Dental
Crowns
As we get older, many of us discover that our teeth that are
no longer as structurally sound as they were in our youth. Your regular
dentist will usually be able to recognize problem areas which may lead to
tooth damage and a need for dental crowns.
Grinding your teeth, an improper bite, age, fillings and
tooth decay are all contributing factors in the erosion, cracking or
breakage of your teeth. If the entire surface of the tooth is damaged, but
the root system has remained intact, your dentist will usually suggest
that a dental crown be put in place.
Dental Crowns

Grinding your teeth, an improper bite, age, fillings and tooth decay are all contributing factors in the erosion, cracking or breakage of your teeth. If the entire surface of the tooth is damaged, but the root system has remained intact, your dentist will usually suggest that a dental crown be put in place.
Dental crowns are also capable of replacing missing teeth entirely. The dental crown is secured to the teeth on either side using a bridge section which connects the two dental crowns. Alternatively, single tooth dental implants can be placed. This eliminates the need for supporting the dental crowns so no bridge is required.
Our dentist may recommend the placement of a dental crown for a wide range of problems but, in general, the majority of these reasons usually fall within one of the following basic categories:
-
The restoration of a tooth to its original shape.
-
The strengthening of a weak tooth.
-
To improve the esthetic appearance of a tooth.
