Dental Crowns
Expert Dental Care in a Welcoming Environment
Did you know that around 120 million people in the United States are missing at least one tooth? Tooth loss happens for various reasons, such as:
- Gum disease
- Decay
- Simple wear and tear
- Injury
Dental crowns are a common dental procedure used to enhance a person's smile or strengthen their teeth. Around 15 million people have at least one crown.
What Is a Crown?
A crown is a cap (or cover) that your dentist puts over the affected tooth or teeth. It restores the tooth to its normal function, size, and shape. A crown can be used to improve the way your tooth looks or to protect it.
Crowns can be made from a few different materials, such as porcelain, composite resin, or metal alloys. The material is often colored, so it blends in with your natural teeth.
Benefits of Dental Crowns
- They can protect a dead tooth from falling apart. A dental crown is used to cover an infected tooth, ensuring it doesn't break into pieces inside your mouth.
- Dental crowns can save damaged teeth. It's a great option instead of extracting the tooth and replacing it with a dental implant.
- Crowns are more durable than inlays, onlays, and fillings. Dental crowns are long-lasting and cost-effective.
