During your consultation, one of our dentists will recommend the best restoration that will meet your needs.
Dental Crown
A dental crown can cover a severely damaged tooth and protect it from further damage or decay. Dental crowns look and act like your natural tooth so they can even be used on your front teeth to give you a functioning, uniform smile. If you have a missing tooth or a tooth that needs extracting, you can discuss your candidacy with one of our dentists to see if you are a good fit for an implant-supported dental crown.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are titanium posts that are surgically inserted into your jawbone to mimic a natural tooth's root structure. Once placed, they provide a sturdy base for a dental crown or dental bridge to be permanently secured. Dental implants provide greater stability and protect against jawbone atrophy.
Dental Bridge
Dental bridges can replace a single missing tooth or a few missing teeth when a gap is surrounded by healthy teeth. For a few missing teeth in a row, an implant-supported dental bridge is almost always recommended. Our dentists also offer Prettau® Zirconia bridges, which are unparalleled in quality.
Certain Factors Will Determine Which Material Is Recommended for You
Our dentists offer a full range of restorative materials at our Charlotte, NC, office, including all-porcelain and metal dental crowns or bridges. During your consultation, you will discuss your aesthetic and oral health goals with one of our dentists. From there, our dentists can recommend the best material for your needs.
Grinding and clenching associated with these conditions can cause excessive pressure and wear on porcelain restorations.
Generally, a porcelain crown will be recommended when treating an anterior tooth since it is always visible when you smile.
While some patients are primarily concerned with the aesthetics of their smile, others would prefer a lower cost option.
A New Smile in One Day How CEREC Advances Dentistry
CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) is a system that uses computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology to create custom dental restorations. For special cases where your permanent crown or bridge cannot be created using CEREC, we will work with a trusted dental lab that will create your restoration to the highest standards.
Quick
Traditionally, patients have had to schedule multiple appointments to receive a dental crown or bridge. Thanks to Dr. Charles and Robert Porter's investment in a CEREC machine at our Charlotte practice, we are able to provide our patients with convenient restorations that can be completed in a single appointment.
Advanced
CEREC is equipped with advanced imaging, which allows for enhanced diagnostic and planning precision. This means the system can both design and fabricate your restoration in our office with the utmost accuracy.
Quality
This technology allows you to receive your restoration faster, without sacrificing quality, and without the need for a temporary crown. Using a block of dental-grade porcelain, the machine will craft a lifelike restoration designed to your specifications. Once your dental restoration is placed, you will not be able to distinguish it from your surrounding natural teeth.
