Dental crowns are instrumental in restoring the health, function, and aesthetics of your teeth. They play a major role in maintaining a strong, healthy, and beautiful smile.
1. Repairing and Restoring Teeth
If your tooth is significantly decayed or damaged, you might need a dental crown. When a cavity is too large to be repaired with a filling, a crown can cover and protect the remaining tooth structure, preventing further decay and preserving the tooth.
A cracked or fractured tooth is another common reason for needing a dental crown. Crowns can hold the tooth together and restore its function, especially when damage affects the chewing surface. If you have undergone root canal therapy, a crown is often necessary to strengthen the treated tooth, as it can become brittle and prone to breaking.
2. Enhancing Smile Aesthetics
Cosmetic dental crowns can transform your smile. If you have a tooth that’s severely discolored, misshapen, or poorly aligned, a crown can work wonders. It can improve the tooth's appearance, creating a more uniform and attractive smile.
3. Replacing Missing Teeth
Dental crowns are essential components of dental bridges, where they serve as anchors for replacing missing teeth.
