I was referred to Dr McGowen due to my intense dental anxiety. I was actively ignoring issues I knew needed to be addressed for well over a decade. Upon calling, I was offered an appt THE VERY NEXT DAY! I have never been treated with such kindness, patience, and understanding by any provider and staff to date. Dr. McGowan has many wonderful attributes. She is FAST, efficient & very communicative in her work. Her staff is just as top-tier as she is. Maggie, at the front desk, is precious and is going to remember your name when you walk in the door! Karen, who assisted Dr. McGowen for my work, literally made me feel like I was just hanging with the girls while I was getting my work done. The level of care and education provided by this practice, from check-in to check out, is unmatched by any dental office in eastern North Carolina. It's definitely well worth the hour-long drive there and back for me. Outside of Dr. McGowan being the most badass dentist, she is drop-dead gorgeous! If someone is going to be drilling in the back of my mouth, it sure does help when they have a pretty face and perfectly shaped brows. (All the girlies know you can always trust a girl with great brows 💁🏼‍♀️) Are you terrified of the dentist? Do you need a new dentist? Is your dentist not very cutesie? Do you love going places where you're treated like family? Evolve Dentistry and Aesthetics has you covered!

Evolve Dentistry and Aesthetics has a very helpful, conscientious administrative staff who ensured I received a timely appointment on short notice and as a new patient. Thank you, MAGGIE! The very experienced and competent dental assistant/technician, Lindy, was tops among those who have cared for my teeth during my 73 tears. Very personable, yet a down-to-business, no-wasting time professional. Thank you, LINDY! The new owner, Dr. Victoria H. McGowen, DMD, thoroughly checked the final result and is obviously a very confident and capable dentist and entrepreneur. New Bern is very fortunate to have Dr. McGowen and her team — they are upgrading dental care to the next level of technology and professional competence while maintaining their genuinely personable, good neighborliness. I am grateful they have me as a new patient, and I’ll definitely be going back. I highly recommend you visit Dr. Victoria McGowen and her team.

Lindy was great during my cleaning and explained what she was doing. After seeing Dr Holton for so many years, seeing Dr. McGowen was refreshing today. I look forward to seeing her for more of my care in the future! Very friendly and listens. From what…

Our Process

We’ll meet with you for a consultation to examine your damaged teeth and determine if dental crowns in New Bern are the best option for you.

If you do need a crown or bridge, we’ll take impressions of your teeth and send it our partner lab to be custom designed to perfectly match your teeth size and shade.

While our lab is crafting your crown or bridge, you’ll be in a temporary crown for approximately one week. Once the crown arrives at the office, we will have another quick appointment to make sure it fits properly and that you are happy with the product. Then we will permanently cement your new crown!

Frequently Asked Questions

Crowns and bridges both restore your teeth’s functionality and protect damaged teeth from future wear. However, the two work in very different situations.

Crowns cap off individual damaged teeth. If you have a tooth that has cracked, chipped, or decayed, a crown can seal together damaged areas and restore all surfaces of the tooth.

While crowns can improve the function of damaged teeth, bridges help areas with completely missing teeth. A bridge is an artificial tooth with a crown on either end. The crowns slot over teeth on either side of a gap, while the bridge fills that gap. Bridges improve the look of your smile as they hide tooth gaps, but they also function as a chewing surface too.

One benefit of bridges and dental crowns in New Bern is that they can last for years without needing to be replaced. With the proper care, these appliances can last for decades before needing to be replaced.

For the best results, it’s important to avoid eating extremely hard or crunchy foods using your crown or bridge. Regular oral care is important too, including brushing, flossing, and regular dental cleanings.

If you suffer from bruxism, also known as tooth clenching or grinding, you may have an increased risk for damaging your bridge or crown. Let us know if you clench your teeth and we can get you set up with a custom mouth guard. A mouth guard can protect not only your bridge or crown, but all of your teeth from excess wear.

Eventually, you may experience a failure in your bridge or crown. If it breaks or if you feel it start to loosen, make sure to schedule a session with us to repair or replace. If the appliance totally breaks, it may be a dental emergency that requires immediate care, so don’t hesitate to reach out.

When we install your crown or bridge, we’ll need to shave down some of the outer surface of your tooth to make room for the appliance to fit over the tooth. This can lead to some tooth sensitivity for a few days after your session.

We recommend that you chew gently over your new crown or bridge for at least a day after your appointment. This ensures that the crown bonds to your tooth fully and will help relieve discomfort while your tooth heals.

Evolve Dentistry is a fee-for-service practice. That means that if you visit us for dental crowns in New Bern, we can accept most dental insurances as an out-of-network provider. We’ll be glad to file your insurance for you as well.

Many dental plans do cover medically necessary crowns and bridges, but we can help even if they aren’t covered by your plan. Evolve Dentistry has partnered with CareCredit to offer financing on any of our treatments.

With financing, you’ll apply for a CareCredit card online. This card is just like any other credit card, except it only works at medical practices like Evolve Dentistry. Once you’ve been approved for a CareCredit card, you can schedule your treatment at Evolve. Then you’ll just pay for your treatment using CareCredit. Then you can pay off the card with one of CareCredit’s flexible payment options!

We also partner with Sunbit to help patients access convenient payment plan options. There’s no hard credit check, and it’s easy to receive your loan approval in just a few minutes.
