Dental Crowns
A damaged or decayed tooth can impact your oral health and function.
Our dentists can place a durable custom dental crown over a compromised tooth to restore its health and appearance.
Our dental practice in Thomasville, NC, offers free consultations to help you determine if a dental crown is right for you.
What Is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cover made of porcelain, metal, or a combination. This dentistry treatment is used to address a variety of issues such as:
A dental crown can provide much-needed strength to a weakened tooth structure.
Following treatment for decay, a dental crown can be used to build up the tooth.
Your dentist will often place a dental crown following root canal therapy. This provides additional support to the tooth.
A dental crown can be paired with a dental implant (essentially an artificial tooth root) to replace a single missing tooth.
What Are Dental Crowns Made Of?
Dental crowns can be made from a variety of materials. Depending on your needs and budget, your dentist at our Thomasville dentistry practice may use:
Metal crowns are often made from gold alloy, palladium, nickel, or chromium. Metal crowns are stronger than porcelain crowns and are often suggested for back teeth.
Porcelain crowns, or all-ceramic crowns, are a popular choice for aesthetic reasons. They look just like your natural tooth and are also a great option for patients with metal allergies.
Porcelain fused to metal is a combination of metal and porcelain. Like porcelain, these crowns are lifelike. This type of dental crown offers the strength of metal with a more natural appearance.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Crowns
Does getting a dental crown hurt?
No. Your dentist will numb the area before they prep the tooth to ensure you do not feel any discomfort during the procedure. Once the crown is placed, you may feel some sensitivity for a few days but this should dissipate quickly.
Will dental insurance cover my crown?
Most dental insurance plans will cover at least some of the costs associated with your dental crown treatment. This will vary by plan and provider. Our staff will help to maximize your benefits with your dental insurance provider.
How long with my dental crown last?
On average, dental crowns last about five to seven years. With proper care and maintenance, your crown can last for 15 years or longer.
