Porcelain Dental Crowns in Greensboro NC at Friendly Dentistry

Our Greensboro dentists use top-grade porcelain dental materials and the latest technology to ensure crowns, veneers and dental implants are accurately sculpted to match the characteristics of your natural teeth. The porcelain is very strong and durable, and will protect your worn or broken teeth, while also having the translucence of natural teeth.

In the past, dental work would include low-grade porcelain that was difficult to shape and made dental crowns look bulky, pasty and left them more rounded at the center and edges than natural teeth. Today, crowns and veneers from our Greensboro dentists use top-quality porcelain which can be blended to match any tooth, regardless of the color, shape, translucence, or age of your natural teeth. Let Friendly Dentistry near Greensboro, High-Point, and Winston-Salem help give you a beautiful smile with high-quality porcelain tooth crown and veneers. We can meet your dental needs with ease, and we guarantee you will love the results!

What Is a Dental Crown?

A dental crown, often referred to as a “cap,” protects and restores a tooth that is worn down, chipped, or broken.  While there are many different types of crowns, the primary job of a dental crown is to cover and protect the entire tooth—from the gumline to the biting surface. The dental professionals at Friendly Dentistry provide custom crowns for your teeth that ensure they will be beautifully restored to match the color, characteristics, and gloss of your natural teeth – and will give you the perfect smile you deserve. Simply put, the results will amaze you!

Common Uses for Tooth Crowns

• Dental bridge – A dental bridge is used to replace a missing tooth. A dental crown is placed over the empty space, but it is supported by the adjacent teeth, and those teeth must also be crowned.
• Excessive wear – Worn teeth need to be protected to prevent them from fractures or breaks. Tooth crowns provide the needed protection.
• Tooth discoloration – Some types of discoloration cannot be removed with teeth bleaching. Crowns provide a beautiful but more affordable option than porcelain veneers.
• Broken or badly decayed teeth – If a tooth is badly broken, it doesn’t necessarily have to be replaced. It is possible to restore it. After treatment, a tooth that was badly decayed or that needed a root canal treatment is further protected with a tooth crown.

High-Quality Tooth Crowns from a Family Greensboro Dentist

Our Greensboro dentists have advanced training in dental aesthetics. The dental practice participates in ongoing training classes in cosmetic dentistry to provide you with the most natural-looking crowns and restorative dentistry results. When you come in for tooth crown repair or receive a new dental crown from Friendly Dentistry, our commitment is to provide you with a beautiful, complementary match to your natural, healthy teeth.

The porcelain will be expertly matched for color and translucence to give you the perfect tooth restoration. People won’t be able to distinguish the crown from your natural teeth. Natural-looking results are especially important for front teeth, which are the focus of your smile.

What Are the Advantages of Porcelain Crown Restorations?

Above, we mentioned the purpose behind dental crowns. Now, let’s discuss the advantages associated with getting a porcelain crown restoration as opposed to some other type of tooth crown. Some benefits associated with porcelain dental crowns include:

• Light easily passes through the porcelain, so the color and translucence can be tailored to match your natural teeth.
• They are durable and strong, meaning they provide maximum protection for worn or broken teeth.
• All-porcelain crowns and veneers do not contain metal. Unlike porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns, over time, a dark line will not appear at your gum line.
• You won’t experience sensitivity to heat and cold, because the crowns don’t contain metal.

Dental Crown Consultation & Careful Assessment

If you have a tooth that is badly broken, a dental bridge that needs to be replaced, or just an interest in enhancing your smile or dental health with dental crowns, we can help. Contact us to request a crown consultation and to spend a few minutes with one of our Greensboro dentists and discuss your options.

When you request an appointment with one of our Greensboro dentists, he or she will listen to your goals for your smile and examine your teeth. We will determine if a permanent or temporary crown or even teeth veneers are the best tooth restoration option for your smile goals and the condition of your teeth. It may be obvious that a tooth crown is the best solution, but if it isn’t, we’ll make recommendations and let you know the best options for dental services.

We will ensure you understand the results you can expect with this restoration compared to other options. We want you to make a fully informed decision.

Accurate Placement of a Dental Crown for a Perfect Fit

Since the purpose of a dental crown is to restore a natural tooth, if it doesn’t fit well, it won’t function well. Incorrectly placed teeth crowns can interfere with your bite, cause pain, and even further damage the natural tooth it’s supposed to protect. Our Greensboro dentists take the time to ensure your crown fits perfectly by cleaning and preparing your natural tooth to accommodate the dental crown. Impressions of the tooth and precise measurements help us create the ideal shape of your natural tooth to ensure the crown isn’t seated too low or too high over it.
