Dental Crown Benefits
Dental
crowns are versatile restorations that can correct a number of functional
and aesthetic issues with your teeth. Your cosmetic dentist may recommend
dental crowns to:
- Protect a weak tooth from breakage or decay
- Restore a chipped, broken, or worn down tooth to its original state
- Cover a misshapen or discolored tooth
- Cover and support a tooth with a large dental filling that does not have very much remaining natural tooth structure
- Serve as a prosthetic tooth for a dental implant
- Support a dental bridge
Dental crowns can provide you with many functional benefits.
They allow you to save a severely damaged tooth rather than have it extracted.
This is important since it will maintain the root structure of the tooth,
reducing your risk of other serious oral health issues down the road. Your
dental crown will also provide you with chewing support, enabling you to eat
your favorite foods whenever you like. Dental crowns are highly durable, and
your restoration will last a long time when properly cared for.
There are also several important aesthetic benefits to
dental crowns. The dental porcelain used in crowns mimics the translucent
properties of natural tooth enamel, and your cosmetic dentist can color match
your dental crown to the shade of your neighboring teeth. This will produce a
very natural looking result that blends in seamlessly with your smile. For this
reason, many cosmetic dentists recommend dental crowns as part of a smile
makeover.
