Dental Crowns

While we all desire durable teeth that will endure a lifetime, there are instances where a dental crown may be necessary. A crown, often called a “cap,” is commonly used to cover and protect a damaged tooth.

For example, your tooth may be decayed so much that there is insufficient natural material to hold a filling.

A crown is also used to protect a broken tooth or can be attached to a dental implant (tiny rod) to replace a missing tooth. A crown may also be used to cover a very discolored tooth.

A crown can make your tooth look more attractive, improve your tooth’s shape or alignment, and make your tooth stronger. Crowns made of ceramic, porcelain, or resin can be made to match the natural color of your teeth so most people won’t even know that you have a crown.

Overview

Overview

By the time we get a little older, changes in teeth appear and there are more chances to be affected by decay.

Numerous causes are behind the change in your smile. It can be bruxism or teeth grinding, root canals, cracker fillings, general decay, or other factors.

If the tooth is beyond repair with filling material, getting a full crown to save the teeth might be recommended.

The reasons for this kind of restoration of badly damaged teeth are cosmetic appearance, durability, and overall support of the chewing function.

Types

If we think there is a requirement for a full crown, other options are available for tooth repair.

Such options contain porcelain fused with a full porcelain crown.

Based on your situation, we’ll try to decide which one will best suit you.

One of the advantages of tooth crowns is their ability to seamlessly blend with your natural teeth, making them virtually indistinguishable. This helps to enhance the overall appearance of your smile.
