Benefits of Dental Crowns in Huntersville, NC
Why our patients choose dental crowns for lasting oral health.
Protect Weakened Teeth
Crowns provide a strong barrier over weakened or cracked teeth, preventing further damage and restoring bite function. This protection supports surrounding teeth and helps maintain long-term oral health.
Restore Damaged or Broken Teeth
A dental crown restores shape and strength to teeth affected by decay, large fillings, or trauma. It allows you to chew comfortably and smile confidently without worrying about breaking teeth again.
Improve Cosmetic Appearance
Crowns, including porcelain fused or ceramic options, are designed for a natural appearance. They enhance your smile, blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, and provide aesthetic improvement for both front and back teeth.
Support Other Restorations
Crowns can anchor a dental bridge or cover teeth after a root canal, ensuring the restoration lasts longer and your bite stays healthy.

The Process of Getting Dental Crowns
What to expect during your crown placement.
Step 1: Consultation and Evaluation
During your first visit, Dr. Bunn performs a comprehensive dental exam and evaluates your teeth with digital impressions or digital X-rays. We discuss your goals and determine whether a same-day crown or custom crown best suits your needs.
Step 2: Tooth Preparation and Temporary Crown
The affected tooth is shaped for crown placement. If a temporary crown is needed, it protects your tooth while your permanent dental crown is being fabricated. Dr. Bunn ensures your comfort throughout the process with local anesthesia.
Step 3: Crown Placement and Final Adjustments
Once your new crown is ready, Dr. Bunn secures it with dental cement or bonding agents, checking your bite and fit. You leave with a restored, functional, and natural-looking tooth that enhances your smile and protects surrounding teeth.
