Concerned About the Costs? How We Make Crowns Affordable
We understand that costs are an important consideration for patients undergoing any dental procedure. We do not want financial barriers to prevent our patients from achieving healthy and beautiful smiles. Here is how we make dental crown treatment more accessible:
Insurance
We work with most insurance plans and providers to reduce or even eliminate your out-of-pocket costs. Our skilled staff will verify your coverage before treatment begins so you can accurately plan and budget.
Financing
For those without insurance or to cover any costs not covered by your dental insurance, our Ballantyne office accepts CareCredit®. This allows patients to break the cost of treatment into affordable monthly payments.
Payment Options
To cover out-of-pocket costs, our dental practice accepts cash and Visa.
For patients interested in ongoing care, our Precision VIP Membership offers preventive services plus a 10% discount on all treatments — including crowns, sedation, and even implants. For $489/year, members receive cleanings, X-rays (including CBCT), and priority access to treatment without the delays or limits of traditional insurance.
Dental Anxiety Is No Problem With the Help of Sedation
Visiting the dentist is difficult for some patients, and you're not alone. Our Ballantyne dental office offers sedation dentistry to help patients with dental anxiety or phobia, sensitive teeth or a sensitive gag reflex, and even those who struggle to sit still. Depending on your needs, we might recommend one of three types of sedation, including:
Nitrous Oxide
Also known as laughing gas, nitrous oxide is breathed in to induce a state of relaxation so you can comfortably undergo treatment. It is the lightest form of sedation offered. It also wears off quickly once it is stopped, meaning patients can drive immediately afterward and go about their day normally.
Oral Conscious
For this method of sedation, your doctor will prescribe an anxiety medication that is taken about an hour before your appointment. This medication helps patients remain calm and comfortable, but conscious during their procedure. You will need an adult to drive you to and from your appointment.
Intravenous
Intravenous (IV) sedation induces deep relaxation. However, you are not completely unconscious. IV sedation can be adjusted to achieve the level of relaxation you need. An anesthesiologist monitors you throughout to ensure your safety, and you will need an adult to drive you to and from your appointment.
“You Won't Be Disappointed”
“If you want a caring, friendly, and most of all qualified dentist, then this place is for you. I needed a procedure done and they were able to fit me in their schedule and did an amazing job…If you are anxious about visiting a dentist and want things done correctly, then this should be your first consideration. You won’t be disappointed.” - VIP Valene
What Is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown is a tooth-shaped shell, often made of porcelain, that fits over a tooth. This provides strength and protection to the tooth while also preserving the tooth structure. We use dental crowns to address:
Dental Damage
Damaged or worn teeth can become susceptible to further damage. A dental crown is used to prevent more serious issues with the compromised tooth.
Tooth Decay
If you have a decayed tooth, a dental crown is often recommended when a filling cannot provide adequate reinforcement. This is a common type of application.
Root Canal Infection
Root canal treatment is often necessary to clear up an infection within a tooth. Typically, a dental crown is placed following treatment to strengthen the tooth. Unlike many other practices, we're able to perform all stages of your root canal in-office.
Missing Teeth
A dental crown can be paired with a dental implant to replace a single missing tooth. Dental crowns are also used on anchoring teeth to secure dental bridges.
Cosmetic Imperfections
If dental bonding or veneers aren't a good option to treat cosmetic imperfections such as cracks, chips, or discoloration, a dental crown may be used to cover the tooth.
Top 3 Benefits of Dental Crowns
Restored Function
A damaged or decayed tooth can impact your comfort, chewing strength, and more. A dental crown addresses these issues to restore your ability to bite and chew comfortably.
Restored Appearance
Issues like chips and cracks can be embarrassing for some patients. A dental crown is a natural-looking restoration that enhances your smile.
Restored Oral Health
Tooth decay can cause oral health concerns and even lead to tooth loss. A dental crown can prevent issues from developing, help preserve the tooth structure, and guard against extraction – an important tool to protect your bone health.
Not Sure You’re Ready for a Crown? Our Team in Ballantyne Can Help You Get There
If your tooth needs a little prep work — like a root canal, gum therapy, or extraction — you’re not out of options. We handle every step in-house with advanced technology, sedation options, and experienced clinical care. That means fewer referrals, fewer delays, and a smoother path to your restored smile.
Whether you’re already mid-treatment or starting from scratch, our team serving Charlotte will make sure you’re fully qualified before moving forward.
“Precision has a clean, bright and relaxed atmosphere. The doctors and staff are always super personable, extremely thorough, knowledgeable, and helpful. I cannot say enough great things or recommend them more!” - Christine H.
Implant-Supported Crowns for Missing Teeth
If a tooth is missing or you require an extraction, we may recommend dental implant treatment. This advanced option replaces both the tooth and its root for greater stability and long-term health benefits.
You may be a candidate if you:
- Are missing a single tooth
- Have a severely damaged or non-repairable tooth
- Want a fixed, natural-feeling solution
- Have sufficient bone tissue or qualify for bone grafting
Implant-supported crowns require more time and planning, but the results can be life-changing. We’ll walk you through your options during your consultation.
Dental Crown Treatment Timeline
In many cases, we can complete the design, fabrication, and placement of your dental crown in a single appointment.
If you don't qualify for same-day treatment, we'll recommend a traditional crown. This timeline can vary based on your unique needs. Keep in mind that dental implant placement will add several months and additional appointments.
We provide an elite level of customer service throughout every stage of your treatment.
All that is left to do is enjoy your new smile. Have questions about the dental crown timeline? Get in touch with us today; we're happy to help.
Ready to Get Started? Request a Consultation at Our Ballantyne Office
A damaged or decayed tooth can compromise your smile, and it can also make it difficult and even painful to chew and speak. A dental crown made of durable porcelain will not only restore the appearance of the tooth, but its function while relieving your pain. For those missing a tooth, a dental crown supported by an implant can fill in the gap to provide you with the same restoration benefits.

Dental Crowns Frequently Asked Questions
Why not just pull damaged or decayed teeth?
Pulling teeth is a last resort for your dentist. Even a single missing tooth can lead to jawbone deterioration and can require more extensive dentistry treatments later such as dental implants or bone grafting. By preserving the tooth structure, your dentist can restore and protect your oral health, function, and appearance in the most conservative way possible.
How long do dental crowns last?
Dental crowns are made of high-quality porcelain and with proper care, can last for 15 years or more. However, it is important to remember that the crown will wear over time and eventually need to be replaced.
Does dental crown placement hurt?
No. Your dentist will thoroughly numb the area before treatment begins to ensure you do not feel any discomfort. We also offer sedation options at our Ballantyne practice to ensure you are completely comfortable during treatment.
What is the difference between a cap and a crown?
There is no difference between a cap and a dental crown. A cap is simply an outdated term used for a dental crown.
Will people be able to tell I have a dental crown?
No. Your dentist will shade-match your dental crown with the surrounding teeth so that it blends seamlessly with your natural smile. Your dental crown will be virtually indistinguishable from your natural teeth, which is one of many reasons porcelain crowns are favored above metal crowns.
What happens if my temporary crown falls off while I am waiting for my permanent crown?
If your temporary crown becomes loose or falls out, save the crown and call our practice as soon as possible. As long as the temporary crown is not damaged, we can often re-bond the temporary crown in place until your permanent dental crown arrives at our office.
