What Are Dental Crowns?

A dental crown is a custom-designed cap that envelops a compromised tooth. It restores the tooth’s shape, strength, and appearance, offering protection against further damage. Crowns are essential when a filling is insufficient or after restorative treatments like root canals.

Dr. Rink uses premium materials—such as porcelain, zirconia, and IPS Empress—that deliver strength and mimic the translucency of natural teeth. These crowns allow you to chew confidently and smile beautifully without compromise.

What Are the Benefits of Dental Crowns?

Dental crowns offer a comprehensive array of advantages:

  • Protection: Crowns shield weakened or damaged teeth from further deterioration, especially following restorative procedures.
  • Durability: Crafted from resilient materials, crowns withstand the pressures of daily biting and chewing for lasting support.
  • Natural Appearance: Tooth-colored options blend seamlessly with your existing smile for an undetectable restoration.
  • Restored Function: Crowns enable comfortable biting and chewing, improving your oral health and quality of life.
  • Longevity: With proper care, crowns provide a reliable, long-term solution that preserves your smile’s integrity.

Do Dental Crowns Look Like Natural Teeth?

Absolutely. Dr. Rink’s commitment to artistry means every crown is created to harmonize with your natural dentition.

What Is CEREC Technology?

Utilizing CEREC technology, we offer same-day dental crowns for Mt. Pleasant patients seeking efficiency without sacrificing quality. This innovative system enables the design and fabrication of your custom crown in our Charleston office, typically within a single appointment.

Digital impressions guide a precision milling machine that sculpts your crown from a solid porcelain block. Dr. Rink then refines the shape and color, delivering a restoration that feels natural and looks exquisite, all without the need for temporary crowns or multiple visits.

What Is the Treatment Process?

Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation. Dr. Rink evaluates your oral health, discusses your goals, and recommends the ideal crown material.

Next, any damaged portions of the tooth are gently removed, and the tooth is reshaped to ensure a perfect crown fit. Digital impressions capture the details necessary for crafting your crown with CEREC technology.

Once your crown is fabricated, it is carefully placed and bonded. Dr. Rink will make any adjustments needed to guarantee comfort and alignment, leaving you with a seamless, natural smile.

How Are Dental Crowns Placed?

After preparing your tooth, Dr. Rink takes a digital impression to design your crown. Using CEREC’s advanced milling technology, the crown is fabricated onsite. The final restoration is bonded securely to your tooth, and adjustments ensure optimal fit and bite comfort.

What Is the Best Way to Care for Dental Crowns?

Proper care helps maintain your crown’s appearance and longevity. To protect your investment:

  • Brush and floss daily to prevent plaque buildup around the crown margins.
  • Avoid biting down on hard or sticky substances that could damage the restoration.
  • Wear a night guard if you grind your teeth to prevent undue wear.
  • Visit Dr. Rink regularly for professional exams and cleanings.
