Crowns
What is a crown?
A dental crown is a type of restoration that covers the entire visible portion of a tooth to the gum line. Crowns are used for a variety of reasons, including to protect a weak tooth from breaking, to restore a tooth that has already been broken or worn down, or to improve the appearance of a tooth that is severely discoloured or misshapen.
Why would I need a crown?
- To Protect Weak Teeth: Teeth that have large fillings or that have been damaged by decay can become weak and prone to breaking. A crown can be used to reinforce a weak tooth and protect it from further damage.
- To Restore Broken Teeth: Teeth that have been broken or chipped can be restored to their original shape and function with a crown. Crowns can also be used to restore teeth that have been worn down due to grinding or other habits.
- To Improve Appearance: Crowns can be used to improve the appearance of teeth that are severely discoloured, misshapen, or have gaps between them. Crowns can be made to match the colour of your natural teeth and they can be shaped and sized to improve the overall appearance of your smile.
What are the benefits of Crowns?
-
Durability: Crowns are made of materials that are strong and durable, such as porcelain, ceramic, or metal alloys. This makes them an ideal solution for teeth that are prone to breaking or that have already been damaged.
-
Improved Function: Crowns can restore the function of a damaged tooth, allowing you to bite and chew comfortably again. This can improve your overall oral health, as well as your quality of life.
-
Natural Appearance: Crowns can be made to match the colour of your natural teeth, giving you a seamless and natural-looking smile. They are also custom-made to fit your mouth, ensuring a comfortable and secure fit.
-
Long-lasting: With proper care and maintenance, crowns can last for many years, sometimes even a lifetime. This makes them a cost-effective solution for restoring damaged teeth, as they can save you from needing additional treatments in the future.
Crowns can provide a wide range of benefits for individuals who need to protect weak teeth, restore broken teeth, or improve the appearance of their smile. Let us help you figure out if crowns are the right treatment for you.
