What is a dental crown, you may wonder, and why do you need one? Should you really be happy that they exist just in case you require one in the future? While anything beyond a filling can cause patients to feel a little overwhelmed, it’s important to recognize that restorative care is extraordinary and nothing to feel anxious about. As you will learn about crowns, even if your tooth undergoes some serious trauma, we are here to repair damage and make your smile healthy again with restorations. Let’s take a closer look at why you can relax and feel confident about your smile care.
A Dental Crown Is…
When you hear the term “crown” simply imagine a hollow tooth that is made of synthetic material. Crowns may be composed of one of several artificial materials, such as metal (for back teeth), porcelain (for visible teeth), or other options for your unique needs.
We Create Crowns By…
We will take impressions of your smile, so we can create dental crown that fits the exact specifications and dimensions of your smile’s blueprint. It’s important not only that a crown fits your tooth but that the crown fits with your entire bite.
You May Need A Crown Because…
When your tooth is in need of significant repair or support, we may suggest the placement of a dental crown. For instance, you may suffer from tooth decay that progresses too significantly for us to place a dental filling. Or, you may accidentally break your tooth. Fortunately, we can thoroughly restore your tooth with a crown.
