Dental crowns play vital roles in dental care—everything from cosmetic to restorative dentistry. They can enhance your smile aesthetics, save damaged teeth, and even work in tooth replacement.

Your Charlotte dentist is proud to offer quality dental crowns through CEREC technology. CEREC means same-day dental crowns made from porcelain.

About Same-Day Dental Crowns in Charlotte, NC

If you need or want a dental crown, your dentist takes digital impressions, forwards the specs to our software for design, and then it is off to our on-site printer. After your crown prints, your dentist finalizes the fit and shading before cementing it over your treated tooth.

A same-day crown means you can leave our office and continue with your day—no temporary restoration.

Quality Dental Crowns for Aesthetics

Cosmetic dental crowns conceal many tooth flaws, including discoloration, shape issues, gaps between teeth, and teeth that are worn or short.

And cosmetic crowns are always color-shaded and shaped to match your smile.

A dental crown can often save it from loss or extraction if you have a damaged tooth or one recently treated for infection. First, your dentist evaluates your tooth to be sure. Because the crown creates a safe space between your tooth and the crown, you’ll not have to worry about your bite force breaking the impaired tooth beneath.

Dental crowns also work in tooth replacement. They cap dental implants or anchor bridge teeth to healthy teeth. A dental bridge is up to two restoration teeth fixed between tooth crowns. The bridge closes the smile gap and relies on two natural teeth for support.
