a crown is the best treatment. The tooth is then reshaped slightly to make space for the new crown and ensure a perfect fit.
Impression Taking
An impression of your tooth is taken to create a precise model for your permanent crown. While it’s being crafted in a dental lab, a temporary crown is placed to protect your tooth.
Crown Placement
After your permanent crown is ready (in about 1–2 weeks), it’s securely bonded in place. Your dentist ensures the fit, shape, and shade match your natural teeth before finalizing the placement.
Final Adjustments
Once the crown is set, any necessary bite adjustments are made to ensure comfort and smooth function. The result is a strong, natural-looking tooth that feels just right.
Enjoy a Stronger, More Confident Smile
Dental crowns are an excellent way to preserve your natural tooth structure while restoring function and beauty. Whether you have a damaged, discolored, or weakened tooth, a custom crown from Gentle Smiles of Raleigh can make your smile look and feel new again.
