Professional Dental Crowns in Rock Hill, SC
Restore Damaged Teeth with Custom Dental Crowns
Piedmont Dental provides high-quality dental crowns in Rock Hill, SC, to restore the strength, function, and appearance of damaged or weakened teeth. Our custom-crafted tooth crowns are designed to look, feel, and function just like your natural teeth, giving you a durable solution that can last for many years with proper care.
What Are Dental Crowns?
A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap that completely covers a damaged or weakened tooth above the gum line. Think of it as a protective helmet for your tooth. Crowns restore the tooth’s original shape, size, strength, and appearance while protecting it from further damage.
Modern dental crowns are crafted from advanced materials that mimic the natural translucency and color of your teeth, making them virtually indistinguishable from your surrounding teeth. Whether you need a crown on a front tooth for aesthetic reasons or a back tooth for durability, we have solutions tailored to your specific needs.
When Do You Need a Dental Crown?
Dental crowns serve both restorative and cosmetic purposes. Dr. Areheart may recommend a crown if you have a tooth that is cracked or fractured, severely decayed with insufficient tooth structure for a filling, weakened by a large existing filling, or has undergone root canal therapy and needs protection.
Crowns are also used to restore dental implants, anchor dental bridges, improve the appearance of misshapen or severely discolored teeth, and protect weak teeth from breaking. If you’re experiencing tooth pain, sensitivity, or visible damage, a dental crown may be the ideal solution to preserve your natural tooth and restore your smile.
Types of Dental Crowns We Offer
At Piedmont Dental, we offer several types of crowns to meet different needs and preferences.
Porcelain Crowns are the most popular choice for front teeth due to their exceptional aesthetic qualities. These crowns can be precisely color-matched to your natural teeth and offer excellent translucency that mimics real tooth enamel. Porcelain crowns are biocompatible and resist staining, making them ideal for visible teeth.
Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal Crowns combine the strength of metal with the natural appearance of porcelain. The metal substructure provides durability while the porcelain outer layer offers a tooth-colored appearance. These crowns work well for back teeth where both strength and aesthetics are important.
Zirconia Crowns represent the latest advancement in crown technology. Made from extremely strong ceramic material, zirconia crowns offer superior durability without sacrificing aesthetics. They’re an excellent choice for both front and back teeth, providing strength comparable to metal crowns with the natural appearance of porcelain.
Gold and Metal Alloy Crowns are the most durable option and are typically used for back molars where chewing forces are greatest. While they don’t match natural tooth color, metal crowns require minimal tooth reduction and can withstand heavy biting forces exceptionally well.
During your consultation, Dr. Areheart will recommend the best crown material based on the tooth’s location, your bite pattern, aesthetic preferences, and budget.
Benefits of Dental Crowns
Dental crowns offer numerous advantages for restoring damaged teeth. They restore full chewing function, allowing you to eat comfortably without pain or sensitivity. Crowns protect weakened teeth from further damage or fracture, often preventing the need for extraction.
Modern crowns provide natural-looking results that blend seamlessly with your smile. They’re incredibly durable and can last many years with proper care. Crowns also help maintain proper bite alignment and prevent surrounding teeth from shifting.
For teeth that have undergone root canal therapy, crowns provide essential protection and strength. They can dramatically improve the appearance of severely discolored or misshapen teeth, and they offer a conservative alternative to extraction and implant placement.
