Beautiful, Lifelike Restorations for a Complete Smile
If your tooth has become severely damaged due to decay, infection, or breakage, a traditional tooth-colored filling may not be large enough to repair and protect it. That’s where dental crowns in Cary come in. These durable, lifelike restorations are designed to fit over the tooth like a cap or hat, so they both look and feel like your natural teeth, allowing you to continue enjoying a full diet while discreetly protecting your smile from further damage. In fact, they look so realistic, only you and your dentist will ever need to know you’ve had dental work done!

What Is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown is a deluxe filling that fits over your tooth like a cap. Using impressions made of your natural teeth, they look and feel just like the real thing, blending seamlessly into your arches, so nobody will ever know they’re restorations. Dental crowns in Cary are an excellent option for restoring teeth with deep cracks, infection, or excessive decay that cannot be repaired with a traditional tooth-colored filling.
The Process of Getting a Dental Crown
Getting a dental crown in Cary is an easy process, especially with our CEREC Same Day Crown milling machine. First, Dr. Bell will take impressions of the tooth before reshaping it to fit your new crown. Then, he will numb your mouth, and once comfortable, remove the damaged enamel and reshape the tooth so the new crown will fit. Then, he will take more impressions and send your images to the CEREC milling machine. In about one hour, your crown will be ready, and Dr. Bell will secure it in place on the reshaped tooth, where it will remain for ten or more years with proper care.
One of the best things about CEREC crowns is that in addition to only needing one appointment for the entire treatment, you won’t need to wear a temporary crown while your permanent restoration is crafted at an outside lab. This means your teeth will have less risk of infection while you wait, and you won’t be subject to any dietary restrictions while wearing a fragile, temporary crown.
Benefits of Getting a Dental Crown
When you have severely damaged teeth and don’t protect them, this can often result in worsening oral health problems. A dental crown in Cary can both restore the appearance of damaged teeth, as well as protect them from future damage. They also offer the following incredible benefits:
- Improved comfort and chewing capabilities.
- Protection for your natural teeth to ensure they don’t need to be extracted or become severely damaged.
- Can correct several different types of oral health problems in one treatment.
- Can be customized to match your surrounding teeth, making them virtually indistinguishable in your smile.
- Can last for 10+ years with proper oral hygiene practices including brushing twice a day, flossing daily, visiting Dr. Bell twice a year for your routine checkups, and being mindful about what you eat (such as limiting excessively crunchy foods like ice cubes and hard candies).
