Dental Crowns
A missing tooth, a broken tooth, and a tooth with deep dental stains have a common solution: a dental crown.
This versatile treatment can improve the functionality of a tooth and transform the appearance of your smile.
Smith Custom Dentistry in Charleston, SC, works with an award-winning lab to create durable and lifelike dental crowns.
Have a Broken Tooth? We Handle Dental Emergencies
A broken tooth can impair your ability to eat and speak properly, in addition to being painful. Fortunately, our dentist has what it takes to repair broken teeth quickly and put you back on track to optimal oral health.
Dental Crowns Can Transform Your Smile
Our dental crowns are made from ceramic, zirconia, and high-strength IPS e.max®, a premium porcelain. When we use these materials, the result is a crown that is durable and virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth. Porcelain crowns can transform your smile by:
Protecting a Tooth
Damaged and decayed teeth impact your overall oral health and function. Our dentist can remove the damaged and decayed tissue and cap your tooth with a dental crown to reinforce its structure and restore its function. Crowns can also be used to protect a tooth after a root canal.
Replacing Missing Teeth
Implant-supported crowns can replace a tooth from root to crown and stop the jawbone atrophy that occurs after tooth loss. Our dentist can place dental implants and create your implant-supported crown all in one location, so you don't need a referral to any specialists.
Concealing Imperfections
Though crowns are typically used in restorative dentistry to repair and replace teeth, they can be used for cosmetic purposes, as well. Our dentist can use a dental crown to cap a misshapen tooth or a tooth that has deep dental stains and is affecting the appearance of your smile. A cosmetic crown could be what you need to achieve the bright, symmetrical smile you desire.

This patient was missing a front tooth, which made it difficult to bite into food and smile with confidence. Our dentist was able to provide them with an implant-supported crown that matches surrounding teeth to complete their smile.

Caring for Your Crown
With proper care, your crown made from porcelain or other materials can last 5-15 years or longer. To prolong the life of your crown, our dentist recommends you:
You can care for your crown in the same way you care for your other teeth. Floss once a day and brush twice a day to keep bacteria to a minimum. Pay special attention to your crown and the surrounding teeth when brushing.
Though porcelain is a durable material, biting your nails and chewing on hard objects like ice can damage your crown, just like your natural teeth. Our Charleston dentist recommends being mindful of these habits and trying to kick them altogether.
Attending regular dental checkups with our dentist will allow him to keep an eye on your crown and maintain your oral health so your mouth remains healthy enough to support your crown. He can also let you know when it's time to replace your crown.
