Dental Crowns
Weak, broken, or decayed teeth can affect your appearance and compromise your oral health.
Dental crowns are custom, tooth-shaped caps that fit over the entire tooth structure, adding strength and protection.
Learn how Dr. David Babb can place a high-quality, porcelain crown in a single visit at our Beaufort, SC, practice.
When Is a Dental Crown Necessary?
There may be several reasons why the dentist at our Beaufort office recommends a dental crown. These custom restorations can be used to address many different cosmetic and oral health conditions.
Breaks or cracks in a tooth can compromise your oral health. A crown can restore a tooth to its original size and shape.
A tooth that has been severely weakened by trauma may require a dental crown for optimal strength and durability.
Sometimes a cavity is too large to be repaired with a dental filling. A crown covers your tooth to address a large area of decay.
Dental crowns can be used to conceal teeth that are chipped, cracked, discolored, misshapen, or out of alignment.
If you are replacing a single missing tooth with a dental implant, your implant will be restored with a custom dental crown.
Whether you need root canal therapy, require a dental implant, or need to treat a large cavity, a dental crown can be an excellent way to complete your smile.
Dental Crowns Can Repair Your Teeth
For Lifelike Results
Restore and Protect
Dental crowns can reinforce damaged teeth that cannot be repaired with fillings or porcelain inlays and onlays.
Durable and Reliable
Dr. Babb uses medical-grade porcelain and ceramics, such as lithium disilicate, to ensure maximum strength.
Natural-Looking Results
Advanced porcelain materials mimic the translucency of natural tooth enamel, delivering truly lifelike results.
How Are Dental Crowns Placed?
First, your dentist reshapes the affected tooth and takes dental impressions. Once the crown is crafted, it will be bonded permanently onto the tooth.

Traditional crowns typically require multiple visits to the dental office, but our dentist utilizes state-of-the-art CEREC® technology so our patients can receive their crown in just one appointment. Not only does this offer better convenience, but it also eliminates the need for a temporary crown, which can add time and cost to your dentistry treatment.
Procedure Timeline: What to Expect
We utilize our CEREC Primescan technology to deliver a beautiful IPS e.max® or lithium disilicate crown in one appointment.
In some rare instances, your dentist may need to send your case off to a trusted dental lab partner. In these cases, it will take two office visits to complete your crown treatment. A temporary crown will be placed in the meantime. This helps protect the tooth while chewing and prepare the gums until the lab fabricates the final porcelain restoration.
Custom porcelain crowns are durable and look incredibly lifelike.
