Dental Crowns Explained
A dental crown is a full-coverage restoration that caps an entire tooth to restore its strength, shape, and appearance. Crowns are recommended when a tooth is significantly damaged by decay, fracture, or wear, or after root canal treatment. At Cape Fear Smiles, we use all-ceramic and porcelain materials that are metal-free and biocompatible, aligning with our biological approach to dentistry.
Benefits of Dental Crowns

The Crown Process
The tooth is prepared by removing damaged structure. Digital impressions provide precise measurements for fabrication. A temporary crown protects the tooth between visits. The final crown is bonded, adjusted for bite, and polished for a seamless result.
What to Expect
The preparation visit uses local anesthesia for comfort. A temporary crown functions normally until the permanent one is ready. Once placed, care for your crown like a natural tooth with regular brushing, flossing, and checkups.
