Dental Crowns
The Problem
Teeth can become chipped, cracked, worn, or weakened over time due to decay, injury, or wear. When a tooth’s structure is compromised, it becomes more vulnerable to further damage and may not function properly without reinforcement.
The Solution
A dental crown restores the tooth by fully covering and protecting its visible surface. This provides both strength and aesthetic improvement, allowing the tooth to function naturally while maintaining a refined appearance.
At Palmetto and Pine, we offer several crown options to suit both functional and cosmetic needs:
- Porcelain Crowns: Designed to closely match the color and translucency of natural teeth, porcelain crowns are an ideal choice for visible areas of the smile. They provide an exceptional balance of strength and aesthetics.
- Gold Crowns: Gold crowns offer unmatched durability and are highly resistant to wear and chipping. They are often recommended for back teeth where strength and longevity are the primary considerations.
- Composite Crowns: Composite materials can also be used in certain restorative cases, offering a more conservative and adaptable option depending on the tooth’s condition.
Each crown is carefully crafted and fitted to ensure optimal function, comfort, and appearance.
A Precise and Personalized Process
Every crown procedure begins with a detailed evaluation of your tooth and overall oral health. Our team will prepare the tooth, take precise impressions, and design a restoration that fits seamlessly within your bite.
A temporary crown may be placed while your final restoration is being crafted. Once completed, the final crown is securely bonded into place, restoring strength, function, and aesthetics in a single, refined solution.

When Alternatives May Be Considered
In cases where a tooth is too damaged to be restored with a crown, extraction may be necessary. If this occurs, we will guide you through the most effective replacement options, such as dental bridges or dental implants.
Our goal is always to preserve your natural teeth whenever possible while providing the most predictable, long-term solution for your oral health.
