A crown restoration does more than repair a damaged tooth. It can also improve your smile. If you are not happy with your teeth, you can consider a restoration. Crowns can be placed on both front and back teeth, making this a good choice for a smile makeover.
Crowns are hollow restorations that are placed over teeth. Crowns made of porcelain and porcelain-infused metals are created to match the color of the existing teeth. Once the crown is placed, it looks and functions just like a natural tooth. These restorations improve smiles in various ways.
Damaged teeth hurt the look of a smile. When teeth are chipped, fractured or heavily decayed, the damage is often the first thing others notice. Dentists remove the damaged areas and then place the crown. The crown makes the tooth functional again while providing aesthetic benefits.
Missing teeth make people feel self-conscious. It is difficult for people to flash a smile when one or more teeth are missing. Dental crowns can be attached to bridges or implants. The crowns replace the gaps in the mouth and make the smile look full once again. Along with providing aesthetic benefits, replacing a missing tooth with a crown also makes it easier to eat and talk. In addition, the crown will prevent other teeth from moving to fill the gap.
People with fragile teeth cannot help but worry with each smile. They never know when a tooth might break and it makes them nervous. Crowns are often used to protect weak teeth. The dental crown material is very strong and not prone to chips and cracks, so people can flash smiles without fear.
People who suffer from bruxism often have worn down teeth. Worn down teeth are not aesthetically appealing and cause other issues. For example, many people with bruxism also experience tooth sensitivity because the grinding wears the teeth down so much the nerves become exposed. Dental crowns can be used to fix this issue. Once the crown is placed, the teeth will look normal once again. Also, the crown will cover and protect the tooth’s nerves.
Some people choose dental crowns for purely cosmetic reasons. A crown restoration covers teeth stains that have been resistant to whitening treatments. Crowns also cover crooked and misshapen teeth and can even be used to lengthen teeth that are not long enough. When patients want crowns for purely cosmetic reasons, the dentist will conduct an examination to ensure it is a wise restoration choice. The dentist might recommend a less-invasive restoration option in these cases.
Dental crowns repair and replace damaged teeth, restore worn down teeth and even hide imperfections. If you are considering this procedure, meet with your dentist. Your dentist will talk to you about your desired outcome and determine if you are a good candidate for crowns.
