Do I Need a Dental Crown?
Dental crowns not only restore the natural beauty of your teeth but also improve overall oral health. Broken, worn, or severely decayed teeth can cause discomfort when eating. Dental crowns act as a protective helmet that covers the tooth to the gumline.Before committing to any dental crown or bridge work, it is essential to consider the following:
Aesthetic vs. Durability – Do you prefer natural-looking dental crowns or long-lasting results? Most metal crowns are very durable, but patients tend to find them unattractive. On the other hand, porcelain and ceramic crowns provide a more natural tooth appearance, but these types of materials tend to be less durable.
Teeth grinding or a strong bite can impact the life of your dentistry and your natural teeth.
Alternative Treatments – It is very important to assess if a dental crown or a dental bridge is necessary to fix your dental problem. In some cases, white dental fillings or even dental veneers could be an easier and more cost-effective solution.
Our dentists will discuss all of your treatment options with you, including the cost and what to expect from the longevity of your dentistry. It is essential to do your part to protect your investment at home by brushing and flossing and maintaining your regular dental cleans and check-ups.
