Have you suffered any severe damage to your teeth but wish to have them prepared without the need for an extraction? In many cases, it may be possible to save severely damaged teeth through the use of a dentistry procedure known as a dental crown. Dental crowns are prosthetic devices that are shaping and crafted for your exact smile to fit over the top of damaged teeth. They are extremely durable and can even be crafted to match your smile’s aesthetics. Benefits are as follows:
– If you wish to provide support for previous tooth restorations such as bridges or implants, dental crowns can be placed over the top of them for added durability.
– Dental crowns can often safely be used in situations where children are at high risk for tooth decay or other similar damage.
– If you are in need of a dental filling but not enough tooth remains to hold the filling in place, a dental crown can hold the filling and tooth together.
– Dental crowns are known for their durability as they can last up to a lifetime of wear.
– Dental crowns are often used for weak or broken teeth to restore their function once more. They can even be used to bind together bits of a broken tooth.
– If you would like to use other treatment options to effectively repair a tooth, and the tooth would otherwise need to be extracted, visit your dentist to determine if a dental crown can be used to save the tooth.
– Dental crowns provide cosmetic benefits as they can be adjusted to fit the aesthetics of your smile.
