What Is Dental Crowns?
A dental crown is a custom-fitted cap placed over a damaged tooth to restore its full shape, function, and strength using porcelain, ceramic, or zirconia materials.
Why Choose Bright Smile Dental for Dental Crowns
Why Choose Us
At Bright Smile Dental in Raleigh, we use digital impressions and shade-matching technology to craft crowns that blend seamlessly with your surrounding teeth, reducing chair time and guesswork.
Common Dental Crowns Scenarios
Cracked Molar
A molar cracked from chewing hard foods or grinding loses structural integrity and needs a crown to prevent splitting further and causing pain.
Large Old Filling
Fillings covering more than half a tooth's surface weaken the remaining enamel over time, making a crown a more stable long-term solution.
Post Root Canal Tooth
Teeth treated with root canals become brittle without a crown protecting them, risking fracture during everyday chewing and biting.
Our Dental Crowns Process
Examination and X-Rays
We assess the damaged tooth using digital X-rays to confirm the root and surrounding bone are healthy enough to support a crown restoration.
Tooth Preparation
The tooth is gently reshaped by removing a thin layer of enamel on all sides so the crown fits flush with neighboring teeth without added bulk.
Digital Impression
A digital scan replaces messy putty molds, capturing precise measurements of your tooth to send to the dental lab for crown fabrication.
Crown Placement
Once the permanent crown arrives, we check the fit and bite carefully before cementing it securely, completing your restored smile in Raleigh.
