Dental Crown A dental crown can significantly help improve your teeth. It is a custom-made restoration that is usually placed on your permanent teeth. The good thing about them is that they appear natural like your other teeth. They are also used in implants to replace missing teeth and function like normal teeth. People who use dental crowns can chew and bite food normally without struggling. Apart from that, they can maintain their oral hygiene easily. At Smile Makers Dental Center, we can help you get the best dental crown and also advise you if there are any other options available for your oral condition. Why Are Dental Crowns Important?The purpose of dental crowns is to strengthen your teeth, restore their functionality, improve their size and shape and change their overall appearance. It is an excellent procedure to protect the teeth from weakening, restoring the length of your teeth, covering dental implants, and protecting broken teeth from bacteria. Apart from that, dental crowns also prevent other teeth from shifting or changing position when you have missing teeth. Some of the most common types of dental crowns available in our dental office are all metal, porcelain-fused-to-metal, all-ceramic, stainless steel, and all resin crowns. Our dentist can help you differentiate between these crowns and advise you on the best one to choose. In What Cases Can I Get A Dental Crown?Your dentist will examine your teeth and determine if you are a good candidate for dental crowns. We might recommend one if you need a root canal treatment. After a root canal, there is usually a hole left in your teeth, and dental crowns can help fill the space to prevent bacteria from eating away your entire tooth. In other cases, crowns are used for cosmetic purposes. This happens when your tooth has been damaged or is discolored. Also, if you have a regular dental filling, a crown can be used to cover it up. Other cases where patients may need dental crowns are after a dental implant or when teeth are damaged and almost breaking. Crowns will help support the teeth that are loose or about to fall out, and they will enhance chewing. How Long Will My Dental Crown Last?Before investing in dental crowns, it is important to know how long they will last to determine if they are worth it. Dental crowns can last from five to15 years, depending on the material used to create the crown. Porcelain and gold crowns will last longer than ceramic crowns. But the secret to keeping and maintaining your dental crowns is to have a good oral hygiene routine. This will prevent them from changing color. Care Tips for Dental CrownsCrowns can sometimes be delicate, depending on the material they have been made of. They can sometimes break if you chew hard foods. Also, if you use your mouth to open bottles of soda or packaging, you might fracture your dental crown. It is also important to floss between your teeth to maintain the color of your dental crown.
