Know the Facts about Dental Crowns

Posted .

Did you know that dental crowns are caps that fully enclose the outer visible portion of your teeth? Did you know that dental crowns can be used for a multitude of different tooth irregularities beyond those only suffering the effects of tooth decay? Below is a list of ways a dental crown may benefit you:

– Weak teeth: to protect weak teeth from cracking, breaking apart, or decaying

– Broken Teeth: to hold together parts of broken teeth

– Tooth Support: for teeth that have large fillings when there isn’t a lot of tooth remaining

– Dental Bridge: to hold dental bridges in place

– Tooth Irregularities: to cover teeth that may have irregularities in size, shape, curvature, or color

– Dental Implants: to cover dental implants

– Lack of other treatment options: if the tooth or surrounding jawline is too far damaged for other treatments, including veneers, composites, or implants

– Cosmetic: to offer aesthetic benefits

– Root Canals: to cover teeth with root canals

– Children at High Risk: used to protect teeth of children that are at a high risk for tooth decay
