Dental Crowns in Belmont

Drs. Gary McCord and Ashley Starr provide natural-looking dental crowns in Belmont, NC, to repair damaged, decayed, or missing teeth. Our dentists work with expert lab technicians who handcraft each restoration for stunning results.

Artfully Crafted By Hand to Ensure Natural-Looking Results

Dental crowns are a tried and true method of repairing a wide range of dental problems, such as cracks, chips, and even missing teeth. With proper care and maintenance, they can protect your teeth for over a decade. Our Belmont, NC, dental office designs custom, high-quality, lifelike restorations that are virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth.

While crowns in the past were made from conspicuous amalgam metals, we use modern tooth-colored alternatives like porcelain. Porcelain and similar ceramic materials are highly durable and look virtually indistinguishable from natural enamel.

During your consultation, we will use a shade guide to identify the perfect shade of porcelain for your dental crown. The designs along with your impressions are then sent to our partner dental lab for production.

Our permanent crowns are always handcrafted by lab technicians to ensure the highest quality aesthetics. While all these steps take a little extra time, the impeccable results are worth the effort.

The Benefits Make Dental Crowns a Worthwhile Investment in Your Smile

Protect Your Teeth

Cavities and infections don't only cause pain. They also weaken the structures of teeth. Dental crowns cover compromised teeth, strengthening them and protecting them from further damage.

Save Money

Avoid More Costly Dental Care

If you don't cover a compromised tooth with a crown, it may eventually require extraction and replacement with a dental implant, which can cost thousands more than the crown would have. Choosing the more affordable option now can result in significant savings later.

Enhance Your Smile

Custom-designed dental crowns from our dentists in Charlotte can upgrade the appearance of your smile. These prosthetics can disguise discoloration, structural damage, and poorly shaped teeth. 

Fill in the Gap and Restore Your Smile With an Implant-Supported Crown

A missing tooth can affect your self-esteem and can lead to more serious oral health problems when left untreated. With advances in modern dentistry, you don't need to live with a gap in your smile.

One of the best solutions for missing teeth is a dental implant. Unlike traditional prosthetics that rest on top of the gumline, implants are inserted into the jawbone in place of the missing tooth root. This provides crucial stimulation to the bone tissue and prevents jaw recession.

Once the implant is secure, it is topped with a custom-made restoration. For a single missing tooth, your dentist will design an implant-supported crown to complete your smile.

An implant-supported crown doesn’t just restore the missing tooth, it also replaces the tooth root, which is essential for encouraging regenerative bone growth where the tooth was lost.

I could not brag more about Southpoint Family Dentistry! Finding a dental office that would care for myself, my husband & my two little kids without forcing us to do things we are not comfortable doing or pushing dental work that isn’t actually needed has been a significant challenge for us…. UNTIL NOW. Southport Family Dentistry is truly the best dental office and exactly what I have been searching for! Their customer service and care is unmatched and you can tell they sincerely care for you as a person. My family drives 30+ minutes to receive care from Dr. Price and his team because of the incredible experience we’ve had. I highly recommend Southpoint Family Dentistry!

Dr. Price and the South Point Family Dentistry experience was the best dental experience I have had in the Charlotte Metro area. His team was very welcoming at check in, they were prompt in getting me back and kept the appointment on time at a relaxing pace. The dental hygienist Amber was great, she was very engaging and made me feel at home. To top it all off, I am currently without insurance and they have very affordable services when paying cash. I would highly recommend this dental office to anyone in the Charlotte metro. They have a great location right off 485 and best rates in town for people without dental insurance. Full service cleanings and x-rays included! Schedule your next exam there! Tell them Thomas Fitts sent you!!!!

How Do I Know I Need A Dental Crown?

The only way to know for sure if you need a dental crown is to visit the dentist. While pain, temperature sensitivity, and swelling are common symptoms of infection, we can't diagnose your condition without seeing you in person.

Meanwhile, it is possible to have a serious tooth problem without even noticing. Routine dental check-ups are the best way to monitor your oral health and the treatments you need in a timely manner. 

Are Dental Crowns Covered By Insurance?

If you are getting a crown for health purposes, your dental insurance will likely cover at least part of your treatment costs. Our Belmont, NC, practice accepts most major insurance carriers and will work directly with your provider to get the most from your benefits. 

If you are getting a crown purely to enhance the color or shape of a tooth, treatment is classified as cosmetic dentistry.  Unlike restorative dentistry, cosmetic treatment is not usually covered by insurance. Fortunately, our office accepts flexible financing through CareCredit® and Sunbit®, allowing you to make affordable monthly payments on the cost of dental care.

If you live in Greater Charlotte and are interested in learning more about financing or want to get a cost estimate for your dental crown, please schedule a consultation with our dentist today.

Tooth Preparation

After numbing your mouth, one of our dentists will prepare the compromised tooth by cleaning and removing any decay. Root canal therapy may be required to extract infected tissue. Once the tooth is free of decay, we will remove a small layer of enamel to make room for the cap.

Impressions

Our dentist will take impressions of the treated tooth. We then send these impressions to our trusted dental lab, where they will craft your prosthetic out of the material of your choice. We will discuss with you the benefits of the different materials (including porcelain, resin, and metals) so you can make an informed decision. 

Temporary Crown

We will place a temporary crown to protect against further damage while your permanent crown is being made. Since temporary crowns are held in place with temporary cement, be careful not to eat any excessively hard or sticky foods while it is in place.

Crafting Custom Restorations

The skilled technicians at our partner lab will need one to two weeks to custom-craft your permanent crown. Once the restoration is complete, it is sent back to our Belmont office for placement.

Permanent Crown

When your permanent crown is ready, you will return to our office to switch out your temporary crown. Our dentist will check the look and fit of the restoration and make any necessary adjustments. Then, we will use a special dental cement to secure the crown over your tooth.

Dr. Matthew Rodda is by far the very best dentist I've ever had! Whenever I've had to do anything beyond a standard cleaning, he numbs the gums perfectly so that only the first novacaine shot feels like a small, tiny pin prick. Any other shots that followed were either barely felt or not felt at all (and we all know that novacaine shots are the worst!). He's the best!

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Crowns in Belmont

How long will a dental crown last?

With proper care and maintenance, a dental crown can last for up to 15 years or more. However, it will wear over time and eventually need to be replaced to protect the tooth structure. 

Can you replace a metal crown?

Yes. Metal crowns used to be the standard of care. However, materials like porcelain and zirconia are being used more and more to mimic the natural tooth color. We are happy to help you replace a metal crown with our natural-looking handcrafted crowns.

Does dental crown placement hurt?

No. Your Belmont dentist will begin treatment by numbing the area. This ensures you do not feel any pain as they alter the tooth structure. In many cases, a dental crown can actually relieve pain, especially if a tooth decays and causes infections. If you feel any discomfort during your procedure, please inform your dental team so they can make adjustments to ensure a comfortable and positive experience.

Can you combine a dental crown with other treatments?

Yes. Dental crowns are a versatile solution that addresses a variety of concerns. Dental crowns are used following root canal therapy to protect the tooth. Some patients also combine dental crown treatment with other restorative or cosmetic dentistry treatments like dental implants or even teeth whitening, allowing them to enjoy a stunning smile transformation.
