You may be considering dental crowns if you suffer from severe tooth decay, fractures, cracks, and large fillings. Crowns are a leading treatment option in the repair of dental function; they can help patients restore their smiles, which can do much to boost their confidence. Dental crowns are customized and tooth-shaped to completely fit over the cracked or decayed tooth to prevent further damage. We encourage you to learn more about this option to see if it might be right for you.
Tooth Decay
Dental crowns are placed over teeth that have decayed after getting a filling. However, they are not suitable for specific tooth decay limits. Therefore, it is necessary to get the extent of the tooth decay checked to determine if you are a viable candidate.
Large Dental Fillings
Large dental fillings can expose the walls of your teeth, weakening them and making them vulnerable to breakage. If you have large dental fillings, you may well be a candidate. A dental crown is usually placed over a tooth with large fillings to regain the strength of dental walls. The crowns also protect the underlying tooth from extensive damage.
Tooth Discoloration
Dental crowns can cover your discolored or stained teeth for a fresher, whiter appearance. This option is suitable for a small number of discolored teeth. Also, crowns are suitable for those who have tried to enhance their teeth through teeth whitening procedures without getting positive results.
Missing Teeth
People with missing teeth may be fit for a dental crown. Here, the crown is placed on top of a dental implant to assist in the restoration of dental functions and enhance overall appearance.
Root Canal
Patients who are scheduled or planning for a root canal might consider a dental crown to protect the affected tooth after the procedure.
