What is a Dental Crown?
There are many types of dental restoration processes that help keep your mouth and teeth healthy over time. One of these, are dental crowns. A dental crown, once put in place, will completely cap a tooth or a dental implant.
Why would I need a crown?
There are many reasons as to why your dentist may recommend a crown. Some of the most common are:
- To protect a weak tooth from breaking or to hold together parts of a cracked tooth and restore an already broken tooth or a tooth that has been severely worn down.
- To cover and support a tooth with a large filling when there isn’t a lot of tooth left.
- To cover misshaped or severely discolored teeth
- To cover a dental implant and restore it to a natural looking tooth.
- To protect the tooth after root canal therapy
All-ceramic or all-porcelain dental crowns provide the best natural color match than any other crown type and may be more suitable for people with metal allergies. Crowns are a laboratory created item and are usually fabricated in three weeks. Think you need a crown? Call today and let us take a look!
