Dental crowns: what are they?
A dental crown is a dental procedure designed to protect and strengthen a damaged or weakened tooth. If a tooth is cracked, broken, or has undergone a root canal, we may recommend placing a crown on it. Crowns not only safeguard the tooth from further damage but also improve its appearance and structure. Generally, you can expect the crown to last for several years before needing to be replaced.
What is the purpose of dental crowns?
There are multiple advantages to getting a new dental crown. The main reason is when a tooth is cracked, fractured, or broken. Another instance where a crown may be necessary is after a root canal, as it can increase the tooth's vulnerability to breakage. Furthermore, if a tooth has a substantial filling or significant decay, we may recommend a crown to safeguard and restore it.
Who is considered as a candidate for dental crowns?
Our dentist will carefully examine your teeth to evaluate if a crown is needed. If it is determined that a crown is necessary, it is strongly advised to proceed with the treatment promptly to prevent further damage to the tooth. If you have an older crown that needs to be replaced, we can conveniently perform this procedure in our office at a time that is convenient for you. Our dental team is skilled in placing crowns on any tooth that requires restoration in your mouth.
