Dental Crowns

What are dental crowns

Dental crowns are an important part of general dentistry due to their capacity to restore shape, size, strength, and general appearance to teeth. Placed like a snug hat over the tooth, a dental crown covers the visible portion of the tooth and is then cemented into place. This helps limit any further damage as well as return functionality and cosmetic appeal to the tooth. Crowns act as protective coverings that keep existing damage from worsening, allowing you to maintain oral health in the long run.

When do I need a dental crown?

Dental crowns are often used for protecting weak teeth from further damage, restoring a broken or worn down tooth, providing support for a large filling, holding bridges in place and covering deformed and discolored teeth. Dental crowns are also commonly used to cover dental implants and teeth that have been treated with a root canal procedure. Dental crowns offer a strong solution and protection when other restorative treatments cannot be applied adequately to ensure the desired result. When cared for appropriately, they can last up to fifteen years or even longer depending on the material chosen. If you're faced with any of the problems mentioned above, speak with Dr Choi here at Dental Artistry about whether a dental crown is the right choice for you.

The benefits of dental crowns 

Dental crowns are a reliable option to improve the health and appearance of teeth that have been damaged.  Dental crowns can provide people with improved dental function due to their protective barrier around the natural tooth structure and give the smile an attractive boost in appearance. Dental crowns are just one of the many treatments available through restorative dentistry, providing long-term protection for damaged teeth. With proper maintenance and regular check-ups, dental crowns can last for years or even decades, making them a trustworthy option for repairing teeth for many patients.

 

The appearance of dental crowns

Everyone wants to have a beautiful smile! Dental crowns may be the solution for you if your teeth are in need of some TLC. Dental crowns can be made out of a variety of different materials, such as porcelain, metals, resin and ceramics, so you don't have to worry about them looking unnatural. Porcelain or ceramic crowns are particularly popular because they can match the color of your natural teeth and offer a glossy shine that will last for years with regular care from your dentist. So, if you want to keep your smile looking its best, consider investing in dental crowns!

The functionality of dental crowns

Dental crowns are an incredibly useful tool for patients with damaged teeth. By providing a hard-wearing surface that can resist future decay, crowns both safeguard the vulnerable tooth and bring back its aesthetic appearance. It also drastically strengthens the functional side of the tooth, such that chewing becomes easier and there is no fear of pain or discomfort when consuming food. Though a dental crown might seem like a minor procedure, its restorative power is undeniable—saving both the form and function of the tooth for years to come.        

The durability of dental crowns

They are designed to be incredibly durable, and with proper maintenance, can last for years without needing to be replaced. Regular brushing twice daily, flossing, and visiting your dentist every six months will help to ensure your dental crown stands the test of time. Additionally, many manufacturers offer warranties on their products that cover up to 10 years in case the crown becomes cracked or chipped due to wear and tear over time. Dental crowns are an excellent way to protect damaged teeth while maintaining a healthy smile – opt for one today!

If you’re looking for an effective way to restore the appearance and functionality of your damaged teeth without needing special care, then dental crowns may be right for you. Whether you’re looking for a metal or porcelain option, there are many advantages to using a dental crown in order to protect your tooth from further damage while preserving its natural look. Before deciding on this treatment option, however, it is important to speak with us first in order to determine what type is best suited for your needs.
