Dental Crowns | Winston-Salem, NC
Most dentistry looks like dentistry. Our goal is to provide dentistry that is undetectable. We replace existing crowns and fillings with restorations that look and feel like your natural teeth.
Where damage to a person’s teeth is extreme, and apparently beyond repair, we can use porcelain or porcelain “pasted on gold” crowns to make the smile appear “as new”. This is an extremely reliable technique for repairing the most severe of dental problems, even permanently replacing missing teeth to offer a complete smile and a functional bite. We are renowned for the quality of our work and the fantastic changes we make for people using this technology. These treatments are used for a long-lasting correction of major dental problems. It is usual for these treatments to last for 20 to 30 years, which is as close to permanent as dental treatment can get.
Are You Ready to Restore Your Smile?
Don’t suffer the consequences of damaged teeth! Dental crowns are natural-looking restorations that can repair severe dental problems. Start smiling better today!
How long does it take to fit a dental crown?
Fitting a crown requires at least two visits to our office. Initially, we will remove decay, shape the tooth, and fit it with a temporary crown of either plastic or metal.
On the subsequent visit, we will remove the temporary crown and then fit and adjust the final crown. Finally, we will cement the crown into place and you have a new beautiful looking tooth.

What are the capabilities of crowns?
Crown and bridgework is a very reliable solution for major dental problems caused through accidents, diseases or wear and tear. Major problems can usually be corrected using these techniques. Material used in these repairs is either high-grade porcelain or porcelain bonded to gold. A higher strength of the porcelain and gold materials is recommended to treat the most serious of dental problems. Where accidental damage has occurred, resulting in lost teeth, or where teeth have broken away through excessive wear, or as the result of old fillings breaking, crowns and/or bridges can be used as a long-term solution.
Many people have unexplained pain from filled back teeth, which is usually due to hairline cracks in the chewing part of the tooth. Placing crowns on these teeth relieves the pain and allows a return of full dental function for these teeth. In front teeth, older fillings can both weaken the teeth and cause “appearance” problems due to staining or chipping. Porcelain crowns and bridges are suitable in cases where porcelain veneers are not. In teeth with root canal fillings, crowns can prevent breakage.

I am not from Winston Salem, so find a new provider has been a daunting tasks. I have struggled to find a quality provider with whom I felt safe- when looking for any service I prioritize authenticity and transparency. Dr. Oliver provided exactly that and more! I struggled to find a provider with whom I felt heard until I found Dr. Oliver. He took time to explain to me what I was experiencing and how the treatment he suggested would impact my quality of life as well as the health of my teeth. It is rare to find a provider who talks to you and wants you to feel cared for and respected. Not here! Dr. Oliver was incredible. The staff was excellent too. I felt a sense of team work during my visit as I had to see different people between my xrays and my visit. It was clear that it was a busy day in the office, but I didn't feel like an imposition because I saw several people working to ensure that I was cared for and that I knew that my visit was a priority to them also. I am grateful to have found a new dentist and look forward to the exceptional care I know I will get from you all. I have sang your praises to several family members and friends!! Thank you!!

Dr. Oliver was amazing!! They got me in at a reasonable amount of time and they were very courteous to me and my needs. Dr Oliver took the time on his day off to come in so that I could have my dentures done before my family came into town and it meant so much to me. The ladies at the front are always so kind and do everything possible to make me comfortable and safe. I would recommend this place to anyone and will not be going anywhere else for my dentistry needs. 5 stars!!

My daughter has been to many dentist. She has been so scared because of bad experiences. This is the only dentist that she was able to have a full cleaning and x-ray. They give each child the time they need. Also, my other daughter threw up in the chair because she wasn't feeling well to begin with. Nothing to do with the dentist. The staff was extremely nice and politely reschedule. I didn't get the hygienist name. But she was AWESOME!
