Dental crowns in Greenville, SC can help repair damage to your teeth and make them stronger for the future. Plus, people won’t even be able to tell that you have had dental work!
What are Dental Crowns?
Dental crowns are prosthetic devices (usually made out of porcelain, metals, or resin) that are shaped to match the aesthetic of your teeth.
Crowns are usually fitted over damaged teeth for repair or strengthening purposes, but they can also be used to anchor a dental bridge for more extensive dental work.
A dental crown is a common treatment option for restoring a weakened or damaged tooth. It's also often paired with a root canal to restore the natural tooth. Dental crowns are an alternative to performing a large filling too.

The Dental Crown Procedure
Pelham Links excels at applying dental crowns for patients in Greenville, SC. Our experienced team understands the importance of a well-fitted, natural-looking crown and its effect on your smile and confidence. We use the latest technologies and techniques to complete the procedure. Here is what to expect when you visit us for a dental crown:
Consultation & Exam
The procedure begins with a comprehensive examination where we evaluate the condition of your tooth and determine if a crown is right for you.
If your dentist identifies a weak tooth that has been affected by decay, a dental crown might help protect it and prevent further decay. Broken teeth can also benefit from dental crowns as a means of stabilizing and strengthening the structure. You may also receive a crown to cover an implant, hold a dental bridge, or make a cosmetic improvement to your smile.
We’ll go over the treatment plan and if everything is agreeable then we’ll move forward.
Preparation, Impression, and Temporary Crowns
Our dentists will gently begin treating the tooth by removing decay. They will shape the tooth so a dental cap can fit. We use advanced tools to make impressions of the tooth so a custom-crafted one can be made. This cap will be perfectly sized, shaped, and colored to match your natural smile. A temporary crown is placed while we craft the permanent one.
Custom Crown & Final Placement
Your final appointment will involve us removing the temporary crown and replacing it with the custom, permanent one. We’ll check that the crown fits and feels good. We then bond it in place and with that you’ll have a new smile!
Insurance and Financing Options for Tooth Crowns
Dental crowns may be covered by insurance if they are a necessity. It’s best to check with your provided to see what your plan covers. That said, we accept many insurance plans.
We also offer flexible payment options and have a Golden Rewards Club which can help those without dental insurance.
