When decay, cracks, or other dental issues compromise the strength and beauty of your teeth, dental crowns offer a solution to renew and brighten your smile.
What are Dental Crowns?
Dental crowns are custom-made tooth restorations that cover the entire visible portion of a tooth above the gum line. They are typically made from durable materials such as porcelain, composite resin, or metal alloys, ensuring a natural-looking and long-lasting solution.
Why Might I Need Dental Crowns?
Dental crowns offer a wide range of benefits, making them a versatile treatment option for a variety of dental concerns:
- Restoring strength to weakened teeth: Dental crowns provide support and reinforce teeth vulnerable to breakage or further damage due to decay, cracks, or extensive fillings.
- Enhancing aesthetics: Crowns can conceal imperfections such as discoloration, misshapen teeth, or gaps, dramatically improving the overall appearance of your smile.
- Protecting after root canal therapy: The tooth becomes more susceptible to brittleness following a root canal procedure. Crowns safeguard the weakened tooth structure, preventing fractures and ensuring its longevity.
- Anchoring dental bridges: Crowns serve as anchors for dental bridges, effectively replacing missing teeth and restoring function and aesthetics.
- Covering dental implants: Crowns seamlessly integrate with dental implants, providing a natural-looking and functional replacement for missing teeth.
Are Dental Crowns Permanent?
Dental crowns are designed to be durable, typically lasting around 10 to 15 years or even longer. However, they are not considered permanent. Their lifespan can be influenced by various factors such as wear and tear, oral hygiene habits, and underlying dental conditions.
