What to Expect From the Dental Crown Procedure

Initial Consultation
Your journey begins with a detailed examination at our Mint Hill office. We'll assess your tooth and discuss whether a crown is the best solution for your needs. Using advanced diagnostic tools, like digital imaging, we’ll create a precise treatment plan tailored to you. You’ll leave this visit with all the information you need to move forward with confidence.
Preparing Your Tooth
During the next visit, your tooth will be prepared to receive the crown. Our team will remove any damage or decay and reshape your tooth to ensure the crown fits securely. For traditional crowns, we’ll take impressions to send to our trusted lab, where your custom crown will be carefully crafted. If you’re a candidate for same-day crowns, we can create and place your crown onsite, saving you time and trips to the office.

Placing Your Crown
Once your crown is ready, we’ll bond it securely into place. After ensuring a perfect fit and bite alignment, we’ll polish the crown for a natural look and comfortable feel. You’ll leave the office ready to enjoy a fully restored tooth and a healthier smile. Plus, our team is here to offer tips on caring for your crown so it lasts as long as possible.

Frequently Asked Questions

It depends on which type of crown fits your case. A traditional lab-made crown typically takes two visits (one to prepare the tooth and take impressions, then a second once the finished crown comes back to be bonded in), while a same-day crown lets the team design and place your restoration in a single appointment.
A filling repairs a smaller area of decay by patching the missing part of the tooth, while a crown is a custom cap that covers the entire visible tooth for more complete protection. When damage is extensive enough that a filling alone isn’t enough, a crown gives the tooth the added strength it needs.
With proper care, a dental crown can last well over a decade, giving your tooth durable, long-term protection. Our team also walks you through care tips at your final visit so your crown holds up as long as possible.
No, it shouldn't be painful. Dentists numb the tooth and surrounding area with a local anesthetic before any preparation begins, so you'll mainly feel pressure rather than pain, and the patient-first approach mentioned on the page means our team will check in with you throughout to keep things comfortable.
Yes. A crown that's cracked, worn, or otherwise damaged usually needs to be replaced to keep the tooth underneath fully protected. If you notice any changes to your crown, it's worth scheduling a visit so it can be evaluated and you can find out whether a new crown is the right next step.
