Dental Crowns Fayetteville

A Remedy for Cracked or Broken Teeth

Dental crowns restore beauty and function to smiles that are blemished by structural damage or decay. Also called caps, dental crowns are placed over cracked, broken, or severely worn teeth. Crowns allow for normal chewing and speaking and look like natural, beautiful teeth. If you’d like to discuss the placement of dental crowns with Fayetteville dentist Dave Lee, contact our practice today.

Placement of Dental Crowns

The placement process for dental crowns typically requires one or two visits to our Fayetteville office (one visit for CEREC® restorations and two for laboratory-crafted restorations). If necessary, Dr. Lee will use the Wand™ technology to numb the teeth. If the crown is sent to the lab, it will be fabricated in about two to three weeks. During this time, beautiful, natural looking temporary crowns are provided. When it is time to place the crown, he bonds it securely to the tooth and assures its fit with the surrounding teeth and bite. With proper maintenance, dental crowns can last for many years.

Benefits of Porcelain Dental Crowns

Porcelain dental crowns strengthen and protect damaged teeth to prevent further deterioration. The advantage of porcelain over other materials is that porcelain is one of the most biocompatible materials available available to dentistry, and it blends beautifully with the surrounding teeth. Observers typically cannot tell that you have had a crown placed, because porcelain dental crowns look exactly like your natural teeth. Your porcelain crowns will be crafted from the finest materials to ensure longevity and durability.
