A damaged, severely decayed, or structurally compromised tooth creates more than just cosmetic concerns; it affects your ability to chew properly, causes discomfort, and leaves the tooth vulnerable to further damage or infection that could ultimately result in tooth loss. Dental crowns provide proven solutions that restore both the strength and appearance of compromised teeth, protecting them from future problems while creating results that blend seamlessly with your natural smile.
Parkwood residents benefit from Dr. Jordan Tucker’s expertise in creating and placing high-quality dental crowns at New Day Dental & Medical Aesthetics in Cary. Our practice offers advanced same-day crown technology that completes your restoration in a single convenient visit, eliminating temporary crowns and the need for multiple appointments.
Understanding When Crowns Become Necessary
Advanced restorative options including root canal therapy, dental crowns, bridges, implants, and full-mouth rehabilitation are all available at New Day Dental & Medical Aesthetics. Our same-day crown technology means many restorations can be completed in a single visit, saving Parkwood patients valuable time.
When dental damage threatens your smile's function and appearance, our experienced team develops comprehensive treatment plans that address all aspects of your oral health needs.
Revolutionary Same-Day Crown Technology
Traditional crown procedures require at least two appointments spread over several weeks. During the first visit, your dentist prepares the tooth and takes impressions that are sent to an outside laboratory for crown fabrication. You wear a temporary crown while waiting for the permanent restoration, then return weeks later for the final crown placement.
New Day Dental & Medical Aesthetics's same-day crown technology transforms this experience entirely. Using advanced CEREC CAD/CAM technology, we design, create, and place your permanent crown in a single appointment, typically completed in just a few hours. Dr. Tucker begins by preparing your tooth and using digital scanning technology to create precise 3D images of your tooth structure and bite relationships.
The digital information guides our in-office milling machine, which crafts your custom crown from a solid block of high-quality ceramic material while you wait comfortably in our office. You leave our office the same day with a beautiful, fully functional permanent crown.
Materials That Match Nature
Modern dental crown materials have evolved dramatically, offering strength and aesthetics that traditional options couldn't provide. The all-ceramic crowns we create at New Day Dental & Medical Aesthetics closely mimic the translucency, color variations, and light-reflecting properties of natural tooth enamel. Dr. Tucker carefully selects materials and custom-matches shades to your surrounding teeth, ensuring your crown blends seamlessly with your smile.
For teeth that endure particularly heavy chewing forces, we may recommend zirconia crowns, which offer exceptional strength while maintaining excellent aesthetics. During your consultation, Dr. Tucker will discuss the best material options for your specific situation, considering factors like the tooth's location, your bite forces, aesthetic requirements, and budget.
The Crown Placement Process
Whether you receive same-day crowns or traditional crowns, the fundamental process remains similar. Dr. Tucker begins by numbing the area to ensure your complete comfort throughout the procedure. He then carefully removes any decay and shapes the tooth to create an ideal foundation for your crown.
After tooth preparation, we capture detailed digital images or impressions that record every contour and relationship. For same-day crowns, this information immediately goes to our in-office milling unit. For traditional crowns, it goes to our trusted dental laboratory where skilled technicians hand-craft your restoration.
Once your permanent crown is ready, Dr. Tucker checks its fit, makes any necessary adjustments, and verifies that you're completely satisfied with the appearance before permanently bonding the crown to your tooth.
Protecting Your Investment
Dental crowns are remarkably durable, but proper care ensures they provide many years of reliable service. Maintaining excellent oral hygiene through regular brushing, flossing, and professional cleanings protects both your crown and the underlying tooth structure.
Avoiding destructive habits helps prevent crown damage. Chewing ice, biting fingernails, opening packages with your teeth, and using your teeth as tools can crack or dislodge crowns. If you grind your teeth at night, a custom nightguard protects your crowns from excessive forces.
Regular dental checkups at New Day Dental & Medical Aesthetics allow Dr. Tucker to monitor your crown's condition and the health of surrounding gum tissue, addressing any concerns before they develop into significant problems.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Crowns in Parkwood
How long do dental crowns last?
A properly maintained dental crown typically lasts 10 to 15 years, and many last even longer with excellent oral hygiene and regular dental checkups. How long yours lasts depends on your bite forces, oral habits, and maintenance routine.
Is getting a dental crown painful?
Most patients experience minimal discomfort during and after the procedure. We use local anesthesia to keep you comfortable during treatment, and any post-procedure sensitivity typically fades within a few days.
How much does a dental crown cost?
Cost varies based on the crown material, the complexity of your case, and your insurance coverage. We offer flexible financing and a VIP membership plan, and we will provide a detailed cost breakdown during your consultation.
What is the difference between traditional and same-day crowns?
Traditional crowns typically require multiple appointments and a temporary crown while a lab fabricates the permanent one. Our CEREC same-day crowns are designed, milled, and placed in a single visit, giving Parkwood patients comparable quality with far more convenience.
Can a tooth with a crown still get a cavity?
The crown itself cannot decay, but the natural tooth structure underneath can still develop a cavity if bacteria reach the crown's edges. That is why brushing, flossing, and regular checkups remain important after you get a crown.
Will my crown look natural?
Yes. Our CEREC crowns are crafted from high-quality ceramic and custom-matched to your natural tooth color, so the crown blends seamlessly with the rest of your smile.
